they're everywhere! thanks Bertha!

it sounds like you may need to access your diaphragm a bit more, which will allow you to project your voice--consider how singers are able to fill a room without a microphone

again, because of its use of the diaphragm. thanks for watching and writing!

hope this added some clarity!

thanks as always Eva!

it's everywhere!

Thank you!!

you woke up and chose violence today Bertha!

Thanks for writing! You mean "coming to you" changes to sound like what you described? If I have the right impression, this would be what's called a fast d/flap t. More examples of that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaXYma2ibbBlmq8

@@FluentAmerican Thank you very much. You are a very good teacher. I have watched all the videos concerning this question. Good day. 👍

I hope they helped!

Very much so! 🎉

Glad to hear! Thanks as always

videos I have on /ae/: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moqok4ajn6Zpj7M ae + n kzbin.info/www/bejne/on7CnKWPf7WIfq8 ae in general kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqamm4N5fJyCe6c ae in comparison with nonnative speaker

appreciate the kind words!

can you elaborate on changing pitches? In general what to expect inside of a thought group: the pitch will rise on the stressed syllable of a stressed word, the other syllables will drop If a stressed word falls on one of the first words of the thought group, all the other syllables will move down if a stressed word falls towards the end of the thought group, it doesn't mean that it will be the highest pitch necessarily--the highest pitch may be towards the beginning rising intonation is not the same as the stressed word all that said, without specifically hearing the phrases you are, it's hard to say exactly what the situation that you're encountering is

thanks for watching and writing! it sounds like your placement and breath are going back to your first language; check out our homepage at kzbin.info for playlists that focus on breath and placement

thank you as always!

Re: 1, can you elaborate? Re: 2, I'd say the differences have more to do with placement and breath

hey there! thanks for reaching out I understand about shows and popular media; I'm always a bit nervous about copyright, and while I understand that there are many channels built around fair use and adding to material that isn't originally theirs and I've done a little of it in the past, it's not a move I want to risk with the channel overall. I hope that makes sense!

@@FluentAmerican okay. Just a last question. Pitch and stress are applied to music?

@@GiancarlosClareslume-tr3yp for sure, they also appear when singing--these are aspects of spoken language

thanks for watching and writing!
