Si amigo, mi casa es tu casa > Cleared to land Clarence
Italian and French mature Female ATC is very ummm NICE
) not as dry as the British or Eastern european, Japanese female ATC is also very pleasing, as for Dutch.....gargle and speak at the same time.
The world is shrinking, by the 33rd the galaxy is shrinking. I wonder if broad regional accents still exist in the year 3300, I'd hope so but kinda doubt it.
So you hate the British accent? How incredibly xenophobic. You American by any chance? Or just desperately attention seeking?
Take care Cmdr you sound a tad ignorant in your outlook.

there's an aussie lady who sounds just like my ex-gf in a foul mood, who says "FFD out!" in a way that comes across as "go and get stuffed!"
all the controllers i've heard so far have been very professional, but i'd still like to hear some specifically for the low-end factions or very remote outposts - e.g. where the guy was half asleep and is taken by surprise, or the tired bored old-timer, or the one who's really a scientist who was unlucky enough to draw gate shift duty, or such - e.g.
"yeah hang on a moment, be with you in a sec... ah, zero five. use that one. cheers, commander."
"oh, what now! how many more of you jokers are there? land at zero six. don't make a mess. jeez."
"sorry! sorry, i'm new at this... green panel. there... um, three six should be lit now. thanks commander."
"ok commander, you know the drill. don't speed, don't crash. you're on zero four. crew's on it's way."

Some ATC stories and yes vriginia they actually occurred.
British Airways establishing contact with Perth/Australia area control,
"Perth, Speedbird 123 has your Island in sight"
"Speedbird 123, Once around the island and report on finals"
On a Perth to Sydney flight 01:00 a voice says
"Christ I'm fvcking bored",
ATC hastily asks, "Station who said that please identify yourself",
"I'm not that fvcking bored".
at Amsterdam > "Nippon Cargo 123 turn left heading 123 to intercept localiser", a few moments later, "NO your other left".
at Heathrow > "Tower, Springbok 123 requests permission to dump fuel",
"Request denied Springbok 123 the Queen is in residence",
"Tower ask the Queen if she wants the fuel only or the fuel and the plane",

Oh, yes, we need Welsh and Edinburgh Scots too. As well as a few more American, Australian and New Zealand ones. And one that is heavily Swedish-accented.
I'll do the Welsh one, isn't it!!
For some reason, and an advance apologies to all our Scottish CMDRs, my first thought on reading the thread were:-
"Och, you canna do that laddie, the Station canna take it" as a reply to docking request.
(Also apologies to James Doohan)
There's a range of British accents in different stations, and to my ear, a range of US English ones as well.
The phrase that always gets me is at one of the Engineers, "Your arrival has been .... noted".

To All of you ^ +rep
Adding a bit of character to the FC would be nice once in a while (all the time would ruin immersion, but some would actually make it more life-like)
Been running into the same voice all day in trade circles... She voices 2 of the 4 ports I visit. don't these people take shifts??!!
because Amigo its set in the future

If you don't like the station controller where you're based, change the government.
where is that station my men xD
