I can spot this guy's accent in literally two seconds, he's obviously Swedish:

Here's how I sound (not the robot lady, not the Irish lady, the guy after the intro jingle):

How similar do we sound? Can my accent be placed?

I'm not looking for praise or criticism or anything, there's nothing wrong with a detectable accent as long as people understand each other. I am however interested in accents and how they work, and I'm a very familiar specimen to me, while at the same time it's difficult for me to listen to myself objectively.

I do have internalized accent shame and accent pride, but I try to counteract it because I think it shouldn't have a place.
