Voice cuts in and out
Hello, I am having Skype conversations and am struggling to explain a problem in Spanish. In English I would say "your voice is cutting in and out." I got as far as "tu voz está irregular." Is there a more descriptive way to say this?
Many thanks.

That's right: "te oigo entrecortado" is the right expression, when volume goes down or the transmission cuts and certain syllables disappear making the conversation unintelligible.
Informally, many here would say "tu voz va y viene" when its volume is unstable but nothing really disappears.
[I coudn't find a youtube clip of the final sequence of Modern Family's episode Connexion Lost. A perfect example of this]
Se corta es suficiente. Es lo que se dice: No te oigo bien, esto se corta.
Aquí en España, solo decimos "se corta" o yo creo que se ajusta más a lo que pides aunque no conozco la expresión inglesa - "Te oigo entrecortado".
This is how they say it in Spain from another source.
