Like I said in the audio, I don't think I sound the same all the time. It sometimes depends on who I'm talking too as well. Can you guess my native language? What native English accent do you think has influenced the most the way I talk?

Your Spanish accent is still strong enough that there is no way to tell if you're trying to emulate any particular English-speaking accent.

I had noticed the profile info, but I wasn't judging the accent based on that!

For the OP, here are some pronunciations typical of L1 Spanish speakers:
- "I'm recording this..." sounds like "I'm recorthing this"
- "I'm curious to" sounds like "I'm curioos to"
- "... getting something back" sounds like "getting sonething back"
- "... my accent on pronunciation" sounds like "my accent on pronuciasin"
- "... depending on the situation" sounds like "thepending on the situasin"
- " for example" sounds like "for egsample" (you use "s" instead of "z")
- "recording yourself" sounds like "recorthing yourself".
- "natural conversation" sounds like "natural conversasin"

@Auzune Like teechar, I particularly noticed how you said "-tion" at the end of several words. It should sound like "shuhn" (sorry, I don't do phonetic symbols).
For more help with pronunciation, go to Forvo, choose English from the list of languages, then enter a word into the search box and go through the results. All the words on there have been recorded by native English speakers from all over the world.
