When i traveled to Europe in 2001 and again in 2003, i found the accents i came across rather sexy. Mainly the Italian, Czech and Russian accents. Some of the guys asked me why i sounded a little different from the rest of the group in 2003 because i didn't sound like them, well i told them i'm from Indiana and they're all from Kentucky. It seems from those i've met abroad like the northern accent better than the southern twang. Others like the southern twang better than the midwestern Indiana one. Others don't like the American accents, as there are quite a lot of them, and by a lot i mean A WHOLE FREAKING BUTT LOAD of different accents. (i get made fun of for not sounding like i'm from PA and i've been living in Pennsylvania for 4 yrs now)!! Go figure!!

I was raised in Toronto, Canada however my background is lebanese/turkish and I was born in Sierra Leone, my accent I have been told is very unique noone else in my family has it.
On a repeated basis I have been mistaken for having a strong new york(brooklyn), or boston accent from the way I speak. I have also been mistaken for british, aussie as well, I don't really know why.
This one time I was filling gas at the station and when the cashier asked me if I was from around here (I had lived in that region for over 15 years) I said what do you think, he responded you sound Austrailian so obviously my response was, "I'm visiting for the week"
it's fun as well my looks can pass as several different ethnicities so I play around with people hehe.
Back on topic, an accent I really enjoy is from central Minnesota it sounds so very homie and kind
Another thing when I visited seattle this past summer I didn't really hear much of a difference in the way people speak, it was little stronger sounding and much louder emphasis on some words than in canada, and I was asked by a resident what I was doing on the west coast, she assumed I was from new york east coast.
well sorry for the ramblings who ever read it hopefully you'll get a laugh. -

Haha thanks dude
The people in seattle(west coast) actually sounded more like the people in toronto(east coast) although as I said they emphasize some of their words with more umph as if they are making sure you are hearing them. Vancouver was more of a calmed down tone very very relaxed and slow talking.
Like you said later in life I'm 23 now and when I retire or even before I would love to move to Vancouver city to live, it is such a beautiful city compared to toronto, and not everything is fast paced like it is here, it's a sensational place I'd love to visit their again when I get a chance. -

I have a lazy west coast accentI'm from a small town in the valley. Basically I sound a little drunk. Most kids from here sound the same. But the adults don't since they've been out to the real world. LOL
I don't like British accents since I sometimes have a hard time understanding what they are saying! I'm like "wtf??" whenever they speak. My favorite accent is an Italian-Brooklyn. Oh, and Californian. Besides that I don't like muchnot even mine. -

I have the californian accent but for some reason I got a slight southern drawl on some of my vowels and my r's are a bit off and I can sound very black sometimes with my t's and th's. I think it's weird. I like it though, I wouldn't want any other voice, but I like that I found a fellow california-mix although I've been a native all my life, but I guess moving up and down the state I have friend from the south who lost her accent after a while living in massachusetts but I think she sounds a lot like me, so you might sound a bit like me too!

The normal "clean" accent that the majority of Americans have is called the Midwestern Diction not the California diction. I can tolerate most of the world's accents with the exception of two. I really can't stand a Brooklyn/Lomg Island accent. Many people have already discussed that some accents affect attractivness. In my case if a woman has this type of accent, I'm severly turned off. The second is a Scotish accent. A good example of this is Craig Ferguson and that guy who does those documentries on the Science and Discovery channel (not Bear Grylls).

As a straight girl, the only female American accent I've found at all attractive was the girlfriend of the guy who died in the film "Shooter"
I'm anespeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericumbobulations
