I want to smooth out my southern accent a bit and someone said learning french does that.
Learning any language can help you smooth an accent if you work on it. Singing lessons will help, as well. Basically, the idea is that you’re learning pure, unadulterated (un-accented) sounds that make up words, whether those words are English or another language. It takes effort, and/or a skilled teacher. A speech therapist could help you, as well, more accurately.

No, it’s not exactly true…
When you go to another country and you live there for a long time, your accent will be smoothed.

Experience, A British guy that I know came to Canada a long time ago and lost his accent in 5 years.
