Adapting your dialect to match the audience shows that you are being considerate of their communication style and are making an effort to connect with them. This can increase your credibility in their eyes. Keeping your dialect or not caring about your dialect can make it more difficult for audience members to understand you and can lower your credibility. Changing your dialect entirely may come across as inauthentic and may also be difficult to maintain throughout the entire presentation.
