A Year of Accent Progress

A year ago, I uploaded a recording where I practiced my accent and shared some of the challenges I was working through. Since then, I've been focusing on improving my clarity and pronunciation. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to give a speech, which was a significant milestone for me. Here are some parts from that speech in a recording, where you can hear how my voice, accent, and pronunciation have evolved. I should mention that I didn't focus on pronouncing everything to sound as native as possible (not that I could. I'm very well aware of still having a strong accent), instead, I aimed to be as natural as possible.
