"Ladies" sounds off now, kind of Aussie-ish. |
Why am I not surprised?

"and gentlemen" sounds fine.
"Failed" is better but still off a bit. Not sure how to improve it. |
Is it the "l"? This sound does not exist in Brazilian Portuguese, so I probably exaggerated a bit (I tend to say "fey-ode").

"we are" is getting there. |
Yay!

Second syllable in "general" is a dead giveaway because it's much too long. When most GA speakers say the word, it's basically just "jenn-rull." The "A" in "American" may be slightly too long as well. |
Makes sense. I wonder if I do the same when I speak naturally...
Thanks for the feedback, I really need to practise my American English
