I noticed the all the clones have the same accent? Were they originally taught by Jango Fett? (Or is just to save money? I found out that most of the clone voices in the cartoons are done by the same actor)

Probably done to drive home the idea that they are all clones of Jango, and no thought given to “yeah, but _how_?” And, yeah, it means they only needed one voiceover actor.

Temuera Morrison, the actor who played Jango Fett, also did the voices of the clones in _Attack of the Clones_, and in a few video games; at some point, Lucas also re-dubbed all of Boba Fett’s dialog in the original films with Morrison’s voice. In most of the cartoons, the clones were voiced by a voice actor – Dee Bradley Baker – who performed in a voice similar to Morrison’s.

And to complicate matters, the follow-up series _Bad Batch_ had two female clones, one a child and one an adult, who were made of the same genetic stock, altered to XX instead of XY. Both of them also had New Zealand accents.

In Star Wars, accents are genetic. Except when they’re not (like Shmi Skywalker and Anakin).
