Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could listen to me and let me know their opinion! My pronunciation tends to be a bit American, I haven't eliminated my Persian accent so much though!
Thank you in advance! :)
He Leila,
The rhythm is the first thing that struck my ears (excuse the pun). The syllables sound too even, and I can immediately tell that you're non-native. Native English speech (US, UK, Canada, Australian, NZ, etc) has a different rhythm, and you need to work on that. A different intonation is also needed, of you want to have an English "flow" to the sound of your voice.
Be careful of the pronunciation of certain words, eg. <em>shone</em> sounded like <em>shown</em>.
You don't actually have a specific "accent" - some vowels sounded quite British - but nothing definite enough. Actually, the vowels need the most work, as I heard some long sounds which should be short. Also, more focus on the <em>th</em> sound.
A shorter recording could allow us to be more specific... but that good news is, I could understand you. :)
