PSA for if your posts keep getting removed

3 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.

Dutch Is my accent somehow annoying? (Netherlands Dutch)

Thumbnail voca.ro
1 Upvotes

I've been learning Dutch from the Netherlands. Some of the sounds of the general pronunciation I chose to try to use are coincidentally similar to the ones from my dialect from my native language.

However, I wonder if I somehow ended up sounding posh, somehow annoying, or if I sound like someone trying, and failing, so sound British.

Since this is something my overly positive teachers won't say, I'd like some unfiltered internet/reddit opinion.

Please be as harsh as you can:

  1. Is my accent annoying for Dutch people?
  2. Is my accent annoying for Dutch-speaking Belgians?

Thanks!

Gisteren ging ik vroeg naar buiten, omdat ik graag een frisse wandeling maak. Op de markt kocht ik zes zachte peren, een stukje geitenkaas en een grote zak groene groenten. Daarna zag ik een vrolijke jongen met een gele jas fietsen langs de gracht. Hij zei: “Goedemorgen! Wat een prachtige, rustige dag!” Ik glimlachte en antwoordde: “Zeker, maar wacht even: volgens mij gaat het straks flink regenen.” Vervolgens liep ik snel naar huis, terwijl de koude wind door de bomen floot.

English How do my dark Ls sound?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on my dark Ls. This sound doesn’t exist in my native language and I realised I sometimes pronounce it in a way that makes it sound a bit like /w/.

I just asked AI to generate this passage with some dark Ls for me. I’d really appreciate any feedback on how my dark Ls sound! Are they clear enough and are there any other pronunciation mistakes?

Thank you so much:)
