    Default Can you identify my accent in English?

    I'm not English native speaker, yet I want to know about your opinions of my accent.
    Later, I'm gonna delete my voice.
    On top of that, try to classify my voice, whether it's soprano, alto, blah blah blah.
    Just don't compare me to anybody else, but me.

    Your accent is nice. Distinctly Eastern European but I wouldn't know if it's distinctly Polish.

    Any other ideas about my accent? Jeez, I'm trying to get rid of my original accent for a long time.

    I like this kind of accent, Eastern European sounding to me. Your voice is not real high or real low.

    BTW Poland is in Central Europe like Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary, but I don't mind it being called "Eastern European", since it is a post-communist country and Americans tend to think we are Eastern Europe because of that.
    But that's just a minor digression.

    Let's talk about my accent, only. No off-tops, no politics pleeeeeaaaase!

    I will add, from an American perspective, your accent is strong, but you speak very well.

    I don't want to hear such opinions, when I move to the U.S. or Canada. I feel so small, because of that remark.

    I might be wrong, but I think my accent is a mash-up of Canuck, Brit and some Yankee.

    Your accent is very easy to understand, don't think I missed a word. Not bad at all. I can tell you are not from America or England but it isn't obvious to me that you are Polish. My immigrant grandparents spoke English with a thicker accent.
