The narrator of [this YouTube video](https://youtu.be/whgzipi1_0c) has an accent that I can’t place. I’m tempted to think that maybe English isn’t his first language and he retains the accent of his mother tongue (also which I can’t place).

Any ideas?

I looked at the “About” section on Youtube and it said “Denmark”…so my guess is a very good english speaking dane…
