[General] What kind of accent do I have?

[Gladigator]

Hey guys, recently I have been getting a lot of mixed feedback about my English accent so I thought I would ask the UsingEnglish community about their opinion! I uploaded a short recording (below) so let me know what you think!! A little background about myself: I'm Egyptian, but I have been to American schools throughout my life. Fluent in English and Arabic, and studied French for five years. I live in Arizona, btw.

Here's the link!

Welcome to the forum.

Really interesting to hear what native speakers have to say
Your accent sounds to me like that standard flat American accent and had you not disclosed your background, I would probably say that you were raised in a bilingual family. But I have just been in the US for two years and cannot claim to be an expert at this.

Out of my interest, at what age did you move to the US and how many years have you lived here?

P.S. I like to read about this wonderful state of Arizona.

It sounds like non-native AmE to me.

Thanks Alex! I moved to the US when I was 17 and have been here for 8 years now.

Thanks Tdol! Any specific comments about the recording?
