Any French influence?
I was born in the US but I spent alot of my early childhood years in France, is there any noticable French influence in my accent?
And don't mind that old radio gravy texture, I can't really find any formal recording of mine.

Was playing an accent guessing game, got this audio, but then the website froze and I couldn't find out what the answer was. Thankfully I had the audio file in my cache, of which i've turned into an mp4 so that I can post it to this sub. This is really driving me up the wall but I just can't place it! Thank you so much in advance to anyone that would be able to place the country of origin for this accent!!
I grew up and spent most of my live in South Korea and learned English through American teachers that spoke pretty generic American English, so I normally speak with an “Asian-American accent.”
I want to try learning how to do a Southern accent, since I love playing country music on my guitar, and I would love to sing them as well.
Hi! Im not a native english speaker, can you please tell me what do i sound like to you, I would like a feedback.
Are there any obvious features of my native tongue in the way i speak? (I reveal my native language by the end of the video)
Does it sound unpleasant by any chance or is it bearable enough? My goal right now is to sound as ambiguous as it gets. If you want to share an advice, feel free! I will gladly take in any information! thanks!
I’m aiming for a standard American accent. I’ve always struggled with three things: the American R sound, lowering my voice placement, and intonation. However, I’d love to hear what native speakers think I need to improve on besides what I've mentioned.
I know it's not perfect but I think I have improved a bit. What are your first thoughts when listening to my accent and can you guess where I'm from? I will appreciate any suggestions or constructive criticism :)

P.S. appreciate the feedback!

A How can you let that man talk to you like that? You should have said something.
B Why would I say anything? That's probably exactly what he wanted.
A Wow, I don't know how you keep your cool in a situation like that.
B Of course, there is always a part of me that would love to just go off on people like that, but I know that would never end well.
This is probably too short of a recording and vocabulary to clearly map out my accent but still give it a go.
How obvious is my foreign accent? Can you tell where I'm from? Any tips? Thanksss
This is what I've read out (just a random article):
«Hay poco margen para que algo salga mal: atardeceres, bikinis, pieles quemadas, abdominales, muchas sardinas, arroces, muchas cervezas, bastante sangría, alguna botella de champán y miles de tickets que registran esas consumiciones y que a veces exhiben cifras mareantes y difíciles de justificar. La vida de chiringuito se parece bastante en todas las playas —da igual si estás junto al Cantábrico o al Mar de Alborán, frente al Mar Menor o a la ría de Arousa— y suele dejar buenos recuerdos en los clientes. “No puedo decir nada malo de ningún chiringuito. ¡Si solo me han sucedido cosas buenas en ellos!”, confirma el cómico Joaquín Reyes, que ha pasado muchas horas en ellos durante sus veraneos en El Mojón (Murcia).»
