Hi,
Can native or fluent speakers give me some feedback on my third tone?

I’m not native or what I would consider fluent but as a person who listens to a lot of Chinese I would say your 3rd tone is good.
The only issue is in your recording your just saying individual words which is fine but it’s a bit different when your actually saying full sentences which use the whole spectrum of tones.
I say your 3rd tone isn’t bad at all.
加油
Hi putonghualover,
It’s pretty nice. I would say your third tone is almost perfect when you say individual words. The last two or three sentences are also good. I think you got it.
Like Nabeshima120 said, I also suggest you try more sentences. It will lead you to the next step.
Thank you for sharing with us.
Hi Constance,
Thank you so much for your input! It’s such an honor to have a ChinesePod show host to actually listen to my recording!
I understand when you say the third tone, your voice first needs to fall then rise again – so when you say almost perfect, do you think I should fall or rise more than I do now?
Does it sound like I’m from anywhere? Is my foreign accent (外国人的口音) pretty thick?
I will practice more in the future with longer sentences.
Thank you so much!
谢谢!I’ll practice with longer sentences!
