I like the Portuguese accent from the province I was born in: Minas Gerais! My family moved to Sao Paulo when I was 10, so the greatest part of my Mineiro accent has gone with time.
Listening to girls from Minas speaking makes me smile. So sexy! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Interesting, I hated it. Ended up turning the movie off. It's funny how accents can have different effects on people. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes it's true that some of accents sound very attractive as they spoken. As example Arabic accents and Bengali (Indian) accents are really sounds sweet. On the other hand some of the accents sound very bad... like Tamil (Indian) but all these vary from man to man.

A lot of people I know love the German accent and language - it has a harshness about it that they find edgy and sexy.
I find that foreigners can say something that, when said by a native English speaker wouldn't be very funny, but somehow their accent and slight grammatical errors make it seem hilarious. Also, some Irish and British regional accents seem to lend themselves well to comedy. To me, French accents can sometimes be very sexy and sometimes completely unsexy, depends on the speaker's voice and the region. I've never found the Spanish accent very sexy personally. Girls from anywhere outside the UK always like my Scottish accent, it's a good selling point ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

For me.....
For female - Slavic accent's the sexiest, Austalian accent makes policewomen look more professional, serious, and manly (in a sexy way) for male - heavy German accent makes the guy look more professional, look like an expert in whatever he's doing, while..... Texan accent makes him look more like a psychologist (yes, seriously, even before I got into those Dr. Phil episodes).....however it only works if the voice is of a 40-year-old-plus Dutch accent (both male and female) - open-minded about the world (like someone would give a public speech about AIDS awareness), cultured Turkish accent - sounds like a hard-working guy with a lot of common sense Edited by Bill_Sage667 on 27 August 2010 at 4:48pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
