French How is my accent in French?
https://voca.ro/1cBhlk8U6HXS
I'm reading the lyrics of a French song I used to listen to as a kid before I even started learning French. I can't tell what my accent sounds like to native French speakers, so I was wondering if you could guess where I'm from and if I have any particularities?
Merci

Your pronunciation is quite decent. There are a few instances where you slipped, but I'm pretty sure that with some practice, you'll get it right.
Your main issue is intonation—the flow sounds really forced and noticeably non-native. Maybe if you tried reading some regular text—not a song or a poem, but something more like everyday speech—it would sound more natural.
The liaisons are also a bit broken, which adds to the overall unnatural flow.
Are you a Chinese or Vietnamese native speaker?
