Very clear and easy to understand. Some words sounded more British in pronunciation, others sounded more American. I can't place where you are from - I'd guess Europe somewhere but I'm not sure. I don't think you need to worry about trying to change your accent or pronunciation at all because it's clear enough.

I would guess your native language is either Spanish or Italian. Overall you sound fluent or near-fluent, but yes you do have an accent. I don't notice anything particularly British or American. Unless it's something you're really passionate about, I'd suggest just accepting your accent. As long as you speak clearly, a lot of native English speakers tend to like foreign accents.

Thanks for sharing your snippet! So, my primary guess is that you are from the Philippines. I have others but I will go with that. Personally, I don't hear any particularly British or American inflection in the way you speak.
