I’ve spoken English my whole life... I’ve just got mush mouth
Oh no not MUUSSHH MOUUTHHH!!!! 😮
Lol same
@@ImproveYourVoice Mush mouth is better than what you teach: overenunciation. Overenunciation is annoying and incorrect.
I'm 26 and got like a permanent slur to my speech from heavy drinking in my early twenties. It's getting better though. I have to do enunciation exercises everyday.
@@Hermanubis1 if you dont like it, dont watch
Such a simple trick, yet so impactful. I'm currently in an acting role that requires me to speak for long periods, and enunciation was becoming a struggle. Thank you so much!
Can't believe people said you shouldn't be teaching this type of stuff because you have an accent.
Everyone has an accent though????
Like bruh
Who said that?
@@ImproveYourVoice I thought I heard YOU said that people have said that in your video here?
I could've heard incorrectly, though, so my bad if I did.
Man I’m sorry, I made this video quite a while ago now. Didn’t check just answered your message on my UA-cam feed. There were people in earlier videos who said that in the comments. Crazy right 🤪
Exactly! EVERYONE has an accent. If you have speech, you have an accent! To Brits, Americans have an American accent, to Americans, Brits have a British accent; Australians have Australian accents, Irish have Irish accents, Russians have Russian accents, Scots have Scottish accents, Middle Eastern & Asian people have their own respective accents, etc. etc. etc. (to quote Yul Brenner.) ;-) Wherever you go in the world, people have accents exclusive to *that* region. Everyone on the planet speaks with an accent. So to say that one can't or shouldn't teach vocal lessons, or whatever it is one teaches, because they have an accent is ridiculous & ignorant.
I've noted many tips from you, if they really worked, I'll never forget you, really great job!!
I'm a native English speaker. I've got to say, your British accent is extremely impressive, although that may not mean much given that I'm an American. I didn't even realize that you're a Finn until you mentioned that some people criticize you for your accent and I checked what country you're from. Regardless of what accent you have, your pronunciation of words is perfect, and you're living proof that maintaining proper English pronunciation isn't impossible for non-native speakers!
I may live in Finland but am actually from East London. I do have an accent but then so does everybody. Thanks for the comment and I hope you can get benefit from the channel! D 😎
I watch videos back of me talking and I don’t even understand myself half of the time. I mumbled a lot for some reason. This video is going to be very helpful as I have to give two different speech’s in a few weeks.
Thanks for the advice, now I understood a new concept. And I want to repay the favor, native english speaker and native speakers of any language in the world they not speak that clearly simply because it could be boring sometimes and also ots not needed, it makes sense?!, so when you speak so clearly you sound like a non native speaker, it happens in all languages, salutes from Colombia 🇨🇴, God bless you.
this is the first time in a while I haven't needed to turn on captions. this is lovely, and so is the way you speak
Lovely 😊 where are you from?
Same! english is my first language but i would always turn on captions just to check i was comprehending properly
Thank you for this!
I need this as I also speak too fast as an American flight attendant Thank you very much
A delight to the ear. Never heard you before.
Oh do take a look around there’s much to see and learn here! Welcome! 🙏
Good job, thanks !
Yes, I can understand you well
Will you address how to prevent your voice from cracking or trailing off at the end of a sentence?
Musab Abdi I have covered this in previous videos but will look at it specifically for you soon!
I do agree accents do not matter but it is good to see a good example of clear speech with accent. Fantastic job with the video. I learnt more about speech clarity in these 3 minutes than I have my entire life. Thank you for putting up such wonderful content.
Thanks 🙏 that’s very kind. There’s more on the channel to have too checked through?
This is a great video! I'm learning English and my teacher always tells me to improve my enunciation but I didn't know how. Thanks! from Japan
Perfect! Thank-you :)
Thank you so much for this!
I'm a Filipino, thank you so much, i need this... 🥰
Great & welcome! 👍👍👍
Lmao I feel you bro😂😂
Same here bro, I just started working in a BPO company.
thanks to you, since a few days now I remember the last letters to pronounce in every words
(i'm british and english is my first language so i'm not sure where the weird habit of dropping letters came from)
(t, g, and some other letters)
It's pretty embarassing sometimes to not enounciate properly especially that i'm a teenager amongst others in school (and teachers)who I need to communicate to daily
I will continue being aware and practice and get better and improve my confidence(because sometimes I am afraid to speak because of my weird non pronounciaton of last letters habit lol.)
which kind of became an insecurity of mine over time ...
but not anymore!
