    Please help me to estimate my accent

    Hey, guys, could you please help me out. I want to know, what you think about my accent. It's impossible to estimate it by myself :<

    Here's me playing and singing Breaking Benjamin - So Cold, check it out:

    Clean your guitar it's filthy! :P

    Accent is fine, some of the 'harder' words are always tough, I have a slovenian friend who struggles with 'defenceless' and other such words

    What a problem can possibly occure with defenceless? This word seem to be pretty simple as I see it

    Those stains on my guitar actually appeared when I cleaned it with wet rag, irony

    A true Russian accent cannot be fully scrutinized until he asks where the nuclear wessels are.

    I moved to the US when I was 7, but I can still speak the language. (My Parents make me speak Russian with them.)

    Also, nice guitar playing... I am learning to play a Classical Nylon Guitar. (Mostly Baroque music though)
    May be you and you guys could recommend me something? I feel a little jealous, I like really want to speak as clear as possible, but well may be I have not enough (minerals) <_crossed out. practice.

    Yeah what can I say, I love music more than women : O I even played a little of WoW's soundtrack.

    As for the language... practice... I still have a very slight accent, and I've lived in the US for the majority of my life.

    Unfortunately, where you were born, and the language you were exposed to as a baby, is the accent you will have for the rest of your life:

    It'd be much easier to judge your accent if you were talking and not singing.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    Accents are hard to determine in singing. Listening to some of the Beatles songs, they could have been American.
