No! I hate the southern accent!! It drives me possitively insane! As the SpM says of himself, I have no accent. And by that, I mean true. I've no Northern accent, nor Southern...more likely to lean towards the Brittish accent if anything, but really, seriously, no accent, and definitely not southern.

P.S. Okay, so maybe it's not the southern accent itself that bothers me, but just the uneducated people that tend to use it. I live in a place where it's often used, and they always get their 'was' and 'were's' mixed up and 'take' and 'bring', and goodness knows I can't stand such simple grammar mistakes.

A secret shame I have then: I love Southern American accents. Forrest Gump prejudice, I know, but it's lovely. And so is Jenny.

Good....lord. Betty Boothroyd? My dear Mithalwen, how old am I?! And the other two are a little too, well...male, for a start.

No, for my accent...hmm, not sure, really - I don't suppose I sound that Northern, more often I'm accused of being Southern - and a student, actually, which is even more hilarious, bearing in mind I look about twelve - but the former is mainly just because of the area I live in, and the fact I go to a private school - around where I live is sort of...Little Surrey. Hence I only lapse into a Manchester accent when I'm speaking fast or getting angry, and generally when I do, the result is polite nods and blank expressions as my 'posher' friends try to work out what language I'm actually speaking...

I have been accused on page one of this thread of booming in my common indoor voice. I'll have you know that I don't boom. I am, for the sake of conversation, a medium-voice, and a 2nd tenor in the church choir.

Now when I walk I really do boom, weighing in at just over 300 pounds...

TOREstel : When he speakes it is with an enormes authority and no matter what he says you want to belive him. That plus the fact that he is not with out retorical abilletys, does that he could state; that the bible was a mix of LOTR and Harry Potter just much more freaky! and it would take a minute or two before people realises that it is nonsence!

I imagine it would sound like the speaker in Little Britten (and Hitchhiker's Guide). He to has some of the abiletys i mentioned before!

dancing spawn of ungoliant's voice is full of warmth and cheerfulness. She could say 'Balrogs don't have wings' in a way to make even a pro-winger smile.
