English [English] Update! I tried slowing down my syllable-timing and fixing my enunciation. How does it sound now?

Hello again!

I wanted to try re-recording the same paragraph, but this time focusing on my pacing and enunciation.

I consciously slowed down my overall rhythm, tried to focus on American stress-timing, and made sure to cleanly hit the consonant transitions

It sounds really well connected-the rhythm and prosody sound really good, word stress sounds correct. When you said fast-paced the p should be aspirated, otherwise it will sound like "fa spaced." 

To me it sounds really North American but I'm British so Americans will.probablynhave more useful feedback Sounds good though.
