I like all accents. But my fav is totally Newfie! Why? It's so fun to listen to and most Newfoundlanders tend to be really nice. ...though I'm not Newfie when I moved to Vancouver people thought I was, some people were very rude too. I'm an honourary Newfie! Kissed the cod and drank the Screech (oh god the Screech!) They're like Canada's Irish

I lived with an Aussie for 3 1/2 years, so, to me, that accent is played and damned annoying. I prefer Mandarin, Irish, and Italian accents now. More locally, I like the Boston/NE accent the best in the U.S.

Oh, I'd never think an Aussie accent was annoying. Too sexy to be annoying . To each their own, though. As for American accents.. I do like a nice southern accent. Not redneck-ish, though.

I like the Jamaican/Carribean Islander accent, but it sounds better from a man than a woman. IMHO

British accents I love! Have a hard time with some Indian accents on the phone (Indian accents are almost always tech support workers overseas) Southen accents -here in the US are the sweetest
