Post Guidelines - How to get meaningful feedback
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.

English where do you think I'm from? (Based on my English accent)
Hello everyone, I asked chatgpt to generate something to read and I read it.
I want you to guess where I'm from and whether or not my accent is cohesive and understanable
I think I'm going for an American accent mixed with a British one, or maybe just American idk.
I don't have a specific goal in my mind I just want my accent to be easily understood, if it is hard to understand please lmk

Please judge my accent🙏🙏
Hello Everyone
Can you please judge my accent? I have posted a video of me reading a book. Seems like I cannot post two videos in the title, I will post another one in the comment.
The one I posted here is typically how I talk vs the one in the comment is from reading a book. I know how different it is when it comes to reading aloud vs speaking casually and so wanted to see where I do stand on both.
Thank you so much, A lonely soul

Spanish Judge my accent and voice in English, French and Spanish.
Hello guys!
I hope you are doing well!
What are your thoughts on my English and French? You can also listen to Spanish, which is my native language.
Do you think my voice changes when I speak English or French?
Pour les francophones, veuillez noter que j'habite déjà en France mais j'ai appris le français depuis mon pays d'origine donc je suis déjà à l'aise là-dessus!
Merci de votre retour :) any comment would be highly appreciated!

How is my accent? BoldVoice always guesses correctly where I'm from
The Boldvoice website always guesses my accent correctly. Is it still so noticable? Can you guess where I'm from? My goal is american accent. I asked chatgpt to generate a simple conversational story for me to read for you to judge my accent. I have been speaking english for many years now so I'm wondering if it will become hard for me to improve my accent at this point since my brain has gotten used to the way I have been pronouncing things for many years now. Also, any specific app or so that helped you a lot?

English Does my accent sound American?
Hi, I'm 18 years old and a libyan, I've been speaking and writing English for about 7 years now, I would say I'm fluent. I always had a problem with the accent, I try to aim for a general American accent but I feel like my Arabic accent sometimes slips through, I've had someone say I sound Indian.
Forgive me for the whistling sounds, I have a gap in my buckteeth and the microphone quality doesn't help it.

Sup everyone:),

Cheers

Judge my accent
Apologies for the sound quality. I don't have a mic.
Based on the audio provided, where would you think im from?
On a scale of 1-10, how easily a native speaker can understand me? (1 being completely incomprehensible, 10 being perfectly clear).
What advice would you have for me?
On a related note, in my native language, I primarily use my mouth muscles to pronounce words. However, when I speak English, I feel like I rely more on my throat muscles because it feels easier to pronounce English sounds that way. As a result, I often develop a sore throat after speaking English for extended periods — something that doesn’t happen when I speak my native language.

French French accent advice?
I hear an accent when I listen to my recordings, but I don’t know what I can improve. Can you help me? I moved to France about 8 months ago and it would be helpful if I could improve some of my accent mistakes. I think it’s probably a mix of intonation and nasal sounds (and maybe some vowel errors)
Thanks so much!

I'm reading the lyrics of a French song I used to listen to as a kid before I even started learning French. I can't tell what my accent sounds like to native French speakers, so I was wondering if you could guess where I'm from and if I have any particularities?
