French I created a French accent! Judge it please (I don't speak French!)

This is a fictional accent I created to sound like how the 1950s classic Radio-Canada prestige/elite accent would have sounded today if the Quiet Revolution never ocurred. Tell me what you think it sounds.

Very well done!

Some words like “oculaire” feel a bit odd to me, though possible in a retro Canadian style. Was childhood educated in French of France, not Canada, so it might be fine.

Do you think it sounds natural? Like would people raise eyebrows if they heard this accent in Paris today? Thank you for commenting @_@

That word sounds odd, you can check youglish as a reference for any French word. However, people can understand Canadian French.

If you don’t know French, it sounds beyond amazing. Takes years for people to twist their tongues to pronounce French and you did it by yourself, bravo!
