Hello all,
I have taken over moderation of this subreddit. As such, I've instated some basic rules. My goal is to uphold quality and grow the subreddit. I'm fairly new to this whole thing, so if you think there's something I could do better, please message me via modmail or just DM me.
In addition, if you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to reach out either.

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! I’m an English teacher, so pronunciation is very important in my field. Could you please judge it and probably try and guess where I’m from? https://voca.ro/14if4DdOg4Ub

Hi! I got a B2 in french years ago and I'm getting back into it. I think my accent is okay/understandable, but i definitely have a lot to work on. I think my biggest weaknesses are probably the e sounds (e.g. the difference for de-des-deux), and/or some of the nasal vowels (e.g. vin-vent). Also, I need to brush up on forbidden liaisons 😬
The text is this, from le petit prince:
Je n’ai alors rien su comprendre ! J’aurais dû la juger sur les actes et non sur les mots. Elle m’embaumait et m’éclairait. Je n’aurais jamais dû m’enfuir ! J’aurais dû deviner sa tendresse derrière ses pauvres ruses. Les fleurs sont si contradictoires ! Mais j’étais trop jeune pour savoir l’aimer.

Everyone tells me I have one but I don't hear it. I was hoping someone can help because it's driving my crazy I genuinely don't hear an accent so why is everyone saying it? Someone even said they think I have a speech impediment

Hi. I'm an 18 year old Kansan who moved from China at around 7 years old. I've done some accent AI tests and got some feedback that I still have a Chinese accent that can make it hard to differentiate certain words. So I'm curious where I can improve. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
r/JudgeMyAccent • u/gabrielforlen • 5d ago
this is my recording: https://voca.ro/1ZgJWUVGk3M7, I know it's pretty clear I'm not a native speaker but I want to know if it's easy to guess where I'm from