I'm improving yay
thank you again!
Yess! That’s the spirit. You can always improve and as long as you put in a little effort now, in the long run you have nothing to worry about. 👏 keep it up!
@@ImproveYourVoice thank you :D
Love this channel!
yeahh bro i gotta record a tiktok for a school project and this is gonna help so much
thank you so much
such a nice video, thank you
Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said this butter is bitter.
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter.
So she bought a better butter, better than the bitter butter.
Never thought rhymes I learned in third grade will be useful 20 years later to help me enunciate better.
Funny one isn’t it?
@@ImproveYourVoice I notice that once I get to the word "than" (near the end), my speech just speeds up for no reason and I completely miss "the".
It’s easy to do as it’s a linking word. Practice over articulating and slowing down before Speeding up again!
"But a bit of better butter will make her batter better! So she bought some better butter and put in her batter and it made her batter better!!yayy Lol...I was just saying this one to my niece. Too funny. Thank you
I have an East African English accent.. I am from Uganda
Really u r doing great work love from India .....sir
Thank you sir!
Every way of speaking English is a different accent.
Absolutely!
The video was at 999 likes, I had to press it. Also thanks for the help !
Ha ha. There should be a prize right?
Yeah um, there are many English speaking countries with their own accents and all are valid and usually still easy to understand so people should calm down I think 🤷🏻♀️
People can be hard on themselves!
u are doing great
I have been told by several sales managers that I’m great but I could be better if I “took the ghetto” out of my speech. I’ve expanded my vocabulary tremendously however enunciation is still hard for me to overcome without sounding robotic.
good presentation to improve the Enundiation
🙏 thanks 🙏 did it work?
Thanks! This really helps.
Redbird 101 great stuff, thanks!
Great information
On pointe lesson!
Useful then?
Feel and fuel can be Impossible to distinguish even from fluent English speakers plenty more conundrums
Of course I will be respectful of others.
Anyway, I'm from Southern California so I have a little bit of an accent. Yeah, people don't think that Californians have an accent but we do. Just as I am sure that in every part of the world there are various accents, from region to region.
Okay, I'll get to the point. Thank you so much for this video. But despite the fact that the video was about enunciation, when you said your name at the end I couldn't understand it. Dude, I just want to know your name. 😆
That's all. Thank you for your time and effort. I think that speech and words are so very important.
Thank you for being part of the very small community that actually care about the way people communicate with each other.
After all, aren't we all here to improve? Not just our, language but our ethics and our morals?
Okay, I'll shut up now. Thank you sir for the video. But again, what is your name? 😊
Lol first thing I thought was “oh man, this is gonna be hard learning to speak from someone with a different accent since they enunciate different parts of words differently”… didn’t last long tho. Ty, sir.
Great. Whats your accent?
Excellent, I have just stopped listening to a very intelligent analyses of a great writer, and it was horrific. Educated people , that have no sense of diction, enunciation , emphasis and on,, We Speak of Woke Movement, My God, back to basics,, Bravo To you !
Language is important right?
Is there anything that can help with those who don't like move their mouth when they speak that's my problem any tips would be greatly appreciated because nobody ever hears me or listens to me
Fire
I was here to improve my voice but forget all and staying to listen your british accent😂
English is not my mother tongue, but when I do speak it, i am having a hard time enunciating words with emphasized R in it.
Wow that accent comment was absurd. You’re British, who’s to say you have an accent? I’m American, maybe I’m the one with an accent 🤦🏼♀️ 🤪
Great tips! Thank you!
Everyone has an accent
i have a law class and on a zoom call my teachers husband was like "you gotta enunciate better" and i have a zoom call today in literally an hour and im over here stressing 😭😭
English is my second language tho tyy for the viddd
I practice enunciation with Elsa Speak app.
Is that a plug?
Ngl I grew up as a geordie and I've tried my best for the past 7 years to be more coherent unless I intentionally over enunciate which just sounds weird. Uuuuuuugh, I just want to speak properly.
Is there any way I could send you a voice note so that you can tell me what I need to work on
Check out the tongue twister competition. I'll be analysing voices and giving away articulation courses for ten winners :)
I am wondering if there is such thing as “No Accent”.
I know for sure even here in this country, there are some people that are way less educated or have less experienced dealing with another culture than others.
