Yeah there's an Asian twang to your accent as some have already pointed out. Not too prominent though imo.

I'm by no means a professional linguist, but your dialect overall is basically "general American" by far. The dialect isn't distinctive enough compared to Southern, Southern Belle, New York or Boston accent. Which is usually noticeable to pick up on when people talk.
Nevertheless, I can agree with others by listening to your voice carefully you have a slight mid-western dialect when you speak; perhaps a distinctive upper-mid-western dialect to be more precise.

We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”

Wow thanx for the insight! I'm highly interested in accents lol. I really appreciate the Irish one in fact.
Btw I have gotten East-Coast/NY/NE on a few separate occasions during my carousels on the internet in the past, even MONTANA lol, but it might have just been a fluke or circumstantial I think.. Thanx for confirming my dialect is probably "General American" overall. And maybe the Midwestern influence is probably due to me haven grown up in the Midwest during the primary years of my life towards adulthood.

Usually Northeastern or Southern accents drops the consonant "R" sound. The is more noticeable in Northeastern dialects with the r dropping. whereas the south has r dropping and "gliding" or "singing" tone when pronouncing words. This "r" dropping is mostly because of British dialects having a strong influence on these areas. Whereas the preservation of r pronunciations are historically influenced by Irish/Scottish dialects that is associated with General American dialect and is highly encouraged due to sounding more "cultured."Wow thanx for the insight!

A good example would be saying the word "butter" for example.
With a southern/northeastern dialect; usually the "r" sound is replaced with an "h" sound. Instead of saying "butter" as "But-er" as in General American; in sounds more like "Bah-AH" the coarse emphasis on -AH for the -er syllable/suffix is especially gruff and unpleasant sounding especially for Northeastern dialects.

Wow thanx that is very insightful! Now I want to study and learn more about linguistics lol. I guess these linguistic characteristics developed from wherever the original European immigrants came from on the European continent who immigrated and settled in the certain US regions right? I've also heard btw something about the Jews as well having influenced the certain accents of the East Coast historically, not really sure if there was any truth to it though, but I would love to be enlightened.
So in mine I have no trace whatsoever of that "h" sound effect in my words?
