Do I sound native?
I'd also say that you sound native, as far as I can tell (which isn't very far).
Why don't you give us a recording of your normal speech -- that would be the acid test for nativeness.
BTW, post #7 is from an imposter -- I suppose I should be flattered that someone wnts to impersonate me. :)
Well, I'd say she's from England - but she'd hardly post here asking if she sounded native if she were British, so I'd hasard a guess saying maybe Germany, France or the Netherlands.
No accent though.
Its easy to mask your natural accent if you're singing, because you already have the words in your mind, and just need to think about the accent. When you're speaking naturally and try to do it in a different accent, now thats hard because you'll be thinking about the words you are going to speak, and the accent too.
I'm sure we'd all be pleased if you were to divulge your country of origin now :)
Yes, indeed I am native. So, now the real test: can you guess which city I'm from? I'm a guy by the way. I'm a teenager now but my voice hasn't changed very much yet.

How could that be when he's native?
