Hi guys,

A friend of mine forwarded me the link below and ask me what accent it belong, but honestly I couldn't tell.

What do you think?

Thanks

it doesn't sound like Asian.....

Why do you say that? They're OK with some obvious sounds like /l/, but the vowel sounds are strained in some places.

So you think the person who reads the passage is from Japan?

Not necessarily Japan- in fact, probably not, but could be some other Asian country.
