Well, this came up because I'm recording a set of female VCVs (because my female CVs sound wierd).

You may not ever hear her.
BUT WOW.

So I use rolled rs for Hayao, because in my opinion, they sound sexy on guys.

I can pronounce the Japanese r perfectly fine, however, so I was recording her r sets normally...

Then I got to "rorunranru".

I cannot for the life of me say "nra" properly.
Like, really. It turns into "na" or "n -rolled r-".
Why. OTL

Your turn.

None in special, 'cause Japanese and Spanish pronunciations are almost the same.
I have some troubles recording English, though. It's not my native language and we (Chileans) have a very bad pronunciation comparating with other Spanish-speaking countries XD

Ri, chi, and any of the sh sounds. (Yes, only ri. Not the other r sounds.)

Oh my gosh, me neither! I tried for a while and the best I could do was sort of an "n da". ;___;

Also, on every single voicebank I record ever, the "wa" sound is just SO WEIRD. I have no idea why. XD;;

ru for me always sounds horrible. It's like "DUUUUUUUU!". Also, m's and s's are over-exaggerated in my samples.

I'm going to try and have my consonants softer in Kaen Act III. Maybe it'll sound smoother that way.

I haven't had this problem with recording, because I've yet to attempt VCV's, but I was singing a song one day until the lyrics got to "Goenryo shimasu".

I settled with something like "goenyo" and gave up. OTL

...In japanese/korean-- R after N is pronounced the "L way" EVE

..The "proper" way to say Korean and Japanese R sounds like an L. ...However, when people talk, they get lazy and some people pronounce it as a soft rolled R-thing. (It's still pronounced with the tongue the same way, just 'quicker' basically.)
(For example, Teto's Renzoku Rs = lazy Rs)

LALALALLALALALALALAAAA
/awesomeplz

I have a problem with rwa/rwu. OTL

There's prolly an "easy way" to pronounce it that I'm missing out on.

Isn't rw supposed to be the attempt at the english r? I thought I saw some discussion about that.

I cant get over my extremely canadian weeaboo accent either...

Whenever I see "wo" I wanna pronounce it in Chinese (which I usually do anyways...).
And... my English R's sound funny, orz.

'tsu'.

= =

OH yodeling BLOODY-- ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
OTL I put in effort to try and make this chick sound right and I'm doing it wrong.

Ah, well.

But lol, Syo. Beautious example you used there.

English Rs. I can't seem to do that...

I have problems with R's too orz
Italian has trilled R (or rolled, if you want), so it SHOULD be easy for me, but it's actually not. X_x
It seems I can do a softer R (still trilled, but weak enough to be acceptable) if it's in the middle of the words, but not at the beginning. And at the beginning I roll them like mad Dx So my samples are all too rolled and if I try not to roll it, something weird comes out XD;
And between all the R sounds, 'ru' is the worst. Last time I tried to record it was still like 'RRRRuuu' despite my attempts to say it quick Dx

Need to practice more with it x_x

And I still haven't tried English and VCV <.<
"rorunranru" is indeed a nightmare to say XD *is trying*
