lookit me go making two threads in this part of the forum oh ya settin some records woot woot *high fives self and slam dunks basketball*

Ayo everyone, it's your lovable Seija-tachi again. I'm back with some more questions and feedback regarding the way I recorded my Japanese "r" sounds for my new UTAU Ami Tomodachi. I did my best, but I'm still not sure if I'm pronouncing them correctly. Here is a small sample of what it sounds like:

soundcloud.com/dubsteppingbear/r-sound-test-utau-ami-tomodachi

(here's an extra link just in case!)

If anyone could tell me whether or not it sounds right, and/or how to fix it/link tutorials on how to pronounce "r" sounds, I'd be very grateful!!

Ah, it works now! ><

She's got an overseas accent for sure. :3
The way for English speakers to pronounce the Japanese 'r' sound, is kinda like mixing r, d, l, & n together, saying all of these at once. :3

Eeee this guy explains it better than I do:

In my case, I'm mixing those sounds together. xD
Ah, also, I'm Icelandic, so I'm just automatically thinking of the way we pronounce these things. °w°' It might be (okay, IS definitely) different for English speakers. :3
