Please, I'll be extremely grateful to you if it happens to be possible that you find some time to express your personal opinion concerning my attempt on the accent reduction in the following recording:

And forgive me, that I fell under the deceptive influence of starting a new thread.

You are getting better...At this stage I would focus more on precise pronunciation than on accent reduction. Your pronunciation is ok -- you're not making "errors," but your words are still kind of shortened and spoken too quickly. (I mean, you HAVE slowed down in general, which is great. But also within each word, you should slow down and clearly give time to each syllable.)

For example, the word "corporation."

You kind of jump through the word quickly, so it sounds like "kirp-ration."

An American typically spends a little more time on each syllable:
"corp -- uh -- ray -- shin."

There's nothing wrong with having an accent. It's more important that people can clearly understand you.
