For example I made an appointment for 1 teacher who teaches Estuary English this week, then next week is another teacher for speech/modern RP class. Then back and fourth. Do you think it should still be fine? I want to learn both.

Note my corrections above.

I wouldn't try to learn both at the same time, which is effectively what you'll be doing. I'd concentrate on one at a time - maybe have one lesson a week for a few months and then, once you're happy and confident with it, move onto the other one. I think you might end up confusing your brain and your mouth!

would twice a week be ok if I only need Estuary for acting purposes and the other one for speech? I wouldn’t be using Estuary daily uses

It's impossible for us to say. We don't know where you're starting from. We don't know how fast a learner you are. We don't know how best you learn.
 
Tony Blair was famously Estuary when speaking to British audiences, but more Brideshead Revisited when abroad. It is possible to be an accent chameleon, but it is not that easy. And Tony Blair's Estuary English was unconvincing. His Cockney was embarrassing.

It ranges from extremely easy for some people to impossible for others.
 
Definitely- it is a talent some have.

In your personal opinion does every 2 weeks sounds doable if I want to learn 2 kinds of British accents? 1 week for 1 and the other one for next week back and fourth?
 
GermanShepLuv, are you sure your native language is English, as shown in your member profile?
