Personally I think the Northern Viet accent sounds smoother and more elegant than the Southern Viet accent. Southern accent can sound nice but unfortunately majority of Southerners are lazy speakers and thus make the accent sound bad

Hanoi accent (standard for Northern Vietnamese)

Sorry I can't find one to represent Central Vietnamese. Central Vietnamese sounds a lot different from North and Southern Vietnamese though

You're right about their accents. The north central guy could be from Thanh Hoa/Nghe An area. Didn't you guys notice the southern guy has cambodian look.
XigonCongchua
^ I was aware of that lol

The original Hanoi accent is spoken by Kha'nh Ly, the famous Vnmese singer. Most of people having that accent moved South in 1954.
This one is also cute:

I'd pick ThaiThanh's accent over KhanhLy's to be representative of HaNoi accent back then. I have aunt grew up and educated in Hanoi and her accent is similar to Thai Thanh. I like Linh Dan's accent too.

Both just have the same accent but Thai Thanh's tone is more acute.
