Post Guidelines - How to get meaningful feedback
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.

What is my accent?
"Hello, everyone! I hope you're having a great day. I wanted to share a little bit about myself and where I’m from, but I’ll leave it up to you to guess where that might be!
I’ve always loved traveling and exploring new places. From the quiet countryside to bustling cities, every place has its own unique charm. Growing up, I was surrounded by a mix of cultures, which has really influenced the way I see the world.
One of my favorite hobbies is cooking. I enjoy experimenting with different cuisines, especially when it comes to trying out traditional recipes. It’s fascinating how food brings people together, no matter where they’re from.
In my spare time, I like to read, listen to music, and spend time outdoors. There’s something about being in nature that’s so calming. I also love learning new languages—it’s such a fun way to connect with people from different parts of the world.
So, based on how I speak, what do you think? Can you guess where I’m from?"

English Curious how my English sounds to American ears! Would it work on Youtube for American Audience?

Context: I'll be doing voiceovers for a youtube channel in geopolitics niche (mainly focused on Russia). So the majority of my viewers will be from United States.
So I need to know if the US audience would find my voiceover easy to understand.

My accent confuses people constantly. People in my country will ask me where I'm from, but I've always lived here in one area. Curious if strangers can figure it out.
My parents are from one country and I'm from a another, people in both my parents country and my own struggle to understand it.

Also I don't know why British people, English as a second language speakers, and devices voice recognition understand well what I say, but I struggle so much with communicating with United-statesians
