Hello everyone,
Can you guys please judge and guess my accent, like where I'm from, etc? I'm trying to improve it. (Try not to look at my profile; I think it displays my country)
Please be honest, Thanks.

AUDIO FILE: https://voca.ro/1gxU87fdXstc
 
I heard "Thank you" at the end.
 
I can only assume that Tarheel, for some reason, had trouble playing the rest of the audio. I understood every word of it. It was very clear. I had already looked at your profile before I read the post so I can't really give you an unbiased opinion on where I would have thought you were from. I can say, however, that you don't speak with what I would consider (based on the people I know in the UK, at least) to be a Pakistani accent.
 
It's probable that @emsr2d2 's hearing is better than mine. A real conversation might go something like this. (See below.)

Egbert: Something something something.
Sam: I'm sorry, but I didn't understand you. Would you might repeating that?

Often the person will say it exactly the same way the second time, which is not helpful.

I could hear something, but I didn't understand what was being said. I guess I could listen to it again.
I'd appreciate that.

thank you!
 
My guess would have been Singapore based on the "but" ending with a glottal stop rather than a t, but since you've told us you're an Urdu speaker from Pakistan, I have to believe you. Your cadence and your accent are not stereotypically south Asian.
