Best English accents - International edition!

This blog is called "Britishisms" ... But yes, a list of best English accents would be incomplete without including some of our favourite people who have been endowed with a beautiful larynx from other countries


Morgan Freeman
My god, are you kidding!? Let's just stop the list here! No one in the world has a better voice than him!
Hailing from Memphis, Tenessee, his accent is a delightful example of an accent from the southern states of america, traditionally the friendliest and warmest of accents.

Kelsey Grammer (Sideshow Bob, Frasier)
His accent shows an amazing example of what's called the "mid-atlantic" accent, which is an American accent most comparable to a British accent!

Audrey Hepburn
Did you think I was gonna leave her out? She also displayed a lovely "mid-atlantic" accent... also she was ...damn hot!

The "Southern Belle Accent" (The southern states of the USA)
On girls, sounds HOOOOOT!....

Whereas on guys.... sounds.... mmmm... kinda dumb..

With the obvious exception of Matt Mconaghey, who, I have to say, could possibly turn a straight man slightly gay

Sarah Silverman - Comedian
Honestly I think I'm on my own here, but her nasally voice really works for me! Well...  a New Yorkish/Jewish accent, I just love it!

The very short International Shortlist

Just because you're not a native English speaker, it doesn't mean you can't have an awesome accent!
Just... just watch!

Christoph Waltz - Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained
Originally from Austria, this soft-spoken man shows that even if you have English as a second language, it's not always best to try to lose your accent! His accent is amazing!

Sofia Vergara - Modern Family
The Colombian hottie! Such a cute, pretty, damn sexy sounding accent!

Why no Australians in this list? Because fuck 'em! That's why!

The Best of British accents!

Let's be honest, there's no better accent than British! If you don't have a British accent, prepare to be very jealous, or prepare to practice impersonating their voices for the next few days!

First up, Dame Judy Dench. What movie was she in where she plays the serious looking older British woman? Oh that's right... all of them! But we do love her!

Next up, Jeremy Irons, you know him as the voice of 'Scar' in The Lion King!

Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) ... Yes.. He's British!

Alan Rickman (Severus Snape in Harry Potter, Hans Gruber in Die Hard) 

Perhaps more funny than admirable, Brian Blessed has a huge, booming voice which does not seem to have a volume limit!

The polemic figure of the late Christopher Hitchens, Whether you agreed with him on his politics or not, his diction could make you feel very intellectually inferior indeed.

Are there any others you'd like to include to this list?
