PSA for if your posts keep getting removed

4 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

19 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.

Moved back to the US (was born here) when I turned 18 and have been here ever since. I’ve attended international schools my whole life so I’m curious to hear which region (if I sound American) I sound like I’m from!

English How does my english sound?

Okay, so I actually have a pretty interesting story to tell you, and I’m curious how natural my English sounds while I’m telling it. I’ve been learning English for a while, and I’ve gotten to the point where I can communicate pretty well, but there’s still something that bothers me: sometimes I feel like I’m speaking English correctly, but I don’t actually sound like someone who grew up speaking it.

So I figured, instead of sitting here wondering about it, why not let an actual native speaker tell me?

And the story I’m about to tell you is actually kind of embarrassing, but it’s also one of those moments I still think about sometimes. It happened pretty randomly, and at the time I had absolutely no idea what I was supposed to do.

So yeah… let me take you back to that day.

English Hi! I'm looking for a completely free app that can listen while I read my own physical English book aloud. The book is not built into the app. I want it to help me with pronunciation and correct me when I read words incorrectly. I use Android. Any recommendations?

Hello everyone! Do you think you could identify my accent or guess which region I might be from? If so, I’d be curious to hear your guesses.

If possible, please also mention where you’re from, just so I have some reference for the guesses.

Thanks!

I'm American

1 Upvotes

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
