I heard one Harvard Commencement speech that was with an adequate pronunciation, but not in terms of tonality or vowel length, and variation of the use of dental and nondental d and t sounds. But enjoyable and with perfect grammar and sentence structure.
Is it really that hard for native English speakers to at least try to put an authentic sounding accent on while speaking Latin, or any other Romance language for that matter? This is the way Latin should sound, not like those Harvard Commencement speeches! Isn't it ironic how Harvard, an Ivy League school has students that can't distinguish tonal sound from a foreign language?
Vidi pelliculas L. Miragliae et mihi videtur eum pulchrissime linguam latinam loquetur. Sua pronuntiatio italica est et ego quaero: nonne possumus nos Hispani hispanice loqui et non Erasmi modo? Mihi placet italica pronuntiatio sed censeo omnes latine loquentes interretiae Erasmi modo utentur...
lingua hispaniola si loqueris ergo et lingua latina valde bene utaberis. Lingua nostra hispaniola fere est latinam originalem propiora quam alteras, fortasse italica excepta (siquidem non a germanicis vocibus acceptis excludita). Anglicus locutus sit latinam utetque eius pronuntiatio nimis erret. Hispaniola lingua propinquora est latinam quam alteri.
More like Spanish, Ipena, because his g was "eroding" like in the Spanish word "leyenda", from the earlier word "legenda", probably. Some of his vowel lengths are grammatically wrong, so, like vulgar latin, but too classical pronunciation with the [w]s. He has this Spansih accent, and obviously uses the language very well. But he said "es" instead of est. By the way, Spanish is better for pronouncing classical consonant clusters like gn and ng and ct and so on. Rated FIVE.

he said [hck] instead of [ho:k]. I think he's italian by his pronunciation, but I'm not sure.
