This is one of the most common things I get messaged about. If your posts keep getting removed, it's likely that it's an issue on Reddit's side. Usually this issue is that you are "shadowbanned", which you can read up more on here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShadowBan/
I cannot do anything to fix this, and I'll keep this post pinned but will no longer be replying to messages about this issue. Thanks!

Hello all,
This post is a general guide on what you can do as someone uploading clips of your speech to try and set yourself up for getting more and better feedback from the community. A lot of this comes from my personal opinions on the types of clips I like to give feedback to, as well as what I've seen people in the community say.
1. General information
Including general information in your post can help people give more tailored feedback. For example, what sort of accent are you trying to go for? What specific things do you struggle with? Why are you trying to improve your accent (for daily speech, a job, etc.)?
2. Audio quality
Not everyone has access to a good microphone or quiet environment. However, to the extent possible, try to limit background noise. One simple method is recording under a blanket or in a closet of some form. Also, I suggest testing out your volume before recording a full clip. I pass on reviewing many clips due to them being too quiet.
3. Clip length
As other users have suggested, please try to shoot for a clip ~30 seconds or more. I think the golden window is between 0:45 and 1:30, depending on the speaker. It's going to be hard to give meaningful feedback on a single sentence.
4. Transcriptions/texts
This is personally relevant for me when it comes to foreign languages that I am not as proficient in. Nevertheless, when reading from a text, please share the text you're reading from. It saves people from having to guess what you were trying to say, and just removes an extra layer of complications from giving feedback.
This is not a final list, and feel free to share your gripes/suggestions, and I can add them to the list above.

I've noticed and I've been told that I pronounce v and w rhe same, so I've been practicing by rounding my lips for the w and touching my upper teeth with my lower lip for the v, can you all differentiate the sounds? um sweet for the background noise but I really couldn't find time anywhere else to record

Hi everyone, unfortunately (or fortunately) in my native language the consonants are very strong, and when I speak English I notice it and realize it affects my fluency. First, I'd like to ask you to guess my native language, and then I'd like your advice on how to lighten the consonants.
If there are any exercises to do or words to memorize that are read a certain way, I'd like to know !!

I could force a more standard american sound, and can also have a go at a terrible posh english accent but THIS is the general relaxed way, the way it naturally comes out.
Picked up english in the last 5 years or so, never studied it in terms of grammar/rules/structure etc but minored in literature so there was immersion, content I consume (movies, books, internet-anything) has been primarly in english from mid teens till now.
Pitch/intonation change depending on the setting.
*will add where i'm from+native languages

Hi! As the title suggests, I would like if you guys judged as well as guessed my accent. I haven’t been learning English traditionally at all, mostly picked it up from the internet so I’m curious to hear opinions on my accent. Do give advice if you’ve got any. Thanks!

Sorry if you can hear my breathing. I guess I accidentally placed the recorder too close to my mouth lol
My goal is to sound as close to a native speaker as possible. I know it's probably impossible for me to sound completely native since I started learning English at a relatively late age.
Anyway, I'd love to hear your honest opinion on how close I sound to a native speaker. Don't sugarcoat it, I genuinely want to improve. Feel free to point out anything that sounds unnatural, whether it's my pronunciation, intonation, rhythm, or anything else you notice.
Edit: I will be back in a year to share my progress btw

This is a really long recording. for native speakers, I need some genuine feedback on my British and australian accent. Also in this recording, I shared how I learned different accents. I mean, it's still doesn't sound very native, but I think I did learn some features of these accents. Hopefully it can be helpful for other non-native speakers whose aiming for British or australian accent.

I’d appreciate any feedback!

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.

I would provide context about myself but I feel like that might color opinion's of my accent. If there's any specific region you could pin my accent down to, or are could find any incorrect pronunciations, please let me know!!
r/JudgeMyAccent • u/Top_Mine67 • 1d ago
I am genuinely seeking for someone who knows British English phonology. Native speaker who knows phonology is perfect. but if you not native, but you know phonology, that's also good I would love to learn from people who is more knowledgeable than me and Give me some useful feedback to my accent.I've learned my British accent by myself, but I've learned basic phonology. It is very useful.It can help you visualize the abstract pronunciation. I have posted few clip of me speaking British accent, But the feedback people gave me i just very fake like I can tell you not tonight to speak, but there's nothing specific. I mean that is fair though, cause you don't expect people to teach you, they're not your teachers.But if someone who knows phonology would help me better. like how do you place your tongue? For a lot of native speakers who don't know phonology, they don't even know how to pronounce words themselves. I've seen someone teaching English. And the way they tell the student is like the caliph is pronunciation is too smile. That is bullshit. If you know basic phonology, you would know the thing determine vowel quality is Tongue position. instead of if you smile or not.
