Do you have a favourite accent?

Whatever Dr. Smith's (Lost in Space) accent was.
That is my favorite accent.

To my French ears, Québécois accent are a real turn on ^^

Otherwise Danish/Finnish are super cute, it must have to do with their special pronunciation... and around a German accent I feel relaxed

British sounds too posh actually, it's really not a favorite of mine, same for Russian, it feels overconfidant...

LOL SERIOUSLY?!?
Do you mean when talking in french or English?
I've always hated the accent. I think we sound like half-drunk frenchmen. I made a lot of effort to try and eliminate my accent when speaking english, I'm happy when I get the "I didn't even know you were french" like a girl at work told me last week.

Edit: Half-drunk redneck like frenchmen. It kind of always bugged me, I feel most Québécois like me are like, the rednecks of the french world. That's kind of why I have so few friends that I enjoy on a daily basis. I usually enjoy the less trashy, bit more educated Quebecquers on a daily basis. The ones that have different convos than sports, cars, girls, make up, shoes and traveling or the latest reality shows.

For english? Whatever they speak the most so I can understand it, assuming I struggle with say French or Scouse accent, which means "New York American" or Posh I guess.

I think it's called the "Mid-Atlantic" or "Transatlantic" accent, because it sounds like a cross between British and American. I found it curious that it's an accent that's consciously learned and adopted - no one spoke it by default.

Here's more on it, if you're interested:

Depends on a language.
For English - French (but sometime difficult to understand)

Yes.
But Jonathan Harris had a unique variation of it that was all his own.
He was one of a kind.

Quebecois.

 

[Punisher]

Irish, Polish and Russian.

Just got off the phone with a fellow who had a South African accent. . . adding that to my list of favourites.

Whatever is saying "Did you like that? Would you like more?"

Definitely also enjoy a Serbian accent too. I'm not cultured or travelled enough to know if there's variations, but I watch a classically trained guitarist on Twitch who has a fantastic accent.
