Just wondering what kind of accents people find interesting.

I speak with a slight cockney accent but without cockney speak. So for instance "I like fish and chips from Skegness, going to Flottingham and going on holiday to the south of France" in my accent would be:

"I like fish 'n' chips from Skeggie, goin' ta Flottin'um an' goin' on holiday ta the south o' France"

Also:

Bath = B-A-th (Very sharp sounding. Not like the RP British
"B-aa-th")

Tomato = Tom-ah-toe


I also adore the french and irish accents.

Your topics are so fun!

I like most all accents but faves are By person if you will:

Billy Boyd Scottie is hottie!

Orando, I just like how he talks, not sure if its the accent or a general obsession.

I have a voice thing, If I can't stand to hear a person speak, I am just put off by them all together.

Tom Cruise just kills me. I am not sure what it is...

Hmmm...

Billy's scottish accent is definitly one of my favorites! . It's like this friendly, sweet innocent tone, when you know he isn't.

Dom's got a very unique accent, actually. Seeing as he lived in Germany for 12 years when he was a kid and then moved to Manchester, so it's sort of a mix of both. And he's sort of picked up alot of American sayings over the course of a couple years. But that doesn't take away from the fact that it's liquid sex.

-snort- Maybe I should move on.

I actually do like Orlando's accent. O.O I'm really not sure why. I don't even like him, and yet I'm in love with his accent!

I'm a fan of Irish accents, Scottish, and certain kinds of British accents.

I like mild accents, most of the time. I love Hugo Weaving’s accent as the Australian’s just nicely mixed with his English…I am going to stop there. It’s 86 degrees F here at the moment, too hot to be thinking about Hugo.

I reckon my accent is fairly similar to Billy Boyd’s, although mine went slightly strange living in London for five years, and having to adopt a cleaner, slower pattern of speech so that the tourists, a lot of whom didn’t speak English as a first language, could understand me. I actually still use some Cockney-isms occasionally.

'iya all! This is Hathor, typin' in her own weirdy accent. Peculiar, innit? It's like (extreme emphasis on the k there) a bizarre mixture of Lancastrian, proper 'ard Scouse and ev'ryone's favourite, Estuary English. So... out wood in t'ole and all that, righ'?

My accent is weird as you can all tell. It must be admitted that I only get truly Scouse when I'm angry or challenging someone (I found myself saying "D'you wanna say that to my FACE pal?" the other day. Ooops) and the rest is quietly in harmony, and all in all, I sound quite posh compared to lots of other people around me. Only in comparison, though...

[Aerin]

My accent is what I call a non accent. The west coast plain speech. we tend to whine our A's just a little, I catch myself and cringe.

AMLEE: WOW! I adore your avatar. How'd you do it?



Heh. Sometimes I like my accent, sometimes I loathe it entirely! Depends on what kind of day I'm having.

Thank you. I found some pictures that I liked and then I put them on a gif program to make them flip like that. I am new to this and I am just playing around to see what all I can do.

[SpaceWeavil]

[Amlee]

LOL you think that ones bad you should see the one I have done of Orlando Bloom It's Orlando sunbathing and Orlando wet in a pool and Orlando almost asleep. I am still working on it, but boy is it drool worthy!

[Amlee]

I still say he's a bit to wormy for my taste, but I would give good money to run my fingers through his hair!!!!

I haven't tried anything yet like what you have. Like I said I am still new at it all.



Oh back on topic: One of the accents I can not stand is someone that isn't southern trying to speak southern. They all seem to be from Great Britian or Aussie's. What is up with that??

[BittenBuggy]

This is certainly fun

I have an American 'newscaster' accent. Which means, it is unidentifiable. I've never really lived anywhere long enough to aquire one, so I'm just fine with that. However, after spending less than a year in Heathrow, I find myself picking up a southern english accent when I curse. (Which I never used to do until I moved to the Ol' Island - but british slang is too much fun to pass up.)

I love the heavy scottish accents - to the point where you can't understand a word they're saying. I like the soft, gentle sound of the southern english and of course, the loud, boisterous Italians

The Russians and the Germans are the most fun to listen to when they are angry - the Spanish come in a close second just because of the SPEED with which they can spit out sentances. Its a amazing, man. One half of my family is first and second generation Spanish which made family gatherings very interesting. They are such an amazing group of people, lots of passion and love of women and babies You'd think Jesus decended everytime somebody anounced more little ones

All in all, I can appriciate any accent - except I do have a lot of trouble with the southern American and the classic Brooklin'
