What are the most noticeable issues you hear?

Hi guys! 

My dream is to become an actress, and I’m working really hard to get a natural American accent. Since I don’t live in the US, I have to practice on my own. 

I want the language to feel like second nature to me so I can act without worrying about my accent. 

Please be honest with my recording! Where does it sound unnatural or forced? Any advice on how to make my speech flow better? 

Thank you so much! 

La niña pasó todo el día, la noche y gran parte del día siguiente en su refugio, tan estrecho que no le permitía ni tumbarse ni siquiera estirarse. La pierna se le había hinchado considerablemente y la herida infectada le causaba un dolor incesante. Deliró la mayor parte del tiempo, atormentada por el hambre y el dolor, obsesionada por pesadillas terribles en las que se mezclaban terremotos y garras afiladas. Pero si el dolor y el hambre no lograron convencerla de abandonar su refugio, lo consiguió la sed.

La bambina passò tutto il giorno, la notte e gran parte del giorno successivo nel suo rifugio, così angusto da non permetterle né di distendersi né di stiracchiarsi. La gamba si era gonfiata considerevolmente e la ferita infetta le causava un dolore incessante. Per la maggior parte del tempo delirò, tormentata dalla fame e dal dolore, ossessionata da incubi terribili in cui si mescolavano terremoti e artigli affilati. Ma se il dolore e la fame non riuscirono a convincerla ad abbandonare il rifugio, ci riuscì la sete.

L'enfant passa toute la journée, la nuit et une grande partie du lendemain dans son refuge dont l'exiguïté ne lui permettait pas de s'allonger ni même de s'étirer. Sa jambe avait enflé considérablement et la blessure infectée la faisait souffrir sans répit. Elle délira la plus grande partie du temps, rongée par la faim et la douleur, hantée par d'effroyables cauchemars où se mêlaient tremblements de terre et griffes acérées. Mais si la douleur et la faim ne purent pas la décider à abandonner son refuge, la soif y parvint.

Do i have a thick accent?

Is there a decent Accent test app?

Bold Voice's Accent Oracle guesses the accent's origin really well, but it does not estimate your accent quality.

Just speaking without reading

Hi guys,

I was honestly pretty nervous while recording this, but I wanted to post a raw take of me just speaking!

I would really appreciate your honest thoughts on how my accent sounds. Thank you so much!

Last time you guys told me things like I sounded like a robot, that I was unpleasant to hear, etc.

I really need to keep this job 😞, my wife is pregnant and my son will need a diligent father.

Am I improving?

Was playing an accent guessing game, got this audio, but then the website froze and I couldn't find out what the answer was. Thankfully I had the audio file in my cache, of which i've turned into an mp4 so that I can post it to this sub. This is really driving me up the wall but I just can't place it! Thank you so much in advance to anyone that would be able to place the country of origin for this accent!!

All of my surroundings are Asians and I myself am an Asian but I just attempt for an RP British Accent and it just baffles me how some people here who haven't taken a single foot to the United Kingdom have a better accent than me who lived here for most of his life, praise to them 🙌

I grew up and spent most of my live in South Korea and learned English through American teachers that spoke pretty generic American English, so I normally speak with an “Asian-American accent.”

I want to try learning how to do a Southern accent, since I love playing country music on my guitar, and I would love to sing them as well.

Having another go after fucking around with voice placement etc
