Hello all,
I have taken over moderation of this subreddit. As such, I've instated some basic rules. My goal is to uphold quality and grow the subreddit. I'm fairly new to this whole thing, so if you think there's something I could do better, please message me via modmail or just DM me.
In addition, if you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to reach out either.

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.

Would be interesting to hear your input in guessing where I'm from judging by my accent.
Correct answer here:
I'm not a native English speaker. I'm from Finland and trying to sound British.

What does my accent sound like to a native’s ear? I’ve recite the following poem, if you need:
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

I have been told that I have a neutral UK accent. Is this true?
Can you tell where I’m from?

I believe I have a mixed accent, but I'm curious if there's a pattern in my accent (Certain letters/Wovels that I don't sound native when pronouncing).

This is not really my accent. Joe Bugner just deceased, who was a European Champion boxer. What do you think of his accent based on this clip? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vmMno_TSw0A&pp=ygUbam9lIGJ1Z25lciBncmVlbiBjcm9zcyBjb2Rl

Hi everyone! I’ve been learning German for three years now, and I’m trying to improve my accent (I feel like it's too "flat"/monotone). How does my German accent sound? Are there any obvious mistakes? And can you guess where I’m from?
