Most Nordie accents from well to do and rural areas sound nice.

Their working class town and city accents sound like knee capping imminent.

Evanne Ni Chuilinn, has a nice soothing tone as she tells us the sports results, easy on the eye as well.

What's wrong with the way she speaks? I find her very easy on the ear,

Jonathan Ryan, maybe not that famous but nearly everyone here would recognise that voice from radio/television ads.

Jonathan Ryan played the doctor in The Irish RM (from the mid 80s) which is being shown on TG4 every Sunday evening at the moment.

Awful Tipp accent and a lisp!
John Creedon and Paul McGrath are good shouts.
Rory O'Connell has a very good speaking voice, but a bit too posh.

No probs. I just thought you were having a laugh.

Not at all. In fact I'm surprised to hear so many voices from down the country represented in this thread.

Can I ask why? The thread is about Irish accents. Considering there are twice as many people in the mythical land of 'down the country' as there are in Dublin, it's perfectly reasonable they'd be proportionally represented in the thread. Is any accent that isn't an affected D4 one not considered Irish?

Yes but the “twice as many” includes the, truly dreadful, accents of Cavan, Monaghan, Louth, Laois, Offaly, Longford, Carlow, Wexford, Waterford, south Tipperary, Limerick “city” and north Cork.

The beardey guy who used to read the news in Irish for decades in RTE - not sure what he was saying but he always had a lovely voice.

Michael Murphy, he came out a few years ago.

I think he won the award for most popular newsreader for lip-readers years ago, which was unusual because he had a moustache and beard!

Newsreaders generally have lovely, neutral accents, the late Don Cockburn was another one I'd have listened to reading the phone book.

But top of the pile for me is Brendan Keneally, the poet.

Cillian Murphy has a nice deep tone.

Another false ear grating accent, he couldn’t even drop it for that disaster of a film, the wind that shakes the barley.

Would that be the same film that dared to show that Dublin didn't single handedly defeat the British?

D4 is awful but a toned down one is not bad but only on a girl. It sounds so childish imo and I have the accent(sort of)

I can't remember now but it was directed by Ken Loach, he had people acting in it that never even set foot in a cinema their entire lives.
