I think Thenumi’s pronunciation and intonation are very good. This is just my personal impression, but sometimes I find certain Southeast Asian English accents a bit unusual — for example, in the word “speak,” the vowel can sound overly emphasized, or the “e” can sound more like an “A” Thenumi has none of those features, and her English sounds completely natural to me.
