Spanish Clips
Hi,
I am wondering if my Spanish speaking accent in these clips sounds neutral?

Hi Rafael
I'm afraid they don't sound as if a native Spanish speaker was reading the script, in my opinion.
The Advil one: The pronunciation of the letter R at the very beginning (poR) and particularly at 0:08 "Rápido" is not correct.
Same issue with the Special K when the letter R appears and the confusion of the articles "la" and "el" (i.e. "el crujida" "el leche").
Again, I truly think you have an amazing voice and I'm sure your Spanish sounds much better than my English, however, I don't think it sounds native enough.
Best regards,
Oscar
Thank you,
I will keep practicing until hopefully it sounds native. Regarding the confusion of the article "el" and "la" in the Special K spot, I thought the same thing but the reference commercial I took the script from does the same thing.

Isn't that weird?

Anytime, Rafael.
If you pay close attention the articles were not used in the same way. The link you've shared with me actually uses them correctly, however, I can understand the minor differences which can be confusing.
