Interesting. I'm German, and I cannot recognize any sort of German accent in this.

Seconding grandparent's assessment. The speaking style in the video is very similar to Deutsche Welle broadcasts that I used to watch in uni.

Not sure if this style happens organically when native German speakers master English or if it's a deliberate choice like the Transatlantic Accent of early 20th century American actors.

Not OP for me, Mobility at 47 was a hint, but it's not super noticeable. Dunno what they were picking up on.
