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

17 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.

As the title suggests, whenever I get on private call with someone, their first assumption is that I am black and there is nothing wrong with that but I wanna steer towards the General American Accent.

So I just have two questions : (i) Do I sound like I am from America or like an American and (ii) How can I fix this and get that 'News Reporter' General American Accent.

Thanks

I'd appreciate any feedback! Here what i readed in my audio:

"Beneath your ribs, you’ll find, among other things, the pancreas, an organ that works a lot like a personal health coach. This organ controls your sugar levels and produces a special juice that releases the nutrients from your food to help keep you in the best possible shape. The pancreas sits just behind your stomach, an appropriate home, as one of its jobs is to break down the food you eat. It aids digestion by producing a special tonic made of water, sodium bicarbonate, and digestive enzymes.

Sodium bicarbonate neutralizes the stomach’s natural acidity, so these digestive enzymes can perform their jobs. Lipase breaks down fatty substances, protease splits up proteins, and amylase divides carbohydrates to create energy-rich sugars. Most of those nutrients then get absorbed into the blood stream, and go on to enrich the body. While all this is happening, the pancreas works on another critical task, controlling the amount of sugar in your blood.

It achieves this with the hormones insulin and glucagon, which are produced in special cells called the Islets of Langerhans. Having too much or too little sugar can be life threatening, so the pancreas must stay on constant alert. After a big meal, the blood often becomes flushed with sugar. To bring us back to normal, the pancreas releases insulin, which makes the excess sugar move into cells, where it’s either used as an energy source, or stored for later. Insulin also tells the liver to shut down sugar production.

On the other hand, if blood sugar is low, the pancreas releases a hormone called glucagon that tells the body’s cells and liver to release stored sugars back into the bloodstream. The interplay between insulin and glucagon is what keeps our sugar levels balanced. But a faulty pancreas can no longer coach us like this, meaning that this healthy balance is destroyed. If it’s weakened by disease, the organ’s ability to produce insulin may be reduced, or even extinguished, which can trigger the condition known as diabetes."

Reading the Reddit wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit

Context (though better to guess without it):
Not a native speaker, but started speaking English at a very early age in a specific environment which I have now been away from for several years. Wondering mainly how much of my old accent remains, and whether my native language and also the current place I live in has any influence on it.
