Do I sound native?

Do I sound like a native speaker of English? If so, where does it sound like I'm from? (be specific)

Here is my recording:

It's hard to tell, because of the singing (rather than plain speaking).

Yes, but I want to know what I sound like while singing.

It sounds like singing, not speaking.

A singing kind of accent.

So, you have absolutely no idea where I'm from? So, I am completely accentless?

On a scale from 1-10 how understandable is it?

Voice is used in a very different way in singing, especially in that kind of “opera” singing. Also, your voice wasn't very clear. So it's impossible to say anything about your accent without clearer (and spoken) recordings.

Well, I'm English and you sound 100% native to me. Are you native?

Very good singing by the way, really nice!

Yes, you do sound native. But I haven't a clue where you're from.

@Caspian, where do you think the singer's from?
