Phoned a new customer today in rural Tennessee.

The secretary had an unforgettable, silky-smooth mountain accent like Dolly Parton.

What do you think is the most appealing US accent?

Fake French accent like Pepe LePew cartoon character. It's funny.

Gotta be a rural southern accent outside of LA. MS, AL, GA, SC, TN, maybe TX and AR.

For me it would be Central Virginia—think Richmond, Lynchburg, Charlottesville. It sounds southern, but a more refined southern dialect and less harsh and twangy than what you find in Georgia, Alabama, etc. East Texans speak nicely as well.

Nothing like a woman who has that soft south Louisiana voice who is 5 foot nothing 100 nothing and would drive a semi if needed.

A woman with a refined Deep South accent is tough to beat.

Latina ladies whose families have been here a bit. They speak English very well, but the accent is there.

Southie Boston if you are into the rough stuff. You will definitely get a finger in the butt.

This has nothing to do with the Most Appealing accent request but is too funny not to share.

The wife and I went to Boston for a trip out onto the cape not too long ago. We landed at Logan and went to the rent a car stand. There was a black guy manning the counter and when I walked up, his mouth opened and an exact copy of the voice of Cliff Clavin, the Mailman on Cheers came out of his mouth.

I choked, trying to not laugh. The wife, who immediately knew what my problem was, just turned and walked away from the counter as I attempted to talk to the guy without laughing.

He was very helpful for a rent-a-car guy who sounded and talked exactly like Cliff. Gave me a pretty good map to use on our trip out to Hyannis Port car, too.

The wife has a nice vintage 1960s cheerleader accent that I like a lot.
