Wondering how to completely change how you speak to sound more smooth and fluent? Before you think about what to do with your face, your mouth, or tongue, or breath, think about which sounds you're speech is emphasizing. Is it consonant sounds or vowel sounds? By shifting the focus to heavier vowels and weaker consonants, the end result may be speech that sounds much smoother than how you originally spoke. Let's explore!Welcome to For Word, the platform dedicated to guiding you towards better spoken performance. We're constantly looking at techniques to add more vocal variety to how we talk by incorporating more softness and firmness to our, furrowing eyebrows, smiling, raising and lowering pitches, adding pauses in order to convey frustration, sadness, joy and nervousness, and considering how to add more breath to everything we say. Let's see how these elements of contrast and body language can lead to richer expression.In this video, we're especially paying attention to our head position to see how the location we look towards immediately changes the quality of the voice we use-and how sometimes looking down might be the best option for what we need to say, and other times looking up could be the perfect fit.#performance #poetry #speaking

The reality is many American English learners are not saying words in a way that sounds natural, often creating a rhythm that does sound natural because it has little to no variation in contrast, in addition to issues with placement, breath, and vowels. Let's show you some quick techniques will have you start sounding natural in American English pronunciation.

However, for a quick few minutes of practice on sounds you find difficult, I think you'll find ELSA helpful. Take advantage of the discount they've made for you above!*When it comes to creating change in your pronunciation, you have to be careful of consonant sounds in American English! You could be pronouncing your vowels perfectly, but if the consonant itself is not kept in check, it can completely change how your word sounds--and not for the better.

Lipreading has been in the news this month, thanks to gossip-stoking mouth movements at the Golden Globes that the amateur lipreaders of The Internet rushed to interpret.
