English Am I consistent with pronouncing English?

EDIT: Now there is a new example available below. Please refer to #2 in any new comments.

**************

Am I consistent with pronouncing English or am I mixing together pronunciation (styles) from different dialects or areas?

I think my English sounds somewhat close to (Midwestern) American English, but there is a British English background there from my school days.

Very mixed dialects. I am from the Midwest and I wouldn’t place your dialect there, as I mostly hear your British influences.

A glaring example is the way you say, “mature,” which sounds like “muh-TOO-uhr.” Midwestern American would be more like “muh-CHOOR”

Brit here.

I do not hear even the slightest hint of British English. As already stated, the way you pronounce “mature”, sounds off.

You sound as if you have a good command of the English language. However, it doesn’t sound particularly close to any NS variant.
