    Have you ever tried to sound more natural in English by changing your pitch and voice, but the last thing you felt was natural OR neutral?
    Or maybe you're not trying to change ANYTHING but the voice that comes out of you is simply not your own and sounds like somebody else's. How does that make you feel?
    Changing your pitch to sound more ‘American’ is not a bad thing.
    English has a different vocal placement than other languages, and the American voice probably has a different vocal quality than your voice in your first language (native tongue).
    However, finding the proper vocal placement in English can only happen once you start feeling comfortable with your OWN voice, and once you UNDERSTAND how your voice works.
    I have noticed that for many of my students their voice and pitch change in English and they simply don’t know why and how to change that.
    And that makes them feel like they are a different person.
    Not feeling like yourself will make you feel distant, detached and judgmental.

    You see, your voice is a mere reflection of your internal state, and if you don’t feel comfortable in English, if you feel nervous, insecure, scared - it will come across in your voice.
    In this video, I’m sharing with you why your voice changes, as well as a great vocal technique that will help your voice sound more expressive, neutral and clear when speaking English.
    Also…. I will show you how my voice sounds in my native language, Hebrew, so you could hear the different vocal quality of both languages)

      Hadar, I also think that even when you find your pitch, the voice changes at least a bit... I can feel a intense vibration in my throat while I speak English and when I speak portuguese (my mother tongue), I don't feel that much. It feels like my voice comes from my chest and not from my throat.

      watermelonxxx, I think it’s more than that. Italian and Spanish have a similar phonological system because they are related languages but English doesn’t. In Spanish and Italian sounds are generated at the tip of the tongue, while in English it is generated on the back of the tongue. Try the R sound in each language and you’ll see the difference.

    @canamcghee4709 4 роки тому +37

    our voices change in part because of different vowel shapes in different languages. like when i speak french, i find my voice is lower, because the vowels tend to need to resonate more in the lower/center of my mouth vs. english's (respectively) pretty bright vowels. our voices might also change because of where emphasis naturally falls with most words (in french, it's almost always the ends of words or sentences, for example) or in different parts of a sentence. just some food for thought!

    • @海苔大好き-m4o
      @海苔大好き-m4o 3 роки тому +2

      I also thought that the vowel nature in each language is a key in different voices of the same speaker. Though I don't know much about French or Hebrew. Hadar's voice in English sounded a bit higher because of the variety of English vowel sounds (esp. the pitches and the lengths) while Hebrew vowels sounded quite short to me (I can't analyze other characteristics of Hebrew vowel sounds---I'm just a lay person).

    When it comes to fluency - I got a lot better after practicing English tongue twisters.
    I know it's strange yet while practicing tongue twisters there's an incentive to speak in a faster pace and to connect or link sounds that require effort to place together.
    There's also the fact that one is going back to the basics in terms of differentiating sounds that otherwise might sound the same to a non-native English speaker.
    Some people think it's a waste of time - it worked for me.

    Brilliant content. As a native Arabic speaker living in the US stage 1) my voice would get higher in pitch. I discovered that I didn't feel comfortable with that. 10 Years later stage 2) I practiced dropping my pitch to my natural Arabic pitch, and that felt more comfortable, yet it didn't provide me with the ability and comfort to express varying emotions. Stage 3) I realized my tongue gets tense when I try to express varying emotions, so I started to relax my tongue whenever I'm aware of it, only 1 day in and it seems to be working wonders! It even improved my voice in Arabic! Your other videos helped me, too. Thanks a lot!

    Outstanding! 🙌🙌🙌 Love it! I was shocked to hear your voice in Hebrew!👀👀👀 I feel like I know you pretty well in English and suddenly you were a different person! You really do sound like someone else! It's definitely not just about the different intonation, shorter vowels, different sounds, it's about your voice placement. It's different. Your voice is beautiful in both languages though, clear, rich, and confident.
    My favorite videos of yours were "Understanding American English vowels - Masterclass" and "American intonation - what they don't teach you in school" until now but I am not sure anymore! I think this one wins! It's brilliant! ✨✨✨ I've listened to different explanations about the voice placement, but you have a magical way of explaining things, and things usually "click" when I hear your take on a certain topic.
    I'm pretty confident while speaking English, but I don't think I've found my optimal voice placement yet. My voice sounds pretty much the same in Serbian and English. I'm not saying that my "Serbian" voice doesn't sound good in English, it does, but I feel there's room for improvement. I think I can find a placement within my voice that will serve English a bit better. I will try the humming exercise and watch this video again and again. I'm interested to learn more from you about this topic. It would be cool if you could share more exercises for finding the "optimal voice".

My experience is that I speak best English or fluent when I'm angry. No hesitation whatsoever. ^^. The thing is that I always hesitate expressing my feelings in my mother language but not in English. Quite strange. Maybe learning a foreign language is finding your different self.^^ Also, I think observing native speakers' speaking, especially intonation, really helps my speech.

    I don't usually comment on videos but I feel compelled to do so now. I have a good command over written english, my vocabulary is close to a native's, but I have always struggled with speaking it. I have no problems with grammar or pronunciations, and yet something was amiss. I never felt comfortable talking in English and I could never pinpoint the reason why. I mostly just avoided talking in English unless it was absolutely necessary.
    I saw your video, and I felt like you were talking about me. You have accurately described everything I feel. And I didn't even know that all I had to do, was correct my pitch to my natural level to feel more comfortable. Your video has been a great help to me, and all I can say is thank you!

    In my opinion, i got a good accent even though i feel that i sound like my native language, but my father told me that my voice change but i didn't feel that my accent has changed a lot. I think that your accent change is because we are using not the same movements of tonge. And that's all but if you hear someone that's trying to imitate the american accent that would be pretty fake. so my conclusion a real accent is when you pronounce well words.

It’s a struggle indeed ! There are days where things works well, days where I feel comfortable reading using my own voice, though at the other hand, the opposite exists as well (like today for instance) where I literally struggle to utter a ‘reasonable’ English word. So frustrating sometimes. Thank you again for this video. Seeing you speaking English serves as a great example that it’s possible.
