A nice, deep Welsh accent does it for me every time.

Whatever a "California accent" is, I don't think you have it. Certainly not a "valley girl" accent!

My mix of New England and Midwestern heritage sometimes prompts people to ask me where I'm from--they sense that I'm not from around here (i.e., Indianapolis). One time while re-entering the United States from Canada, I got hassled by a Customs agent who seemed to suspect me of being Canadian.

I'm not sure. I've asked him about it a few times but all he tells me is that I talk really fast and kinda slur all my words together. Ian told me I sound just like his California cousins.

Yes! This used to happen to me all the time when I was in the US.

To answer to topic question:

I like American and Canadian and English accents.

And some Aussie girls sound fine, too!

I was reading this & I got really pissed off! I was born & raised in California, I've lived here all my life & I have NEVER come across any1 who talks like a 'valley girl'! I do talk really fast though, well people say I do but I don't think I do.

unfortunately for me,

SEVERAL

accents are capable of, um.. distracting me:


a nice, heavy SOUTHERN accent..

a Russian accent can do it to me (HAS done it to me..)

a proper British accent is (to "uncultured" American ears) quite sophisticated.. & SEXY..

a French accent- damn. The way French women "roll" the r's with the tongue...
DAMN!

or, "WORST"-
that I T A L I A N accent.. them too, the way the do their r's, the way they pronounce almost every syllable, it's a VERY "accentuated" way that they speak..
virtually NO DEFENSE against this...



Damn.

South African and Brit accents.
