Please, how's my american accent now?

Not bad. Not bad at all. An unaccented vowel is always a schwa (you seem to have that down pretty well). You basically only need to keep fine-tuning your vowels.

Thanks! But, in general, could I be like, confused with a native?

I'm not going to lie to you—not really. But I can say I wouldn't guess Brazil right away; you sound Belgian to me at first. You seem to have eliminated the nasal thing. There is a trace of style left in the vowels is all. Let your mouth get lazier, and we'll see.

Pretty good!

Some of your emphasis (accent) is slightly off.

Like they said, vowels can be difficult. Most noticeable is the "short I": lived, it. I can detect a very slight tendency for it to flow into the "long E".

Again, do you think it's possible to me to pretend to be a native, or, to be confused to one?

Thanks for these many information!
I'll try to get better and then I post more videos.
By the way, I know there's many native accents in english (autralian, british, american). If an american is talking to me and a british person, which accent would be easier to understand?
Thanks!

There are many accents within US and UK English. I listened to a Scotsman for five full minutes one time and didn't get a single word.

You were trying for California, and that is quite neutral.

The easiest to understand is the accent you spend the most time listening to.My European relatives have trouble understanding my American accent, they are far more accustomed to British accents.That said, I think most people are more exposed to American accents through Hollywood.

Well, there's more brazilians with a good accent.
