  • this sounds like an american with a speech impediment...good try but it doesn't sounds like "standard american" at all

  • Americans do not enunciate every other word. You sound like you're having a stroke.

  • Sorry not standard you have a southern twang :-(

  • this is old american accent

  • It sounds like you're trying to imitate some president giving a speech 100 years ago.

  • Americans speak American not English!

  • Yes, no that does not sound "American" at all, it sounds like a British person trying to sound American.

  • Good try... That accent isn't standard American English. Standard American English is the mid-western dialect. You just have to learn to neutralize your voice to make it accent free. Practice words like coffee, car, New York...

  • this accent is so weird. it's like a hispanic accent, mixed with country, mixed with a geeky white males accent. never heard anything like it.

  • Yea, you voice everything far too nasally for it to be standard american.

  • I thought this was very close to the "neutral" American accent; that which is spoken in movies, television and the large swath of the continent from the Appalancians to the Pacific Ocean. The northeast is riddled with dialects that may vary even within cities, and the south has some very nasal, heavily accented dialects. (Most professionals learn standard, so even people from the deep south like Jennifer Anniston and Newt Gingrich sound like they are from the Central Plains, or the US standard.

  • what do you mean by "standard american"? The US has many accents. Colorado though seems to be about as accent free as you can get.
