   Them: "Could you record this session?"
   Me: "Sure!"

   Me, 1 h later, converting and listening to the session: "Aaaaugh my Swedish accent!!!"
   The recording: "... so this catalog is defined by the user support team in eash location ..."

   I haven't listened to myself speak for years, I forgot how much it can hurt. 😅

     The recording is only my microphone and screen. Half of the recording is silence and nothing happening on the screen, because someone else on the call is talking and I'm listening.

     I'm using VLC to convert the video. Is there a way within VLC to skip silent parts when converting? I cannot download arbitrary software on this machine, VLC is what I have.

     @clacke with VLC alone? not really. you CAN cut them out, technically, but you'd end up with a new file for each cut that you'd have to put together in an editor that, you guessed it, also can do the cutting.

     @clacke I've barely noticed your accent when I've heard your HPR shows.

     @lnxw37j1 I probably notice it more than I should. 😅

     I think though for most non-native speakers, my accent is easier to understand than many native accents, so I keep that in mind when criticizing myself.

     In terms of accent privilege and social status and how that affects your career, I work in a company full of French English, Cantonese English and Indian English, and in that context my accent puts me close to full colonizer status.
