Can't believe the whiney Aussies are so favoured!

I used to quite like the English accent (think Keira Knightley), but now that I'm living here, not so much a fan. Italian for mine.

Favourites are whatever accent is found along the west coast of the United States, Canada and the Afrikaner accent. Least favourite is New Zealand. Sounds like Australia and South Africa got together and New Zealand English was its bastard child.

Irish.

I can't stop myself butchering an Irish accent, sometimes, when I try to do it. The accents of Aisling Daly and Becky Lynch are perfection, IMO.

Also, OSW Review.
They had to ruin it, so this sig has nothing. You won't see me in the forum again. You know where to find my factbooks, have fun!

So General American, basically? Interesting; I don't hear many people pick us as a favorite. In the US we're generally considered to "not have an accent" (ugh).

Nah, the Mid west is all Canada like. You're thinking of the East Coast, besides New England. Like New York.

My favorite accents on the list (not counting my own bland, Wisconsin accent) are English, Australian, and Russian.

My least favorite are Scottish, Irish, and the American Southern accent.

I would think you you'd hate yourself a bit if everyone referred to you as a Kiwi.
