Because they were told to stop sounding like hicks, lol. Then they tell some jackass from michigan who ran away to LA to sound like one.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The Walking Dead cast. Even the Americans. None sound as if they are from Georgia.

I'm basing this on what I've witnessed through cinema.
We are exposed to lots of US TV.
But I know what you mean.
Americans seem to only do two british accents (badly) incredibly posh or cockney.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

I take that back! Michael Rooker who played Merle Dixon was from Alabama. Close enough!
