SonoLuminus Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 All those people saying "British" or "English" accent... which one? Because I certainly sound completely different from someone from, say, London... and neither sound like the old fashioned 'BBC Accent'. I knew somebody was going to say that. Most of them, really. But if I had to pick one, it's whatever accent Sir Anthony Dowell has. Maybe that's the "BBC accent" you're referring to. I've also heard it called the "posh" accent.

Tiger Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think the Jamaican English accent is the sexiest. Colin Jamaican accents are sexy, mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menzoberranzen Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 A British accent on the right guy makes my toes curl Like Alister from BBC's Cash in the Attic I <3 you, Vic, but he's mine, so back off bitch! For me, it's an Australian accent that sends me over the top. Jesse Spence from House.... Menzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 You know what's kind of surprised me? Usually there's one or two who're enamored with a Southern accent for some reason. Personally, I can't stand my accent. When I hear myself in a recording, I think "Oh god, do I really sound like that?" and then I over-enunciate my I's for the rest of the day. Mine, however, is very light. If I'm speaking to someone born and raised in the South, they usually tend to believe that I wasn't born and raised here. If you wanna hear the really good accent, piss me off sometime and listen to me yell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ieshwar Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 To be truthful, I have absolutely no idea what you guys are talking about. For me, it's always English and no accent! The time I try to understand the native English (you guys something talk too fast! ) and I get no time to pay attention the accent! Btw, I'm very hurt. No one said anything about Mauritian English! I say leave English and adopt French! Now, that's a sexy language! Once I fell in love with the operator in a call centre after listening to his amazingly awesome and sexy French!

Menzo Definitely with you there Menzo. I need to get out more, the only accents I hear are Philly ones. It's so overpowering that if you live here for like a year you sound like a native, it's weird.

Menzoberranzen Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 It looks like I'm not the only younger for older kind of guy around here. hehe No, I tend to dislike the older ones almost as much as the younger ones. People tell me that I'm the problem, but that's just silly I like being alone very much, so I don't mind holding out for the perfect guy. As for accents, I've never heard a Mauritian one, but I'm sure you have a very sexy voice Ieswar, don't worry. I also like South African ones, and certain British ones (Jeremy Irons in Brideshead Revisited or Damage, anyone?) I liked British ones a lot more before I moved to London, where every one and their dog has one. Menzo (who IS on-topic ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rknapp Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I didn't like the Scottish accent until I heard the actor who played Oliver Wood in the first two Potter films speak (too lazy to look him up... Sean something IIRC). Now I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinian Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Btw, I'm very hurt. No one said anything about Mauritian English! Ieshwar I've never heard a Mauritian English accent. How about having someone video tape you talking and maybe even singing, and posting it to YouTube? (If you need anonymity, have the lights low and your face in shadow). Then we'll know the Mauritian English accent and will be able to add that to the "Other" category! Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickolasJames8 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 To me, there's nothing sexier than a thick Southern accent. If I tried to explain why, it would take all night, so I'll just leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at two now, thanks to that Scottish actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarin Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think I have to disagree with...well...everyone! Have you ever heard an Icelandic boy speak? I melt! I've not heard much from an Icelandic woman though. That and a South African accent. It is almost British, I think. Never truly compared the two. Although I'm loving and learning my French, I don't find the French accent verry attractive for some reason. Oh, and did I mention Canadian, eh? Ontario area, I dont know about your accent areas. Only the word "eh" though. The rest of it is too upper-midwestern to seem like an accent to me. The Newfies make my head spin though. :wacko: A great website to listen to these accents courtesy of Geore Madison University: http://accent.gmu.edu/ This one is specially for Ieshwar: Click!

Ieshwar Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Oh, I remeber Icelandic! But it was a 'she'. I think it was 2006, in the Miss World. (yeah, I se Miss World! ) The Winner was Miss Iceland. Not bad. Never heard a He-Iceland though. And unfortunately, I'm too shy to have myself on YouTube *shies away* I believe it would be a mixture of african and Indian. Ok, it's not sexy! :wacko: And robbie! It's Sean Biggerstaff! (I think it's right. But Bigger Staff is a nice name *wriggle eyebrows!* ) And Tarin, unfortunately, my loudspeaker just broke and I need to buy a new one. I couldn't listen to it.

Razor Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Even within accents, there are subgroups... talking about the southern thing, there are two way different ends of the spectrum as to southern accents. You get that nice, pretty southern drawl that makes a person sound innocent, sweet, and respectful. Then, you get the gabble that makes a person sound like the wheel's turning but the gerbil's dead. I must maintain that while certain accents COULD be sexy, it is the man that makes the accent, not the accent that makes the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, the natural voice of the man contributes to the accent. If he has a good voice, the accent compliments it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just talking about French accents, for which I voted, because I don't want to talk about "foreign" accents . There are so different French types, the accent from North of France, the accent from Provence, the accent from Paris, the accent from South-West, The accent from Alsace, the accent from the deepest part of the Massif central.... Every one is the reflection of the characters of the people living there, and the "sexy" part is only one side of the whole. BTW, your accent is much less important than the way you speak, the words you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
