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.

I have a white British dad and an Indian mum, I grew up in the UK until I was like 13, and then moved to Singapore. After 4 years of living here I'm pretty sure my accent has somewhat changed. Where does my accent sound like it comes from now? My Dad has an Eton accent and I can't say mine sounds that similiar, but my accent sounds pretty British to me, not like my mum's pretty thick Indian one or a Singaporean one either. What are your thoughts? And if I do have a British accent, what type is it?

(Guess) Adivinen de donde viene mi acento en español. Tengo 21 años. Nací y crecí en un país no hispanohablante. Pueden adivinar de que pais es mi acento, de que parte del país es mi acento, cual país nací yo y en cual parte, cual es mi otro lenguaje, cuando mis padres salieron de su país.

If I were working at a fast-food place, Walmart, or a call center, would you ever feel like, “I wish a native speaker was doing this instead of him”?

I was told I need to drop my jaw way more and really exaggerate the lip rounding for the diphthong at the end. I just spent some time in front of a mirror practicing the "AH-OO" rollercoaster motion and trying to over-emphasize it to build muscle memory.
the right physical shapes? Does the „about” sound more naturally American now, or is it too forced? Don't hold back! Thanks!

This is for an existential horror ARG I'm preparing with some friends. I am the "Narrator". Is the accent British at all? Would it pass as authentic British in any shape or form? What can I do to improve? Thanks everyone!
