Based on me, following need to be noted in your reading:
1. "Small", you read it as "Smole", ie, the mirrored /c/ sound should be used, not /ou/ sound.
2. the American /R/ sound. You read them in more British accent than American accent, like the sound in "course", "more" and "arm".
3. "inside" - you seem reading this word as /insed/, it should be /insaid/;
4. "thrifty" - not clear. maybe a one-time error.
5. "always" - the /l/ sound is missing, or not pronouced clearly;
6. "crowd" - the vowl should be /au/;
7. "special" - the first vowel should be /e/, not /ai/.
