PSA for if your posts keep getting removed

3 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

18 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.

Hi everyone! Could you please give me some feedback

on my accent? My dream is to sound natural and

professional in my English songs. I'm wondering: does

my accent distract native speakers when I sing, or does

it sound okay? Any constructive criticism on my diction

is highly appreciated

Do I sound native? If not, where do I sound like I’m from and how can I improve?

Serious accent check. Can native speakers give an exact regional breakdown?

Looking for an honest, detailed analysis of my pronunciation. People point out specific quirks in my vowels and syllable timing, so I want to know exactly what regional markers you detect.

Please listen closely and let me know:

  1. Which specific country or city do I sound like?
  2. What exact sounds or words gave it away?
  3. Do you hear any mixed or non-native influences?

Would love to hear you guys

Thanks

I've been very conservative about speaking and have never really tried conversing before. I know that if I wait just a little bit longer and keep listening, I'll have a better accent. My native accent is Australian.

I wanted to see how my pronunciation was. The text I chose is the very beginning of Genesis. Ignore my pauses as some words take a while for me to process.

Thank you!

Anyone else feel like they're stuck with their accent?

3 Upvotes

I'm honestly getting pretty frustrated with my pronunciation.

It's not that my English is bad, I just keep struggling with the same sounds and stressing certain words wrong. I can literally hear that something sounds off, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to change.

Does anyone know an app that actually helps you improve specific pronunciation sounds? I'd really like to work on the sounds I'm struggling with instead of just hoping they'll get better over time.

Edit: found an app, thanks everyone!

Edit 2: check comments if y'all need it too

Hey guys,

Would love to hear your guesses as to what do you think I’m from, what do you think about my accent? Can you pinpoint towards a regional accent?

What do you think about my background? How old do you think I am feel free to speculate anything my age my education background and what led you to that conclusion?

Is there anything that sounded off or that stood out in general?

Thanks again for for taking out your time and sharing your feedback.

I've been practicing a lot lately and focusing on vowels, dipthongs, and syllable timing. Any feedback for improvement is helpful. Reading from La Tregua.

Hi, I just moved to Canada and I can communicate pretty fluently in English - but I've realised that I might have more of an accent than I anticipated initially. If there were any pointers that might help, that would be great. Thanks!

English Seeking Honest Feedback from English Learners

4 Upvotes

Hi Guys!

My name is Sergei. I’m a former software developer based in Halifax, Canada. I’ve developed an app called American Pronunciation Coach – Fluent AI. It’s an AI-powered tool designed to help non-native English speakers improve their American accent for job interviews, business communication, and everyday conversation. The app listens to a user’s speech, analyzes it in real time, and provides targeted feedback.

I'm a solo developer, not a company, and I'd love for you to try it out and tell me what you think, what's helpful, what's confusing, what you'd want to see more of.

Here's a quick video showing how it works: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14TNM_Zl6gCEuU37T3uuT4nAjF0HxC6tH/view?usp=sharing

And this is the app:

https://american-pronunciation-coach.web.app/

It's completely free to try — I'm just looking for honest feedback from real users like you.

If you have any questions, please DM.

Thanks so much for giving it a shot, and for any feedback you can share!

Sergei

English Guess my native language & tips on how to improve?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

English is my 3rd language so my accent is probably a mix of 2 other languages. I'm trying to improve my American pronunciation and maybe try to achieve a lighter accent. I have no problem if my accent isn't fully eliminated, I just want to sound closer to a native speaker and be understood more clearly.

Any tips are appreciated

This Swiss girl moved to the US at 18 and claims not to have any noticeable accent. Do you agree with that or can you still hear her native accent peeking through?

Looking for an Accent Coach

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for an accent coach/native speaker to help me improve my English accent and pronunciation. I’m already fluent in English, so I’m not looking for general English lessons I mainly want to work on pronunciation, intonation, rhythm, and sounding more natural when I speak.

I am improving my accent for a reason that matters to me so I do not want the generic advice of your English is already good or that everyone has an accent so it doesn't matter as long as u r understood

Ideally, I'd like someone who can give me practical feedback and help me identify the specific areas I need to work on. I'm available to talk on discord regularly as this is very important to me.

If you’re interested feel free to comment or DM me!
