I've recorded my accent and, honestly, I'm about to cry because I don't like it at all. :oops:
I've read the passge without expression and I'm sorry for that. A little bit later I'll record something better.

I know my problem is a "r" sound. "years", "score" didn't sound correctly.

I'll try to improve my pronunciation.
 
Hello, Boris.:-D

I've noticed that you tend to read/speak nasally. Is it perhaps because of the influence from your mother tongue?
It sounds like Brazilian Portuguese to me, sometimes, because of the nasalization.
I'd like to suggest that you read/speak a bit more slowly.

:-D

It's because I have a cold. :-D
As I've said, I'm going to make another record, when I feel well.
It sounds strange that I sound like Brazilian, though I know Spanish and a little bit Portuguese so, probably, it influences on it.
