Let's see.

Dwarves: Billy-Bob Thornton's accent from Sling Blade.

Elves: Transatlantic accent. Used by stars in the 1930s/1940s.

Hobbits: Cajun. Makes sense, they love food, live a rural life, etc.

Orcs: NYC accent

Goblins: Chicago Accent

Or, if you wanted to go international.

Dwarves: Gotta go with the classic. Glasgow.

Elves: South African. I think it can sound smart but foreign-influenced, as elves should.

Hobbits: Aussie

Orcs: NYC accent again

Goblins: Newfoundland accent

    Transatlantic for the elves is a stroke of fucking genius

    Edit: I’d also like to advocate for southern Appalachian for hobbits, prohibition era gangsters for orcs, and Midwestern for Tom Bombadil specifically
