Hi, I am not a teacher nor a native English speaker, but to me it sounds good.

Words like "more", "chance" sounds definitely American.

I am not able to recognize your nationality. You might be from Germany or Philippines :)

To me, it sounds like a Russian or German speaker who has learned English in the USA or from American teachers.:)

You say ˈfɑːstə like a BE-speaker

If you were an American you should have say ˈfæstər

And overall your speaking betrays that you're not a native speaker

I suspect his mother-tongue is Spanish.

I agree that German is possible, or Danish or Dutch or Scandinavian.

Hey, I'm the author of this thread, I've just registered.

Not even close :)

I'm Polish and I was once in English-speaking country - I've spent two weeks in Ireland, so you can't even take it into account. All my teachers were Polish and no one spoke American English.

Thanks for your opinions. I'm eager to get to know what else I could improve.

You must have spent very much time watching youtube stuff then :) Your accent certainly isn't typically Polish.
Pozdrawiam rodaka :)
