Somehow your accent sounds more neutral to me than theunbrainwashed's.

My accent is heavily influenced by the Canary Islands. How they speak in central Spain is the Spanish equivalent to London area English

Probably lol. 99% of people can't tell the difference when I'm speaking. Extremely few can. I say my accent is 99% American, not 100% like yours
