    Lots of votes on here for Australian men.....I didnt think I spoke out of the ordinary!! ;-) But thanks!!

    I have something for English accents on woman, but not all English accents!!!!!

    I might also add......what annoys us Aussies the most is when our Aussie actors star in American films and fake an American accent!!! We hate it, and now I realise that you guys all love the accent, makes it even more strange that they would get us to do that!! ????

    If the actor is playing the role of an American, it stands to reason that they'd have to speak with an American accent (ie, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine). I have found that I can usually spot an Australian faking an accent most of the time, though. Something about the vowels they can never seem to get quite right...especially the long i sound. Not a criticism of Australian acting abilities, just a general observation. Of course, on the flip side, there are very few Americans who can get an Australian accent right. That's just as annoying, trust me! Australians do have beautiful accents, though. Love 'em!

    I guess when people say 'English' accent they mean the traditional Received Pronunciation style dialect. I can guarantee that NO ONE would like my northern 'English' accent...

    I love Australian accents- so sexy

    I like both the southern and northern accents :) I especially like the accents from Yorkshire, hehe


    People from London seem to have trouble understanding my Yorkshire accent.

    Me, I like the Geordie and Cornish accents.

    Personally like the aussie and scottish male accent (ewan mcgregor may have coloured my judgement there)

    Find it funny when Americans say they like English accents cos when I was out there only 1/10 could tell I was English, most thought I was Australian and I have a Queens English accent as well...

    I LOVE ACCENTS. But the ones that I have had the pleasure to enjoy are English and South African.

    On the contrary - Rene Zellweger and Meryl Streep aside, most American actors who attempt an English accent always hit the bullseye with an Aussie accent instead :laugh: ..and then there's the likes of Kevin Costner who didn't even try, and made our legendary Robin Hood an American.

    Personally I dislike most Aussie accents, they often sound nasally and a lot of Australians use a rising inflection at the end of their sentences, so everything sounds like a question? ..To my ear also the Afrikaans accent is the absolute worst, it sounds so unnatural and forced, probably because if it's hybrid origins, it's even worse than Brummie. :tongue:

    Apologies to any Aussie, South African, or American actors reading this, it's just my opinion. People from the English west midlands though, particularly Brum, get no such consideration.
