You know I can't speak for this syndrome, but a colleague of my parents automatically sort of 'mimics' the accent of his clients (he's a businessman working in sales) so when he's speaking with Australian clients he sort of does this...super weird Australian accent (for example, we're not Australian) :D is that conscious or on purpose

Oh I know, not trying to make fun of him :D it's just interesting :D an aussie accent is a special thing on its own! Beautiful in its own right.
