LuckyMcSwervy 0 #1 June 10, 2009 OK, so I've been around almost a year now and I've met so many awesome people from all over the world... One thing that sticks out is their accents. My favorites? Spanish and South African... Spanish accent because it drives me nuts (in a good way, think Andy Garcia's ) and South African accent because I think it's HOT. Always be kinder than you feel.

MikeJD 0 #3 June 10, 2009 Andy Garcia has a Spanish accent? Is that just in that dream you had? And funny you should mention South African - I think that's my least favourite. Um, no offence to any SA natives on here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Um, no offence to any SA natives on here. Yup... in his earlier days it was a bit stronger. He's actually Cuban... Now it's not as pronounced but when he's not in character it comes out a bit. I've been totally smitted with SA accents since I was about 15 years old when I met pro surfer Martin Potter at a surfing event here in New Jersey. YUM YUM!! Always be kinder than you feel.

ianmdrennan 2 #13 June 10, 2009 I always find it interesting when people find the South African accent appealing. I find our accents rather 'gutteral' and rough..... but hey.....if the ladies love it! Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heatmiser 0 #17 June 10, 2009 + 1 My pops was a Russian linguist for the Army, so I grew up hearing alot of Russian, so any English spoken with a Russian accent is very pleasing.

I LOVE Andy Garcia's voice and accent, but I wouldn't call it Spanish - much more Latin American than European. Very sexy though! I think a Spanish accent (from Spain) is pretty distinctive whether they are speaking Spanish or English. With Andy Garcia- I think its a combination of the deep voice and the slight accent that does it for me. He's kind of cute too, but its the voice that gets me the most!

Clearly we need to start an Andy Garcia fan club. I remember going to see The Untouchables when it first came out. Everyone was going on about that hot guy who played the lead (one of Kevin Costner's first big roles). Yeah, he was aight, but I was all googly over Andy Garcia. Have been ever since.

On further thought, I do have a soft spot for a British accent ... O Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We all completely understood when the lucky girl who answered the call began to slide off her chair. I heard my first Scottish accent when I was about 11 years old. It was a new friend's mother. I was hooked. I was smitten (she was built, too). I was in love AND in lust! 40+ years later I can still just sit there & listen to her talk. I don't care what she says, just talk!
