    Southern accents suck, Irish accents are cool, so are Brittish accents if you are someone like James Bond, otherwise you just sound TO Brittish.
    Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?

    I talk with a strong northern tone, which comes with all the ridiculousness you'd expect. I really like "posh" english accents, as well as middle-American one's.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    That's more to do with the voice than the accent, but that's beside the point.

    Accents I like, in no particular order:

    New York
    Californian
    Oregon
    Canadian
    Scots
    Various English regions
    Ukrainian
    Turkish

    I like Scandinavian and Finnish accents, they're just so well-spoken and <3
    I dunno why. American girl's panties just drop for British accent! It's like magic!

    And oooh, yes, I love Scandinavian-type accents. I like when Huxley speaks in Estonian. It's a nummy accent.

    I talk southern-neutral. People from other regions can understand what I say but there are certain words that might crop up to make them go 'what?'

    I'm not sure if I have an accent I prefer.

    I'm from the midwest, hence I have no accent. I adore british accents though.

    I'd go so far as to say that they're my favorite.

    The ones I can't stand are the New England accents. My baby has a good accent though, so I can't complain.

    Also, Australian. Beautiful. And Italian~

    Would you zombie bite me if I affected a Boston accent then? ;;

    I want to combine my NY accent with a Boston accent. It'd be like a creepy Yankees/Red Sox love child.

    It's another language you doof! And American girls clearly have no taste in accents. Although I will say that actually I was hasty in my OP and that classy British accents are pretty awesome, like Sir Ian McKellan. Just not common ones like Lily Allen

    Heh. American girls really do go mad for a nice English accent.

    I was there for 6 weeks and it was awesome. :reminisce:

    I have some sort of US accent...I used to have a Midwestern one, but now that I've been living in South Texas for a few years I'm starting to sound like the people who live here

    and I suppose for you Rye, I would say the New Yoik accent is wonderful.

    Most British accents make me feel like I'm standing knee-deep in awesome. And Japanese (à la Hiro). Oh yes.
