tips, corrections, pronunciation rules I'm missing?

[ILuvEire]

Watch your Ts! Many of your "-te"s sound like [tʃi] to me. I also noticed you pronounced many of your soft Cs as S, instead of Ch. Double LL is just a long [l] sound, you don't need to pronounce it like Spanish. I'll listen some more later, I only heard a bit of it.

You can't just start reading texts out loud in other languages if you have no idea how those languages are pronounced.

so i'll change the sound of my 't's, 'c's, and 'll' sounds, thanks.

@kingharvest - I used these links for Italian pronunciation:

Then why don't you follow the rules they gave? Your <z> is also wrong, it's [ts] or [dz], you're not geminating the consonants when they're long, and <gli> is not just an l.

Sorry, I'm trying to follow them, I'll practice more though. thanks for the tips as always.

I have re-recorded the Italian reading. I hope this one is better. I went over Italian sounds again and I have no idea why I pronounced my 't's like that. strange. well, i think i have corrected them. please let me know if there are errors.
