Does my cousin have a difficult voice to understand?

By voice I mean accent. He's given me permission to post a short soundclip of his voice. He's moved abroad and learned English quite later on in life.

Yeah, I think a British Pakistani voice is pretty recognisable but I'm trying to think of someone who'd have a British Jewish voice. Alan Sugar? Or does he just have a generic East End accent?

ESL teacher here! I love his accent, you can hear the different influences in it. The pronunciation is on point. I teach mostly Germans and Eastern Europeans so this is really very well spoken compared to what I'm usually dealing with.

@RickJames, he has a lovely speaking voice and the inflections and pronunciation are easy on the ear. He's obviously grown up speaking English... and as I said above, it is a really fabulous World Service voice.
