I wouldn't have called Merchant's accent upper-class, it's pretty strongly Bristolian. I mean, I'm from Devon so my accent's kind of a toned-down version of his mixed with RP mixed with Scottish mixed with Irish (crazy parentage and strongly-accented people I grew up around)... Basically, most of us Brits would consider his accent farmer-ish. (If you are a Brit, I apologise for appearing to exclude you from 'us'.)SckizoBoy said:Ah... so the 'mild' or 'soft' accents... as it were. Stephen Merchant's quite... upper-class, but it's a natural accent that he has. Compare to say... Made in Chelsea (or whatever the hell it's called), they sound ridiculous (hideously posh, but sounds soooooooooooooo forced and effected... *blech*).Lilani said:I dunno, I haven't really heard a British accent I'm not terribly fond of. I've heard Stephen Merchant's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibzbTu_Rmy0] accent is southern and I don't mind that, and Christopher Eccleston [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgpT0wjC-iY] has a northern accent and that's fine too. Apart from those I'm not really sure I can distinguish any others. It's all British to meI guess those strong, stereotypical cockney accents are a bit obnoxious, but I have yet to come across a real person who speaks like that.
OP: I do like me some Scottish. The brogue, though, West Lothian or Edinburgh style rather than broad Glaswegian. (My own accent, while it occasionally borders into the Scottish, isn't anywhere near Scottish enough to render me immune to its sexiness.) Alternatively Irish (same justification) or whatever accent Regina Spektor has. Though that could just be her.
A lotta people are obsessed with mine, the typical southern posh-ish accent. It's the one they're used to associating Britain(when they mean England) with from films and radio.
I can't actually think of what accents I find nice right now, tends to hinge more on the person and how they use it..
edit: I do love a strong russian accent, partly for comedy value.

I'm partial to Russian/Eastern European accents and Irish accents. I like listening to spoken Arabic, though not the accents so much. There's always Cockney, but that's just fun to listen to rather than sexy.
I've never been a 'sucker' for accents in such a way that I only pay attention to the person who has it the entire time. They at least have to have something worth saying.
I like any accent that isn't my own (American - California, not valley-girl). Though usually I find the accents I like the most are the cleaner versions, with plenty of annunciation. But if I had to chose one to deem the 'sexiest'? I seem to enjoy hearing Scottish accents more so than others. Favorite language to listen to, French (males preferably).

I dont know if its the accent but ive always found eastern european women very attractive.. dont ask me why... usually french or italian are very nice accents tho.
I find quite a lot of accents here in the UK sexy, depending on the right area of the region where they're mild-to-moderate and don't get too thick. I like scouse chicks (though a particular type of the accent), a few in the mid-north, Irish, and some of the lighter Scottish ones.
French, some Spanish accents, and almost anywhere from East Europe are sexy.
There is one (and only one) American accent; but I've no idea how to locate or name it. At a guess, it could be from somewhere around upper-south; though I could be way off. It usually comes up in depictions of 1950's-ish suburban America.
When they say "life" it sounds like saying "laugh" (not in the 'larf' pronunciation) if you drag the word a little. It has a dainty sound and in my mind is like a stepford wife kind of accent.

I don't just look at the accent (so to speak). I listen to the voice itself.
I consider the American accent rather 'meh', but I knew one American girl whose voice and accent combined was incredibly... er, nice to listen to.
But no, I have no real favourites here.

Probably an English accent, but it'd have to be the right one.
Whenever I watch "Ocean's Thirteen", I completely adore the accent and voice of the woman at the front desk of Bank's hotel. That type of accent is sexy to me, but of course, her smooth voice helps a lot.

Pretty much anything European is good. I also sometimes find southern US accents inexplicably sexy.
Sexiest Accents for Women
1. Australian - Perfect mix of sophistication and ruggedness without sounding snobby. As an added bonus if you mention how good looking Australian women are to an English woman they fly off the handle, and start spouting that they're only good looking because they sent their criminals and prostitutes there, it quite funny how offended they get.
2. English - Sophisticated when it's done proper, bad when it's not but has a tendency to sound snobby.
3. French - It just is.
4. Russian - It's got a sort of tough and classy sound
5. I don't know can't think of a 5th right now
Worst Accents for Women.
1. Chinese - Really any oriental, there is a reason why people make jokes about it.
2. Indian - Same reason as above but slightly less annoying.
3. Southern - I know there are a lot of smart people in the southern stats, but to me it just sounds ignorant. No matter how hard you try you just can't make honey boo boo sound intelligent.
4. Irish - Ironic since most of my heritage is Irish and I know a lot of people will disagree with me on this, but just don't like it sounds primitive to me.
