What is your favorite accent?

[Marvelmania]

I had a meeting today with a couple that are originally from Ireland. I've met people from all over the world but never someone from there before. I don't know why but is was a real kick to hear their accent.
Anyone else enjoy hearing an accent and if so what's your favorite?

I think English accents are cool. :yes:

I like the way Argentinians and Uruguayans speak Spanish...they have that Italian accent going one.

[Bill]

I prefer the tilde or umlaut.

[SUP-Ronin]

Agreed. It is also nice if they can't speak any English at all.

I also like a nice southern accent for chicks, too.

[EmergencyIan]

Southern accents from pretty women.

Brittish, proper and cockney.

[toys2cool]

I don't know...Here in Miami i hear so many accents :grin:

I guess German & Swedish for Blondes sounds about right :grin:

[misterdroid]

I really like northern English accents. And I LOVE women with eastern European accents.

Michigan and French.

Michigan and French.

I am from Michigan, and in my mind, have no accent. However living in the southern US for the past few years, I have had friends ask me repeatedly to say words so they can then laugh at my accent. Thank you. You just made my day.

[Meule]

Scottish

[The Bat]

Irish, Scottish & English.

[garagesale]

Australian, mate.

Nobody said NY/NJ accent :smiley1:

As in Joe Pesci in Goodfellas :smiley1:

There is something about English accents that sounds sophisticated.

I also like certain styles of Southern Accents that also have a sophisticated sound to it. It's hard for me to pinpoint what region of the South but it seems to be Southern Virginia/North Carolina....I'm thinking along the lines of Shelby Foote (he was a leading authority on Civil War history and was interviewed a lot in Ken Burns Civil War documentary).

My first girl friend when i was 12 was from Texas. Ive always had a weakness for a southern accent since. :heart:


Nobody tell my wife.:yeah:

[Mikey]

Most people in America love British accents ......

I'd love to hear what the Brit's think of OUR way of destroying the Queen's English :grin:

[Megospidey]

I live in Arkansas (born in San Diego, so I'm not native) and nothing beats a pretty blonde speaking with a thick, Southern accent.

I also love Irish and Australian accents.

[garagesale]

One reason I love the Australian sound is that it's kinda British in a Cockney sort of way, but it seems a little Irishy, too. There are Americanisms thrown in here and there, and there's just something that makes me think of how we talk in the American South. Maybe Australians are the rednecks of the British Empire? (I say that with the utmost respect!)

I'd like to know why British guys are always used on U.S. reality shows as the abrasive blunt guy....like Simon Cowell, Gordon Ramsey, etc.

They do the same thing :wink_y: :smiley1:

Unfortunately, I've had American bosses worse than the two of them combined. Had a CFO at a previous company even mouth a few curse words at me while I was in the middle of a presentation. Another one was so angry that he ripped the phone out of the wall and threw it against the opposite wall.

Kill the messenger.

[JPkempo]

Any accent as long as she is cute, or she has huge tracks of land.

[wayne foundation 07]

When I was a sophmore in High school we had an exchange student from South Africa,Ingid.She was dark complected,and that english tinted voice of hers was mind blowing.She spoke properly and fluent,best 6 months of high school.So her accent ranks the best!

[mego73]

I like all accents that come on pretty women but a sweet voice tinged with a British accent (i.e. Hayley Mills) would make me go nuts.

[The Bat]

My opinion might be biased....because I'm in love with Kate Winslet.:drool_y:

[Surfsup]

I love the Scottish and Geordie accents. Why aye man!

[dumbldor]

Pirate accent, of course.

[mego73]

Pirate accent, of course.

A chick with a pirate accent and eye patch = an 8 ticket ride...

:yes::yes::smiley1::smiley1::smiley1:

Bawlmerese, Hon.

[shellhead]

Scotish ach,mon!

[Hector]

Even though Spaniards and Mexicans speak a common language, and aside from the different Spanish accents...it also carries over in English.

If you really pay attention, Salma Hayek's accent is very different from Penelope Cruz'.

I prefer Penelope's accent, she sounds adorable.

[Marvelmania]

Come on Hec, do you really hear anything she says while looking into those eyes?
:smiley1:

[Hector]

:smiley1:

She does have those lovely sleepy eye look...I go ga-ga over those types of eyes.

:smiley1:

[Joe90]

Pirate accent, of course.
Yeah, Pirate (Devon/Cornwall) accents are pretty cool. I hear them in the accents along the Eastern Seaboard of North America -- from Newfoundland to Jamaica.

Those Pirates got around, eh?

[monkey tennis]

I don't know what part of the US
Holly Hunter's from, but every time
I hear her speak I want to strangle her.

I love the New Zealand accent and the New York accent.

[johnmiic]

I love the accents from the UK. Brit, Scottish Brogue, Irish are all ok with me. I like the dalect like the- Liverpool one. I'm sure I've heard others from watching british TV on PBS but probably couldn't identify them all. Not sure if I could take hearing Cockney all day. It's not the sound that bothers me but it takes some insider knowledge to understand what people are talking about.

I also like the Aussie, South Affffreeee-ka and New Zeeland accents. I could listen to people speak like that all day.

[Sowth]

I like the Massachusetts accent, but also the Tommy Lee Jones style southern one.

I used to have an assistant from Windsor Ontario too that I could listen to all day (and often did!). Irish female accents are probably my favourite, but north island Kiwi accents on girls sound cute too.

I'll stop there before I get into trouble!
