Makes me wonder what an accent o' Gwynedd sounds like, though, an' if it be close ta Scots....

Hi, Rinalda:

The best-known actor with a Welsh accent that I can think of is Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill). He's not from the area of Gwynedd, though, but further south in Pembrokeshire.

The accent is quite musical, lilting and diffident. It works nicely for insouciant sarcasm, but it's not as convincing for growling threats.

[Oh, and lots of the minor characters in the new Doctor Who series have Welsh accents, as they're shooting mainly in Cardiff.]

Cheers, Hester