That’s normal.
Everyone has an accent as far as I'm concerned. Did I say that?
Clearly, you don't have an accent, but some listeners might have one. I taught pronunciation in a couple of universities in Japan and you are correct by teaching native speakers to finish pronunciating their words. Is the cause impatience, too much in a hurry?
Actually I do have an accent and no it’s not necessarily the rate at which we speak that causes word endings to get missed. It really just might be the casual use of local dialects. Thanks for your comment. 😁
Everyone has an accent
Overenunciation is bad English.
I always think of Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka "Mumbler!!" I need help!!🤣
I don't find your accent a problem at all and you have good enuciation. However, I find the speed and energy overwhelming! It makes it a challenge to process what you are saying.
I got caught up in the You tube trends I think. More recent videos should be better paced. Good comment. Thanks for the honesty 🙏😁
does it work with all languages or specifically English only?
Silent observer That’s a smart question and I’d have to answer... I honestly don’t know because I only speak English and Finnish! It counts for English most definitely.
@@ImproveYourVoice that's unfortunate
@@silentobserver9418 Well the thing is other languages will have different types of enunciation.
Hey, I think I have trouble enunciating because I salivate a lot. What would you recommend I do?
I'd speak to a speech pathologist!
I'm not sure but would it make it harder if someone's voice is low because my friends keep on telling me that I have a deep voice that's hard to understand
bruh a deep voice is good thing to have. make the most out of it. unless your a girl then a deep voice might not be ideal.
@@zizu1236 Idk maybe I just need to work on my mumbling for some reason my tounge and lips feel heavy
I say:
"It's terribly difficul_ to enuncia_ a lo_ of T's".
I never realized that. Haha
Where underscored ("_"), I sound out more of an empty "d" in replace of a "t". It sounds close to an "n" - a "nd" where the "d" is soft.
I'm so going to be hearing myself do this forever until I correct it. Haha
Well done! What’s your natural accent?
@@ImproveYourVoice
From the US, but moved a lot: northwest, west, southwest, upper Midwest state accents mixed, weighted with Texan.
Why do you want to change it?
@@ImproveYourVoice
I should have posted, improve enunciation.
Okay. Have you checked any more videos on the subject?
I actually change accents when I drink.. people say I sound american/Canadian.. I think this only because I pronounce each vowel.. is this normal?
Where are you from?
@@ImproveYourVoice Hi! I'm from NZ
I like your accent
I like your comment!
@@ImproveYourVoice thank you! have a great day!
Sometimes i feel like my tongue too big and i have to cut it off
At the same time, while learning Russian, and German we struggle as we try to find our way through the sounds that words are meant to be delivered in , if you get my drift, know what i mean, and oh yeah,, Alexander Pope would slit his wrists in a moment.
I’m a English speaker
But I just got my tongue tied tongue fixed after 16 years and it ruined how I speak lol
your accent is good but your speech is very fast. Native language speakers can understand but other guys don't understand easily. It's my opinion please use some pauses. And go slow down.
Thank you for your constructive feedback. Good point! It's an old video now however and I think I have slowed somewhat. But worth keeping in mind for the future. Were you able to get any benefit from it?
Hey I can't pronounce alphabet 's' what can I do?
You can use "th" like Mike Tyson.
The thnake🐍
The thquirrel 🐿
The thnail 🐌
@@with_palo nah you a goat 😂
He;s yelling at me??
WAT?
OFTEN? No, off-en.
I wonder if other languages have a problem with words ending in a consonant?
Both are correct
@@ImproveYourVoice
Ha! Both are used. But only one pronunciation is correct. The less belaboured version IMHO. I oft render the "t" silent, and for poetry's sake. And if you refuse to agree I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheons , See if I don't. ua-cam.com/video/ngZtreQDmyI/v-deo.html

Alternatively, for the sake of proper elucidation. ua-cam.com/video/0lXas5Ix65U/v-deo.html
You have just been deceived, assuming you watch this linked video. They claim the worst ever poetry was by a Paul Neil Milne Johnstone. This is a provable lie. It was a Sussex girl named Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings. All you need to do is read the book.
My voice has been effected by a missing front tooth
Aah yes that's a tricky one right. You almost have to start to speak completely differently just to sound close to what you used to right?
Enunciation from a British guy? Hmmm!
Problem?
You will be more Audible or Storytel hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
