This is all my opinion on top of that so somebody else may find your performance simply breathtaking. I think my advice is good though. Where are you from by the way?
Oh I doubt if anyone thought it breathtaking at any point.
However, I'm not one to lose my sleep over a bit of criticism. It's good and I've noticed a lot of people I know who are good at English tend to over pronounce every word and try to sound perfect all the time rather than just letting the language flow naturally. I try to keep things relaxed but when you're recording lines you also have to make the words distinguishable. Therein lies the problem.
I'm Finnish and I've never lived abroad.
