Just listen to other rappers and become accustomed to how they sound.

The objective shouldn't be to remove the elements you are critiqued for, but to make those elements your own to the point they become your strengths.

There are criticisms that require changes, but I feel this is one that will correct itself with time in.

Aye Do. I don't think that can be done the way you would want. However, I do think you could use Auto-Tune to cover it up some, but thst may not be a good look and I'm not 100 percent sure it would work. I agree with Nigma tho honestly. Learn to use it to your advantage. Just have that confidence and that swagger and you should be good.

Use that to help you find your style. Voices fit better into certain styles than others. I would not try to sound like other ppl as rap daemon mentioned. I'd advise against that. Find your own sound that fits your voice.

I feel you flame that is one strong accent. Maybe do something with a country sample, or go completely the opposite direction and work on your English accent. Drop some grime.

I know it's not similar but you ever heard the big krit verse on One Train? Dude got a strong accent but no one can do that verse like he does.

Find your strength with it, create your style (just look at yelawolf) and become dope af

Honestly, you should embrace your accent and just try to say words as clear as possible for others to understand.

Conform to what everyone says and you'll become a pop culture clone wondering how to separate yourself from everyone. The answer is not to conform.

Write a small verse. Practice that verse constantly. Say it over and over till you're so comfortable spitting it it just rolls off your tongue. Tweek it, say it with full aggression, or less, change your tone, switch up the dialect and speed, work with your accent, but use the same verse. Spit it out loud to yourself till your not tripping over the words or second guessing yourself. The more you get familiar and confident, in your words the more your aggression or presence should surface on their own... Record and critique it, and do it all over again. Let it set the standard for future verses. Just practice until it becomes second nature.

Here's an idea, write the verse, record it and post it. I'll give it feedback, spit that shit morning noon and night. (change what YOU don't like) then post the same verse about 2 weeks from then and I'll feed it again. see if you've developed..... if no improvement, try a different angle. Just an idea. Could be interesting.
