British English (England)..Old guy with a big hat and a monocle. Very serious, very prideful, arrogant, yet very pessimistic. More calm and wise.
American English...Hard to say since we have so many ethnicities, races, etc, but I guess they would be a little less uptight or serious than the British. I am thinking of a Teenager or guy who says dude and man and bro after every sentence.
Canadian English -A guy who is polite, nice, respectful, clean but very distant and not too friendly. The best way I can describe them would be someone who is "Square"
Australian English...Surfer dude or someone like Steve Irwin. Kind of someone who is laidback, but wiling to take risks, short tempered.
New Zealand- No idea
South Africa- No idea
Jamaica- Don't know, I guess Some guy with dreadlocks who is relax, doesn't worry about the big things in life, doesn't let that get him down, smokes a lot...likes music, singing and dancing.
India- Some smart guy who talks funny in a call center.
Boy this was fun, again this isn't meant to offend anyone, and I am not an expert on this. Maybe someone else can do a better job at this and has experience with different accents in English.
French: someone who is half slept and can't be heard easily. A woman.
Italian: A man with moustache talking loud.
Spanish: A young woman in front of a classic painter.
English: The person you never know if he is sincere or not, smiles a lot but...
Swedish: a small man with hat singing when talking.
Portuguese: A helpful person who talk and talk.
Catalan: someone looking at you on your shoulder, generally a man in its 40's pronouncing L very strong.
Arab: A baby who can't pronounce well yet.
Thai: a young woman with make up and a very soft voice wearing an orchid.
Ladino: a person from some centuries ago showing treasures to people nowadays.
I don't understand why people think German sounds angry or harsh. It certainly isnt the softest language in the world but to me Dutch, Russian or Eastern European languages (Polish, Czech etc.) sound much angrier and harsher.

I think people are generally more familiar with German than the rest of those so it's harsh within that group.

Also for a lot of people most of their exposure to German is through WWII movies spoken by Nazis lol.
