Hello! Received Pronunciation (RP) is the standard accent of British English." It is often referred to as "the Queen's English" or "BBC English,". It is traditionally associated with educated speakers in southern England, particularly around London. RP has certain distinctive features such as Vowel Pronunciation, Consonant Pronunciation, Non-Regional and Social Significance.
In the context of audiobooks and media, RP is often chosen for its clarity and neutrality, ensuring broad comprehension among listeners. Hope this helps!
