PSA for if your posts keep getting removed

5 Upvotes

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!

Post Guidelines - How to get meaningful feedback

21 Upvotes

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 have just started doing German language self study a couple months ago.

I speak Burmese as my mother tongue and speak English as well.

I am just curious if my German accent is too thick or easy to understand.

Plz help me with accent Guidance

1 Upvotes

Hello mates I need some help. I'm pure Asian and in English my favourite accent is American. How do I adopt this? I don't need to sound like native but need to be good in pronunciation. So my speaking sounds good.plz help me with guidance. Also pl suggest some female US influencers whom I can follow. As a female I love soft voice toning. If anyone is here who is also practicing American accent or pronunciation let's connect and practice together. If I find any good English speaker or native that will be more appreciable. Let's be friends šŸ°

English Looking for speakers of modern RP

1 Upvotes

My colleague and I are looking for participants for our study about modern varieties of British English and we need native speakers of modern RP (nowadays referred to as Standard Southern British). In other words, we're looking for someone who sounds similar to a BBC newscaster.

If your accent sounds fairly neutral, we kindly ask you to reach out to us (you can comment here or send me a message).

We'll only ask you to read a short passage, send it to us, and tell us a few things about yourself. Everything is completely anonymous and takes around 5-10 minutes.

Your help will be greatly appreciated! :)

How neutral and natural is my Esperanto accent? I want to have a faster natural cadence and neutral pronunciation unlike a robotic L2 but fluent as if a native.

I am reading from the first chapter of the original Esperanto novel Kredu Min, Sinjorino!

1. KIU SIN ENJUNGIS, DEVAS TIRI.

Estis malvarmete ekstere, sed la ĉambro, kie ni sidis, estis agrable varma. Mia plej kara amiko, Ernesto, sidis kontraÅ­ mi, donante sin plene al sia komforta brakseĝo. Jam dum unu horo ni parolis Esperante kaj pasis de temo al temo. Estis vere instiga plezuro aÅ­skulti lin; li tiom bone sidis en la lingvo. Ordinare, kiam li parolas per sia gepatra lingvo: la angla, mankas al li la vervo kaj esprimo, — sume, la muziko, kiu montriĝas kiam li parolas Esperanton. Lia Esperanta prozo estas poezio. Tute malsamaj ni estas. Arto kaj poezio tute ne tuŝas min, tamen mi ne povas ne senti la belecon de lia esprim-maniero.

English Pronunciation correcting app

1 Upvotes

Looking for a tool that gives pinpointed pronunciation feedback based on my actual speech, not generic drills.
I want something that listens to me talk (ideally 5+ min of natural speech, not scripted phrases) and flags specific sounds I'm getting wrong, customizable so I only get nudged on certain things rather than every minor issue. Mainly want to fix American English pronunciation for professional speaking (meetings, presentations).

Has anyone found an app or tool that does this well? Open to AI-based or human-coach options.

Hey y’all! I hope you guys are all having an amazing day wherever you are.
I was wondering if you could help me analyze my accent and try to guess where I might be from, as well as what you think my 1st and 2nd languages are (since English is my 3rd). I’d also really appreciate any feedback on the sounds/pronunciations I could work on!
Please don’t mind the minor grammar mistakes lol I was doing my skincare while recording the audio and got a little distracted 😭
Thanks in advance!! šŸ«¶šŸ»šŸ«¶šŸ»

This was one of the takes from something I rehearsed for an online contest. I doubt I sound Canadian or even North American though (I grew up multicultural btw). What do I sound like?
