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!

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.

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

[Surfsup]

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

[dumbldor]

Pirate accent, of course.

Pirate accent, of course.

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

Bawlmerese, Hon.

Scotish ach,mon!

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.

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

[Hector]

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

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?

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.

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.

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!
