Rate my General American accent, what do I have to improve?

Well... As the title suggests, I want you to rate my General American accent and tell me what I have to improve. Emotion: smile

The recording sounds like an American speaking, so it's a perfect American accent, if you're a non-native English speaker. However, I can't understand some of the things you're saying because you're speaking so fast - if you're going to speak that fast, everything has to be said very clearly.

You sound like an American to me. I can't fault your accent.

I agree, I think you need to slow down.

You do not only sound like an American but also have an awesome voice.

Really good!

Just to nitpick: We tend not to pronounce the "T" in often, unless for emphasis. "Recurring" also got slurred.
Neither of those things would be out of the question for a native speaker.

I have no problem with the speed, that's probably how fast I talk.
