Obviously lots of accents/dialects based on location like American southern, Australian or Jamaican. Anything like that is an acceptable answer. As well as non native english speaker’s spoken english sound, like a Latino/a person.

    Within the US, west coast Asian American accents. I can’t explain it, but second generation Asian Americans have this very clear and neutral diction that is very easy to understand by anyone.

    Outside of the US, probably Irish and Afrikaans.

      It is actually nice when the person has better language proficiency in English. What people often make fun of on the Internet are many who either don’t know how to speak English or don’t know it well, and that’s pretty common and normal for that country of 1.5 billion. If you listen to any seasoned Indian journalist (especially a bit older), you’d hear that faint old English lilt (from the middle of the start of the last century). You will also find that in the way Pakistanis speak English. It’s very similar.

    I absolutely love hearing a woman speak with a French accent. Second best is an Australian accent.

    So the really irish ones where you can’t understand more than half of what they are saying with the melodic lilt is like soothing. You can just listen to it purely for the sound of it. High class british sounds so classy though.

    I like most or all of them when the speaker has at least above-average proficiency. Except American. Esp. the one that rolls a lot and for long (probably from the South of the USA, I am not sure). That’s what makes it very hard for me to watch/hear most of the American content.

    My favourite, though, is from my home country, which has a very slight tinge of (old) British accent (colonial leftover/hangover) and also the Middle Eastern accent (it’s close to home), again only if the speaker has very good proficiency.

    Yorkshire. Jodie Whitaker’s accent. Fucking love it so much. The way she says radio in the Tesla episode? OMG. I love everything about it.

    Also genuinely love Indian accents, and several southern US accents, but not all of them. Not a big fan of Appalachian or west Virginian accents, Kentucky can okay depending on the region, and coastal Virginia is pretty good. Western Virginia (not west Virginia, but the mountainous western portion of Virginia) can be grating to me.

    Charleston accents are chef’s kiss, and the accent I was born into until I forced myself into a general American accent as a kid
