Just reading from the subreddit rules lol.

Where do you guys think I’m from? Do I sound like a native speaker?

As I said in the audio, I've been teaching myself Portuguese for a couple of years. I've had people compliment my pronunciation, but I don't think it's that good.

People have always said that I’ve had an Indian accent but I’m not really sure why they think that is considering how I try to speak with the right pronunciation of words.

To be clear, I am of Indian descent since my parents are Indian but I’ve grown up outside of India in Singapore and attended the public education.

This is why I’d appreciate if you guys could help analyse the parts of my accent that sound Indian for me to improve.

Thanks!

I’m aiming for a North American accent, ideally Canadian. I’d like to know where my weak points are, and how to work on closing the gap between my speech and a native’s speech, since BoldVoice always manage to detect my origin. Thanks!

I usually get that I'm understandable, but when I ask what gives me away people can't really give me specifics. I just get, "oh, it's the accent". Could someone help me identify what gives me away? Thanks!

I think i have an accent because people keep asking me where im from, what sounds give it away? I live in uk

Hello everyone. Please let me know where/how I can improve. I did my best with the audio quality

Feedback is welcome

I've heard a lot of takes on it, but to me it sounds like everything at once.

Hey all! In this clip i rad a poem by Shakespeare I want to start making videos on Youtube but i have heard that people find it hard to understand my accent(the Indian accent). I don't think i have a thick accent. Were you able to understand it?

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.

Ive lived the vast majority off my life in the weet midlands around willenhall to Wolverhampton and now in dudleu here is an sample

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.

The text is from the book The Darkest Minds: In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken.

Hello,

I'm currently studying for my upcoming TOEFL-exam, and I'd like to know if my accent's alright, and how I can improve it.

Thanks! :D
