Favorite accent?

However, being a true patriot, I am banning everyone who loved the Aussie accent!

Looks like I got banned :p

OMG! Not at ALL! I the South African accent! Though I do find the hardcore Afrikaans person speaking English (like Jack Parow or Die Antwoord) rather entertaining, I completely cannot resist an English South African accent. Hmm its hard to describe, like my Afrikaans boyfriend went to an English private school and he's got this South African accent when he speaks English thats just to die for! ... then again, maybe I'm biased! LOL

Hahahaha. Yes, Die Antwoord type accents are hilarious from an entertainment point of view. I love putting that accent on as a joke. But when you're watching a non-SA tv show and suddenly a character appears with an SA accent... UGH!!!

Here is an accent challenge I did cos some of my overseas friend's were asking. I'm South African English, no Afrikaans here http://bit.ly/1xLh0eU

British, because it's the swaggest accent.

And Irish, because it just sounds bad-ass.

I'm South African and personally hate my accent. Also when I hear SA accents on tv I cringe. We sound so stupid

If that's you in that challange video, I would of said british accent, not SA.

Irish and English accents are so sexy (am I allowed to say that?) Australian is a fun accent. Jamaican accents sound almost musical and I love them. I'm learning that I  really like Japanese accents too. I don't think I have an accent. Its just...there I guess? Just a regular American non-accent? Would you even call that an accent? I used to date this guy from Israel and wow did it blow me away at how gorgeous and soft it was! Yummy

North-American USA english accent is considered neutral. The same can be said fro the spanish from Mexico and the spanish from Spain. Different accents, but Mexico's is more neutral.

Trust me you have an accent.  No one can hear their own accent.  I am an Australian living in Southern California and I have never met anyone who doesn't have an accent.  The only people who don't sound like they have accents to me are Australians I've already heard speak.

Oh yeah, there's a SoCal accent. When I went to college in Indiana people picked it up right away. Apparently it's also a SoCal thing to talk really fast? I didn't notice until I got out of state and people asked me to slow down yet fellow SoCal students could understand me perfectly.

Even in a mono-lingual country like Japan there are accents. I learned to speak conversationally in Iwate prefecture in Tohoku, so I speak Japanese with a Tohoku accent, which Japanese people can pick up instantly.

As for my favorites, Australian, Middle Eastern, and South African accents are my favorite. I also find Indian and Scottish to be interesting to listen to.

Yep that's me in the video  And phew, that's a relief

I've always liked the Australian accent and British.

[ringwraith10]

Lol, this is an interesting question. To be honest -- I like a real Caribbean accent. Though any accent from another country is always interesting to listen to. My aunt is Russian, and she does NOT have the stereotypical Russian accent that you always hear in movies and things. Not all Russians have the same accent, and I always have to point that out when we're watching one of those movies.

[Silver Glade]

Good question!  I like lots of African accents, myself - especially those from Nigeria, Uganda and Liberia! 

[Cumberbatch2012]

British and Australian.  Guys with those accents.....mmmmm, lol!

Of course you would like a British accent, Cumberbatch2012.

Gosh this is giving me a giggle... what is with the Australian accent that appeals to so many people? Of course I can't tell because I've got one myself, you can't hear your own accent. Though I get teased endlessly by my boss (who's from England) and coworker (Aus/NZ) that I sound American or Canadian!

I guess I like Irish accents, but I've only ever heard them on tv which isn't the best example. I've grown up with so much American and British TV that the mild accents sound normal. I want to hear a strong American accent in person, and more broad Aussie accents, I rarely hear them locally lol.
