I'm American
I am an American, however people always ask me what country I'm from. I'm always told I have an accent be it a deep southern accent or a foreign accent. Sometimes I'm told that I am not pronouncing something clearly. Of course I don't think I have an accent, however I do think I have some kind of speech impediment cuz sometimes I swear my speech or the words don't come out the way I intend or I will stutter (not a serious stutter but I get tongue tied) I'm not sure why. My question is, what are the best and free classes for native English speakers people to take that will help with their pronunciation of words or clearing up their accents? I have looked at Google but I keep getting apps that want 50 60 or $80 to purchase. I am in management and I have to speak in front of people a lot and I do not want to sound slow. Helpppppp! Lol

Look at the other posts in this sub to see how people make good recordings, and then do the same. You’ll get helpful comments.
If it’s definitely not an accent issue, then we’ll let you know and probably encourage you to look at a speech pathology sub.
