Accents
 

Now there is just something damn hot about some peoples accents eh!!

I've been watching Alexander Skarsgard in other works but True Blood, and most aren't in English, no idea what the hell he's saying in a few, but fuck me, is he damn sexy!! And of course being a Swede very comfy in hot'n'heavy scenes, phew! He could quite literally have me in a lather before we got to the touching part *LOL*

There are a few others that have the above effect upon this Aussie *L*

Who does it for you????

Italian

Australian or Welsh. :)

HMMM I can get very specific either South New Jersey or Northeast Philly

Ooooo I forgot how sexy this one Welshman's accent is ;)

Aussies dont have an accent FallenAngel, well to me at least *L* Though PF keeps telling me he uses and interpreter when speaking to me *L*

A few more...though i tend towards certain area accents within these places below. Also i find it depends on the actual voice of the speaker too.

English
American
Canadian
Scottish
Irish

Oh I just love accents:

Scottish
English
Irish
Aussie


just to name a few

Irish Irish :irish:

Cajun..... makes me lose my mind....also Russian

Definitely French.

Ooooo now thats one i forgot.

French...oooo laa laa

my answer would be YES, lol

I found most females with an accent sexy,
but it does sometimes depend on the person.

I love Mayhem's well ennounciated Brit accent. (Considering that he grew up from a few miles from where Ozzy was from, he could've had a non-mumbling accent like Ozzy, but rather a posh sounding accent.) I get a kick out of trying to identify the different accents of the UK. But anyway, whose do I find the sexiest? I gush over his own very person specific Scottish accent-Sean Connery! mmmm he's sexy at any age :D

I like her ^^^ thinking. :)

A lot of people say I look like Sean Connery. :D










......... or was that Marty Feldmen? :rolleyes2

ha ha neither old man.

East Anglian accent any good lol

In the USA, there are at least six distinct voice affectations available in our pronunciating of the speech we hear. ALL are certainly subject to being called "accents" to those not native to the particular mannerisms. 1. New England (or the NE US) a few syllabic inflections for changes from town to town and states; 2. Boston; 3. Southern with its variations from state to state; 4. Appalachian Mountain range folke and localities have many discernible intonations (& some nearly undefinable colloquialisms); 5. Central South which includes Texas and surrounding states; 6. West of the Rockies where we all speak clearly enough for all to understand.
My great Aunt used to say about some of her friends from Texas, "Let's get 'em livin' here 'n' we'll have 'em talkin' right in no time."
If anyone recalls "Festus Haggen" from "Gunsmoke" on tv in the 60's, in him I've reckoned that, "That there's a fine example of clearly sayin' what is to be said."

I've had several people try and place my accent. I'm originally from Connecticut, have family from Indiana, and have lived in the south for over 10 years. Oh, don't forget that depending on time of day I am more nasal because of major allergies. I've mistaken for midwest, New Jersey (sorry New Joisey), southern all my life (even though I know how to read lol.).........No I will not post a voice sample.

I say again, Aussies are the only ones without an accent.

Oh shush, you people talk funny too.

No, you just hear funny.

I do love the Aussie accent (despite Oldfart's proclamations) and the first time Catch and I spoke on the phone, i melted. His voice still does that to me on the phone. He could read the phone book to me and I'd follow him anywhere.


(shhhhh.....don't tell, but i'll always love a real cultured southern accent.....and Scottish, too)


--- kathy :wink:

Are you talking northern Scottish or southern Scottish. Sean Connery is southern Scot right near the border and he sounds an awful lot like Patrick Stewart who is English. Farther north you go, thicker it gets.

Whut is this ax-sent you speak of?

Not a clue, don't have one :D

Wanta whisper in my ear and see what happens?


---kathy :hot:

Oooooooooooo, sounds interesting *L*

Mmmmm, I am within driving distance now. :car: :idea:


-----kathy

Dang are ya? Where ya be, we should catch up for a coffee sometime!

Near Ipswich. How far away from there are you?

Its only about 90klm away from me. Definately need to catch up when we can

Australian
Scotish
Irish
German
Southern (US)
British

... heck, they're all good! :)

Sounds like a hell of a plan.

Citrus,
I beg to differ there are at least 3 different accents in NJ alone (the pure north jersey accent ) the Staten Island /NY transplants (which could be 3 sub categories in themselves ) the south central Jersey (sounds like Philly ) The Philly and the pure South Jersey..... Also phrases like "That's a Dandy of a game !!!"

To me, the accents aren't so much sexy, but if the person herself is sexy, AND has an exotic (to my ears) accent, that just multiplies the hottie factor. Best example I can think of is the lady doctor that used to be on "ER", can't remember her name, but...she was nice to look at anyway, but that Brit accent of hers just kept me drooling thru every scene she was in...

Of course, Fran Dreisher is proof that the wrong accent can undo all other sexiness of an individual...
