First, I should mention I listened to this with American English ears.
I think you need to work on your enunciation, some of your words slurred together. Also, if you compare your sample to the professional sample, he speaks more slowly and there is no echo, as he presumably used professional recording equipment.
Maybe, with a lot of practice and the right equipment, you could improve. But it might be simpler to find someone at a university who could do this as a side-gig for a reasonable fee.
That’s helpful feedback, Mark. I did feel I slurred. Blush. If you know anyone at a uni studying linguistics who could tackle the clicks, send them my way. And grateful thanks for taking the time to engage.
I thought it was a good effort, I think the accent you bring is good, I can’t comment on the clicks as a non native speaker but I was aware of them. I sometimes struggled to grasp some of the annunciation however mostly it was clear to me and I loved to hear your voice (as did Mick) x
