Do you sing:

[ˈpɜ:fɪkt] 

or

[ˈpɜ:rfikt] 

[ˈpɜ:fɪkt] 

I was always taught not to pronounce the [r] sound because it's part of the long [ɜ] sound. 

It's like 'work', you don't pronounce werk, but wek (with a long [ɜ] sound)... 

I think... am I wrong? I think it's depend on the area where English is spoken

what is happening

The OP is (I'm assuming) using the IPA to ask the question, which is appropriate because it makes the question much more distinctive rather than using flimsy natural language spelling methods. It's just that most people don't know how to read it.

I think in the USA they pronounce the 'r' and in some parts of Great Britain they don't (mainly England)

Btw, why did you ask it? It's just curiosity. I'm into these things as well :D

 

I'm interested in phonetics and after all these political meltdowns I wanted to create a none political messy thread

Most accents of English, iirc, are non-rhotic, so they would have the (cross-linguistically rare) vowel /ɜ/ as well as more distinguished long vowels, rising diphthongs, etc. Americans like myself use a consonant /ɹ/ ~/ɻ/ instead, especially as a syllabic consonant (along with other sonorants.)

And if you're using narrow transcription the /p/ should be aspirated to distinguish it from [p] /b/ <b>.

I know but I couldnt find the aspiration symbol and I thought nobody would notice

The question is do you as an American have the time to pronounce the r even though you're singing in such a fast rhythm ?
