The BBC do a Welsh channel I believe... or try searching for Welsh internet radio stations!
Failing that listen to lots of Tom Jones records ;D

Every time I hear a Welsh accent, it reminds me of the time in the Magistrate's court, 10 years ago, listening to the feeble excuses of the Welsh toe-rags who stole mine, and my lads super-bikes (from England).

...we never did get our bikes back again...>:(...!

BAW....I'm afraid to inform you that you were not descended from a Welsh nobleman....
You were more likely to be descended from a Welsh toe-rag....
...trust me... ;)...!

LOL... ;D...!

Paul...much too close to Wales... :'(...!

There's no such thing as a typical Welsh accent. This depends on which region of Wales you come from. You could do worse than listen to famous Welsh actors Richard Burton & Anthony Hopkins. Here's a clip of Richard Burton reading the poem "Under Milk Wood" by Dylan Thomas. http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/wales/walesonair/media/audio/dylan2?size=au&bgc=C0C0C0&nbram=1&bbram=1

PS. I wouldn't worry too much. In my experience Americans are hopeless at imitating & recognising British accents.
