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.

P.S. appreciate the feedback!

I’m especially curious about the specific features you’re picking up on, like particular words, vowels, consonants, stress patterns, or intonation that make you associate my accent with a certain country or region?

I speak multiple languages, so i wonder if you hear any French or Italian influence, or any influence from the years I lived and studied in London? I’d be interested to know which specific features make you hear those influences rather than just the country you would initially guess.

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.
