    Just looked up the guy from that clip. Should've done that before asking :eusa_doh:.

    He sounds really nice; not too hard on the eyes either :icon_bigg. Seems like his accent isn't too heavy? Anyways, thanks for sharing.

    Yep, Ireland seems to have as many accents as it does people and it changes from town to town or even village to village so I can't quite point out where that accent comes from, but I'd guess Dublin/south-east Ireland.

    In all fairness, it gets the England/Scotland/NI/Wales part out of the way in the first 30 seconds and moves onto the Commonwealth, Gibralter, Channel Islands and obscure Indian Ocean islands soon enough.

    I also found an English > Brummie translator.
     
  3. I find most foreign accents compelling in their own way, provided it's not overdone.

  6. I find certain australian accents to be sexy however I'm not sure what type of accent I have.
    I think it was a part of MLE but I'm not sure.

    Not so much sexy, but an accent I can listen to all day without caring about what they're talking about would probably be Welsh. Or specifically northern Welsh, the type you find in the slightly more rural areas.


    HA! The number of times I've said the bold when someone has said "so you are a brummy then". The cheek of it, brummy indeed...

    Oh, wow. I didn't realise the Australian accent was so popular, haha! :grin:

    I feel special ^_^

    My favourites would be the English (UK) & some American accents (e.g. Californian).

    Depends on the person, really. Any accent can be sexy to me, depends too much on context and person.

    Depends on the person - IME people who still live in there home area tend to have the strongest regional accents, followed by those who have moved away from home but are currently drunk. :roflmao: (the accents from the former industrial cities across Northern England and West Midlands tend to be the most distinctive and least likely to vanish when people have moved away).

    When you move away you generally mellow your accent a bit to ensure you can be understood, even though my accent and dialect still give away my home town some 13 years after leaving it (the first couple of weeks I was in the East Midlands I was understood much less than I was when I visited the Czech Republic a few years later and muddled by in English and German with a dash of Czech!)

    Geordies are quite distinctive, even if they move away from home I can still detect the accent, love the Geordie accent, Whey aye man :slight_smile:

    ^^ Thanks for that, lads.

    Yeah, I'm just not too familiar with accents other than the most popular American and British ones. I was surprised how bearable was the accent in the vid you posted. I liked it very much :slight_smile:
