Answer

Jim Broadbent is from Lincolnshire in the east of England.  His accent is not a strong one by English standards, and it is close to a standard southern English accent.  If you listen to audio files of words in online dictionaries, the accent will be similar.  I think he is a good person for a student to listen to.
