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)."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

My first girl friend when i was 12 was from Texas. Ive always had a weakness for a southern accent since.
Nobody tell my wife.Lo there do I see my Father.
Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
Lo they do call me.
They bid me take my place among them.

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.Comment

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."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

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.
