Practise your pronunciation with easy words and sentences, includes sound track:)
Ok, taking over from Kiwi's fantastic idea, I have prepared a sound track with easy words and sentences to practise your pronunciation.
Cogumela will be helping to correct 
This exercise is aimed at beginners and intermediate students. However:
Listen to the recording, as many times as possible.
Record yourself as many times as it takes to pronounce it
Only post your best shot.
Please read this how to record yourself and keep the sound track and then post it on your post.

Words and sentences to practise your pronunciation.

En esta película hay muchas estrellas. Es imprescindible verla.

Realizar un trabajo es importante en mi vida.
La explicación no es suficiente, tu pronunciación sigue siendo mala.
Este archipiélago está dotado de plantas salvajes.
NO tengo intención de volver a hablar con Raúl otra vez.

Please be patient, you don't have to be the best, but you do have to do your best, this practice is not for comparing pronunciations but for learning from your own mistakes
Please remember this, I will not choose anybody as "best" answer on this thread, this is a learning thread, I hope you will find it useful to practise.
Gracias, Heidita, para la practica.

Here it is! :D
Archipiélago, imprescindible
the only words that need some practice.
This is an almost perfect example, the intonation is perfect, the rolling of the r is perfect, the whole thing is perfect, what else can I say? 
Bueno, aquí es mío.Gary
A try.
@Jeremías:
Above all, excellent pronunciation. Very impressive!
You sound very fluent.
A couple of words can be improved:
archipiélago (I'd like to hear a clear i)
hamburguesa (more "e")
dotado (your t sounds too soft, this is an unusual thing! )
salvajes (rather than "salv", it's more like sal-ba-jes)
Just a few tips: try to join vowels, it will make a big difference:
Like this:
Unaam-bur gue sa
quea-rre-glar
e-sear-chi-pié-la-go
Finally, your tu in "tu pronunciación" sounds too stressed, I hear kind of:
Tú. Pronunciación sigue siendo mala.
Excellent work!
@Jadey:
Congratulations! You sound a bit quiet, but after some changes on my audio settings, I think the quality of the recording was enough for listening to you. Your voice is very clear, you pronounced all the words very carefully, and your vowels sound in general very sharpened. Your R's are remarkable! Excellent work on arreglar, lugar and archipiélago. Really well done!
The words that need a bit of job are these:
Película: the u sound here is English. It's not “iu” as in “queue”, but “u” like in “soon”
Hamburguesa: Ham, sounds like hem to me, and careful with the syllable “bur”too , it seems to me you're pronouncing schwa here: ?mb? guesa
Dotado: the d sound is too harsh, try to pronounce it softer.
Ahora: Practise trying to join more the bit “ao” (there is no pause at all between these two vowels)
Raúl: It's not bad, but if you could stress the ú more, it would sound better: RaUl, not RAul
Try to make the j sound a bit harder in trabajo, trabajar
On the sentences:
Your “ahora” sounds much, much better here. Your película, hamburguesa and Raúl still have trouble. Pronunciación is more like the first time you pronounced the word (you can say "s" or "th", but there is no "sh" sound)
Really nice job!
@kdrinning:
Very nice and confident voice!!
I have absolutely no trouble understanding you. You have a good rythm, and your stress is brilliant!
These are the words that need some work:
caro: in general, your "r" an your "rr" still need be improved. In both sounds, the tip of your tongue needs to slighly touch your palate (in the same place where you get the L sound, that's exactly the place)
explicación , pronunciación (these endings sound a bit nasal, your sound is more Portuguese than Spanish)
hamburguesa: ( no u here, you are pronouncing güe, listen to Heidi's soundtrack and you'll realise the difference)
escenario (the r soft sound is not perfect, see word "caro")
ahora (there should be no pause between these two vowels: ao, not a o)
On the sentences:
Una hamburguesa es muy cara en España. (Apart from the Güe, remember the "h" in Spanish is silent)
Realizar un trabajo es importante en mi vida. (We need more "E" sound here. I can hear "ia" )
La explicación no es suficiente, tu pronunciación sigue siendo mala. (Güe sound again, no u should be present. Remember: ga, gue, gui, go, gu take the same G sound)
NO tengo intención de volver a hablar con Raúl otra vez. (More B, just as you pronounced in vida)
Well done!!!
After several invites, I have decided to post my attempt, even though I have not fixed what I have been told to fix, namely my "r" 's and "rr" 's. Two things led to this decision. One is the hope that someone can recognize what I am doing wrong with those sounds and explain in an understandable way how to fix it (nothing I have read yet has been any help, including the guide with diagrams of tongues that is frequently linked here). The other is to see what other letters I have regressed on, so that I can work on them again. Thank you in advance.

Bueno, aquí es mío.Gary
explicación, trabajo, realizar, archipiélago
These words need some work, gary. you say trabajÓ, the stress falls on trabAjo, that was really difficult for chris too
dotado, the d should sound like th in "the".
the bolded letters are mispronounced.
En esta película hay muchas estrellas. Es imprescindible verla.
Tenemos que arreglar el escenario ahora.
La explicación no es suficiente,
Este archipiélago está dotado de plantas salvajes.
Rest, good job, you know you don't have mayor problems with the pronunciation, you have mayor problems with your memory, jeje
