Про нейтральность:
>When a linguist says “neutral”, they mean “towards the center of the oral cavity”, i.e. not at the extreme front, back or bottom. The most neutral vowel is the much-maligned schwa.

>Next time you hear a British person speak, listen for their vowels and mimic them, especially their “ah”, “aw”, “oy”, “oh”. You can see where they are articulated and why holding them in song is less natural. Not that people don’t sing in British accents. The Clash did it. And Green Day does it in an affected pretentious way. But look at the style of music – punk is suited for those great tight vowels made down in the oral cavity. Singers can and do retain and/or put on accents. And that is a cultural aspect which is not the focus of this article.

>The major difference between the general varieties of English and British accents occur in vowels pushed to the bottom of the mouth – the main class of these we call the “a” vowels. Like the one in “father” or when you say “ah” at the doctor’s. Things are muddy down there because the points of articulation are cramped. And the Brits make things more fun by rounding some of theirs. Also Brits have a tendency to produce most of their vowels (especially diphthongs) with their tongues placed or ending lower in their mouths. In singing, one has to project and enunciate while trying to hit absolute pitches. That means opening up the mouth and loosening up those cramped British vowels. That means losing that British accent and moving into acoustic ranges that are described as American.

Я в таких случаях кидаю это видео. Телевидение, а не непонятно что из хреново-кукуево, плюс обычная речь, а не песня)
