I’d love a British accent, like the sort Jason Statham and the others deliver the snappy patter in Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels in.
If we’re just talking VOICES, I’d love to sound just like Bill Murray.
Another mimic checking in, though there are a few accents I can’t manage - I’d like to be able to do those.
You DO realize I could start some serious shit of the DOONish type by cross-posting this, don’t you? 
For me, I can’t think of any non-American accents I find unattractive.
Why limit yourself to one? The beauty of accents are in their variety.
The accent I have is just peachy, but if I had the choice of adding others I’d like (in no particular order);
- North Yorkshire
- South Irish
- Boston
- New Zealand
- Cornish
For starters please. If not, can I just here more of them, thanks.
And a word to the mimics; you know all those accents you can do? You can’t. And it’s embarrassing when you try them. OK?
Welsh
So no one has ever done an accent that wasn’t their own, convincingly? I call shenanigans.
My boyfriend can. He can do many, many accents - and he sounds really hot when he does a Brit. Only problem is, he doesn’t do it often enough to suit me (or at the right times ).
Plus he can do sound effects, etc. He’s my pet mimic, I always tell him.
Umm…
points at random
General grouping of Brit accents. It’s always fascinated me that a country that small can divide into so many accents (speaking as someone from Texas. ).
General Deep South accent, if only so I can boggle people up hereabouts in the Great Pacific NW.
[hijack]Actually, I’d settle for being understandable to the majority of people, as I’ve had speech therapy for years on end, and I’m told that I still talk funny. Realistically I know having perfect speech is impossible, but it doesn’t stop me feeling rather down about that.

I think my French-Canadian accent is cute enough, eh?
I said I liked the accent…what he actually says is another matter altogether.
I want to sound Brazilian. And I want Mr. Beckwall to sound like one of those guys from Oasis. That way I can say “excuse me?” all the time and really mean it.
Second choice would be Barcelonan (Catalonian?).
I used to have a strong Southern accent but then I moved to New England and lost most of it. I want my accent back.
As for foreign accents, I would pick Irish.
I have a bit of a Southern one still, even after living in SoCal for over ten years, and people seem to rather like it. (My hubby says I have just enough of one to be attractive.) But if I were going to have a different one, I’d go for Irish. ROWR!
In the States: Georgia
International: Irish or Scottish
If I marry an American, I’d want him to possess a Long Island accent, like Steve Buscemi’s. But I’m told this is a highly unpopular accent in the 'States. 
Definitely Irish. And seosamh, since my family comes from the area of County Fermanagh, what would you call an accent from that area?
Reminds me of a reviewer writing about the television show, Touched by an Angel. He said that Roma Downey’s character proved what he has always believed - that all angels speak with an Irish accent.
I’m German and working in the Netherlands, but I grew up in Virginia. Some of my colleagues are quite surprised when I use my flawless southern accent.
As to an accent I would like to have, I’ll go with Scottish. I’ve got two Scots as colleagues, and they have great accents.
The sexiest accent on a woman is Brazilian (I should know… my wife is Brazilian :D). Also, don’t confuse this with a Portuguese accent. Portuguese is much too nasal and harsh. Only Brazilian will do.
I’m a mimic, so the question for me is “Which accents would I like to acquire?” (Right now my best is Non-R-Dropping Southern US, followed shortly by BBC English.)
The one’s I’d most like to nail are those that are close to something else, and thus hard to define. Like Yorkshire, Seth African, or Welsh. (I once had a psychiatrist from SA. He prescribed me “pulls” instead of pills.)
Now you’re asking. That’s a neck of the woods with which I’m not that familiar. But a key element is how a person from Fermanagh would pronounce a word like “Now”. In the north-east corner this becomes “nigh”.
As a matter of fact, it is. I don’t know why, but it just makes me happy to hear French-Canadian women talk. I also really love British/English accents, and Italian.
However, were I to have an accent (I swear I have about as close to no accent as is possible) I would want some form of Irish. Doesn’t matter the type, the women all swoon regardless.
