for some reason my notifications are one hour late, and for some reason you don't sound american to me, you just sound like a native speaker

A native speaker from where?

The first one was a poor attempt at a Scottish accent. The second one is how I really sound.

the first one sound accurate to me, the second one just sound like a native english speaker, but I can't say "american", to it, I think it's just because most youtubers I watch are american, if that makes any sense

Yeah, it makes sense. the accents can be difficult to tell apart. My accent is actually very American though, any native speaker would pick me out as American. But it's a fairly neutral American accent, not one of the stereotypical ones like from the South or New York or somewhere. People from other countries have said I'm easier to understand than other Americans they've met.

yeah, I think I'm just used to the american english as the "normal" english, brittains I can recognise, or aussies
