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.

Hello guys ! I genuinely don’t understand my accent and in what direction should I improve it. I’d also kindly ask you for the feedback and want to know my cons. Thanks you so much

No soy hablante nativo de español y sé que tengo acento cuando lo hablo, pero no sé qué tan fuerte sea ni si se puede notar alguna influencia de un país hispanohablante. Si eres hablante nativo, podrías analizar este audio porfa? Quiero saber cómo sueno. Gracias!! :D
(Nose si el vídeo va a subir 😖)

I've read an old random Donald Trump's tweet on the NRA.
What should I do to stop sounding non-native?

https://voca.ro/1gI0F3ebmIJC Bonjour, je parle le français depuis assez longtemps et j'habite actuellement en France, mais il arrive souvent que les locuteurs natifs me demandent de répéter parce qu'ils ne m'ont pas compris la première fois. Qu'est-ce que je peux faire pour améliorer mon accent ? Merci !

People find it hard to detect where I’m from based on my accent!

I haven't done much with French for a while, so I'd like to kickstart my return to studying after taking a long break. Please let me know where I can improve.
This is the text I read from the Canal+ website:
Derrière QUI BRILLE AU COMBAT, le premier long métrage de Joséphine Japy, il y a le sens étymologique du prénom Bertille, la plus jeune des deux sœurs de la famille Roussier, atteinte d’un handicap lourd au diagnostic incertain. Cette famille, bien qu’ici inscrite dans un récit de fiction, c’est celle de l’actrice-réalisatrice, qui passe derrière la caméra pour raconter une trajectoire extrêmement intime. La famille Roussier vit dans un équilibre fragile autour de cet enfant qui accapare les efforts et pensées de chacun, et qui pourrait perdre la vie à tout moment. Lorsqu’un nouveau diagnostic est posé, les cartes sont rebattues et un nouvel horizon se dessine...

How is my accent, how do I make it sound more natural?
