What's your favourite accent?

Where do I start?   It's impossible for me to choose a favourite because there are a variety of different accents I'm rather fond of...

I like some of the regional Welsh, Scottish, and Irish accents. I find the Yorkshire accent appealing, along with the Cheshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire accents. Then there's the Gloucestershire and West Country accents, and also English accents that are a blend of Estuary English and Received Pronunciation.

Finally, I find West Indies accents appealing, along with many European accents. 

Love the Liverpool accent and Scouser men are hotties - I once passed through Holyhead with a group of middle aged women (they all knew I was gay) and there was this 6 foot bald-headed Welsh policeman (total hottie) checking passports - we were all drooling over him but it turned out later on that he was gay and his boyfriend was a policeman in Manchester City Centre in my old store 

I’ve dated a few Welsh men, all total hotties and gorgeous Welsh accents to match 

The South African male accent is very sexy - I dated a South African hunk on the gay scene once and his accent was so hot lol

I’m not a pub person but I was in that same pub four years ago - a thing I couldn’t get out of- and all human life was there. And half of Belfast it felt like. 

I’m not massively into the Australian accent per se but as the first ever telly person I had a major crush on -Tegan from Doctor Who- has that accent, I think her voice and that accent are somehow perfection. 

I was at Wetherspoon's, in Belfast, yesterday evening. The place was drowning in London/Home Counties accents.

Oddly enough, it's the preferred watering hole for Belfast Meetups.

Or did you mean to point me to something else? Cue massive embarrassment when this is confirmed…

Gosh, thanks! Because of the podcast, right?  I will fight the urge to say you must be mad and accept the very - too!- kind compliment. 

I quite like the South African accent as it is one that I can easily imitate, which I enjoy doing a lot. I guess being part South African makes it easier for me

The Scouse (Liverpool) accent is one of my favourites and is, to put it bluntly, hot! 

I quite like all northern accents tbh, they have so much characther. and the old school cockney London accent which you don't hear very much anymore

Scottish accent is one of my favourites, perhaps why Peter Capaldi is one of my favourite Doctors.  I also like the Australian accent, just rolls so smoothly off the tongue - G'day mate!

as long as it is Benedict Cumberbatch!

I like Received pronunciation, Queen Elizabeth style. 

French is lovely. 

Finnish and Icelandic are nice too. 

I like a good English accent though. (I am a Scot) I like soft spoken men.  

A good Irish but soft accent well spoken is very nice. 

Oh! and Polish. Polish is very nice. 

I like Italian and French accents. I also don't mind a London or Liverpudlian accent either.  Actually, if someone is peaking with kindness, I don't mind the accent at all. 

Toronto.  I have never even been there, but I find the accent wonderfully endearing, and sometimes imitate it without thinking-- such that people ask me if I am from Canada. No. Sorry. Not from Canada. 

The classy accent is really a class accent - Received Pronunciation (RP), such as was used by old-time BBC announcers. Way back in time the upper classes spoke with the regional accent of their childhood homes, A Percy or Stanley knight, lord or earl, had a Northern accent, This changed when the upper classes started sending their children to be educated at the royal court - in London. However the real genesis of RP was when the upper and upper-middle classes began sending their sons to public school. In essence, RP began as an affectation in speech by privileged youths from all around the country artificially brought together, far from their home districts. 

I love the Texan accent. And North American accents are lovely to sit and listen to.

The Kerry accent is almost Welsh valleys somehow - similarities in tone and cadence, musical almost. 

Being proudly Irish with a polite Dublin accent, I love the SE English accent (so classy) from around London, even though I’ve lived in Manchester 20 years, yet I’ve still not lost my Irish accent (that has got me many English, Welsh and Scottish friends) - another poster mentioned about the differences in accents within Ireland and with the differences with the Northern Irish (Ulster) accent which is correct, although similar to the Donegal (in the Republic) accent - Cavan/Monaghan/Louth have similar too but then you can go into Meath/Westmeath/Offaly/Laois for another range of Irish accents - south to Cork and Kerry and up through Clare and Limerick as well - and of course there is the working class Dublin “Liberties” accent, heard from the Dealers of Moore St (they call us “Culchies” if we live outside Dublin)  - I’ve always liked to “keep it classy” and when on the phone, I’ve had a lot of compliments about my accent that is not even “put on” as it’s how I normally speak 

My favourite podcasters are Canadian. It's a warm accent.
