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!

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.

“The accent oracle” got it right albeit not in the correct order of significance, so bonus points if you can get the order right :)

Would you be able to guess where I'm from or what my native language is? I really have no idea how my accent sounds to native speakers, so I'm really curious to know. I'm also open to any corrections for this clip in case I said anything wrong in particular. I love feedback!
r/JudgeMyAccent • u/MakeUpDerpy • 14h ago
I’m not a native speaker but I do live in a Spanish speaking country and use the language daily. I’m curious if you can tell where I live and whether my accent is decent or terrible

Yeah guys, I know a majority of you will think: ‘Why do you wanna sound like a native???’, ‘Focus on your English fluency’ and etc. I got that all the time. But the point is that I really love playing with accents. So just help me improve okay? Thank you for your cooperation

please feel free to be as honest as you like, you can also try to guess where I'm from if you'd like an extra challenge - no one ever gets it right on the first try :)

I made a similar post in this subreddit a year ago, and I’m hoping my accent improved since then.
I was born and raised in South Korea, and my parents don’t speak English.
I first picked up English when I was 3~4 years old from a Filipina lady. My first exposure to American English was when I was six in Kindergarten. Afterwards, I went to an American-style international school since 3rd grade, and came to America last year for college.
I probably had a Filipino accent when I was little, but there’s no way to know for sure. I definitely had a Korean accent in high school tho.
Here’s my accent two and a half years ago in 11th grade.
As a side question, if you assumed I grew up in North America, where would you think I was from?
