How thick is my accent?

Hi everyone, I'm just curious what do you guys think of my accent. Am I easy to understand and if you were to guess where I'm from, what country would you pick? To demonstrate, I'm reading few lines from Napoleon Hill's book. I really need some criticism Emotion: smile

Native speaker from Sydney, Australia. It sounds very Californian, but a bit laboured. I don't know if you were just trying to speak clearly for the recording or this is your normal speed. The accent is good and clear, but unless you're reading for an audience you can pick up the pace a bit. Hope this helps.
