/r/JudgeMyAccent
Upload a sound file of you talking in a language you're learning and post it in this subreddit. Native speakers of this particular language will tell you how to improve your accent.
Ever wondered how you sound speaking your second, third or fourth language? Is it difficult to understand you when you talk, or have you achieved such a high level of proficiency that you almost sound like a native?
In r/JudgeMyAccent, you can get an answer to all those questions. Here is what you need to do:
Visit a sound sharing website and record yourself speaking your language of choice. The most popular service is Vocaroo.
Post a link to your recording to this subreddit.
You can either include the language in the title of the post or add a flair yourself.

I’ve been told I sound like I’m from certain English speaking countries.
Basically, I don’t really know what accent I have. People tend to either say I sound South African, Australian, sometimes even English. Is this true, and why is that so?
I also want to sound more easy to understand. Is there anything I need to improve on.

Judge my Spanish accent
I’m reading the sentences listed here: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/sentences-written-with-Spanish-conventions_tbl1_228936245
In the beginning of my Spanish journey, I used resources focused on European Spanish. I’m mostly using Latin American resources now (predominantly Mexican and Colombian) and most of the content I consume is from those two countries as well. I’m aiming for a “neutral” Latin American accent.
For context: My native language is Danish.
¡Gracias!

do I have a good accent?
Hello everybody, I'm a non-native speaker who has been working at having an American accent. Therefore, could somebody listen my voice recording and give some feedback or point out some sounds that I need to practice more in order to sound like an American? Every comment is highly appreciated.

Do I [29M] sound like a middle age woman?
When I talk on the phone people think I'm a middle age woman and start calling me Ma'am. It happens quite often, like 50-60% of the time. It makes me curious. Do I sound gay, straight, or do I have an accent? I’d love to hear your thoughts: https://voca.ro/1dXuLrR6hXhi

Spanish accent help
Hi everyone, just looking for a bit of critiques on my Spanish accent. I still have lots to learn with the language, but accent is important to me, and at this point I can’t identify exactly what I need to fix or what problems remain from English.

Review my accent - how far am I from sounding native to you?
Hey everyone, so I posted here yesterday but didn't get any comment. So I thought I'd give it another try at a different time to hopefully get some feedback. Any feedback would be appreciated! Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.
Paragraph that I read out: Today, we begin with a story that captures the blend of joy and frustration so many of us feel in today’s complex world—how one group of artists are rethinking what it means to celebrate the holidays without the pressures of perfection.

Looking for pronunciation feedback/tips to sound more native (American accent)
In 1998, after having been swept up into an improbable romance, I was then swept up into the eye of a political, legal and media maelstrom like we had never seen before. Remember, just a few years earlier, news was consumed from just three places: reading a newspaper or magazine, listening to the radio, or watching television. That was it. But that wasn’t my fate.
Instead, this scandal was brought to you by the digital revolution. That meant we could access all the information we wanted, when we wanted it, anytime, anywhere, and when the story broke in January 1998, it broke online. It was the first time the traditional news was usurped by the Internet for a major news story, a click that reverberated around the world.

Can you describe me from my accent?
Sorry if I have a stutter, I have anxiety.
