I don't think I really have a Boston accent -- which I really dislike the sound of.

Most movies that use a Boston accent make everyone sound like Ted Kennedy or an imbecile :)

I try to enunciate clearly and not drop my R's (not "pahk the cah in Hahvard Yahd!) :-6

A nice accent-less well spoken accent. Failing that, almost anything apart from

a Birmingham accent.

Although I was born and raised in Birmingham, I don't think I have a strong accent which I guess is good as it is generally considered to be the worst English accent by those outside of the Midlands. I've been mistaken for an American or an Aussie when I've been abroad, even by some Brits. In it's extreme form, the "Brummie" accent can sound as if it's the result of a frontal lobotomy, but it is stronger amongst the "yam-yams" of the neighbouring Black Country. My son lives in Wolverhampton where it is really strong but he remains unaffected....arrr:o

Love Geordie, Scots but not Glaswegian, Irish but not Belfast



Can't abide scouse accent (sorry Liverpudlians, not personal) and don't like brummie much either sorry!



I have found that when I'm talking to Americans I drop all hint of an accent and become very clipped and precise.



Best voices are Richard Burton, James Mason and my beloved Viggo Mortensen (swoon!)

The artist formerly known as my Mother-in Law, used to have a broad Black Country accent which was made worse by grammatical corruption. A fave was "Where am ya?" :o

A variation on this, "Where am ya goooin'?" was the icing on the cake

Oi loive brum oiut off oit, roight?

Actually my own accent is kinda neutral southern Irish (if there is such a thing), though being born in Birmingham I sympathise with the West Midlanders on the slagging of their accent. I have to say Northern English women have kinda sexy accents in an earthy way, I quite like them, though some are a bit hard to make out. I remember staying in Middlesbrough for 2 days and understanding little of what was being said to me, though Glasgow takes the biscuit. Great city, but you really do need a translator sometimes.

When you say British is arousing (by which I think you mean "recieved pronouciation English" or RP), do you mean liz hurley british or Queen Elizabeth II British?

As for the Scottish, I lived with a Glasgow woman for 5 years, and yes its a great accent, but the violence can be troubling sometimes.

God yeah, I forgot about that. Sorry, I must get round to it, you would get a kick out of it I'd say though you might find it hard to understand sometimes. It was funny actually coz when I lived with these american girls in college they got a real kick out of my accent, though they got freaked out a bit when I got angry coz they weren't used to Irish people (of course I'm usually very pleasant). They had heard what they though were Irish accents on television (that sort of maddened, murderous Leprechaun accent that non Irish people seem to put on and that we find hilarious). But they hadn't really heard an actual Irish person as they lived in states where there weren't that many real Irish people actually from Ireland. I used to have to talk to their moms and that on the telephone like a sort of Irish cultural ambassador to Indiana, it was fun. Whats the Utah accent like?, we don't get much of that one here.

Growing up in the American south....I love a good drawl! (I suspect I'd love to hear our very own ADAM say a few words.)

An accent I find very pleasant is Afrikaans. There's a softness to it.....

And the East African English is lovely, too.
