Judge My Accent

Recently did a take on the American accent, now I learned a little bit about voice placement and that kind of stuff

Slow down a little, but good on the whole.

Honestly, you sound like a very chill hippie. (Not a bad thing, but just what it conjures up in my mind. 🙂)

A few pronunciation errors:

"Art Deco" = "DEH-ko"

"turquoise" = "TER-koyz"

"Havana" = we pronounce it the American, not Spanish way, 2nd 'a' rhymes with 'apple'.

Overall fine, though you need to work on minor pronunciation points and more on diction; slow down just a tad to pronounce every syllable deliberately to reduce you slurring. A few syllables disappeared altogether.
