quicko: the southern draw(l)
Australians range in their estimation of most American accents -- some like them, some don't, some are fairly neutral -- but most express fondness for the Southern accent. The Southern accent! As a proud Northerner, I constantly take offense at this. Sure, the Beach Boys might have liked it, but really? Southern? Oh, come on!!
They don't seem to care, though. Guys, girls, everyone. Australians like the Southern accent.

I'll listen to anything that isn't so nasally that it grates on my ears - no idea what that means for whether I'd like your accent or not.
Kim, I'm from Louisiana. I left Louisiana over 20 years ago and I've never lost my southern accent. All my life people have commented on it. I love my accent and I think if you got to know me, you'd like it too. :)
Kim, Is Ohio really north? :)
