Do you change your voice when you speak English? Here’s why (+ listen to my voice in Hebrew😲)

[@hadar.shemesh]

Yo! Does YOUR voice change when you speak English? Let’s start a conversation I’m the comments ! 👇👇

[@jeffersonbelmiro2952]

All my respect about you but you are so beautiful ! I almost can't see you and learn the same time ! 🤗

[@victormanuelestebanmartinez]

I think that maybe that change of voice might be that we try to imitate the voice of the person from whom we learned English. What do you think?

[@hadar.shemesh]

I think this is very possible!! Depends how much exposure you had to that person

[@maristelaaraujo9617]

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.

[@anmar.alwani]

As we used to hear from you in English, I thought for a while ,when u spoke in Hebrew as if you had been an English native speaker but NON Hebrew native one 😂😂.. Secondly, only NOW !

[@pazitoish]

My mother tongue is Spanish and my voice sounds different in both languages. I also notice it in other people who speak Spanish and English. The voice in English sounds lower than in Spanish.

[@MikeLlerena]

Fully agree... It actually goes further than just because you do not feel comfortable with the language or nervous... Every language has its own sounds and that's what gives us the feeling of having a different tone between languages.

[@Ignasimp]

In my case it's the other way round. I speak higher in English than in Catalan or Spanish.

[@annaluce916]

I’m italian and my voice in english is lower, too... But I don’t feel that my voice changes if I speak spanish 😂

[@madlenox]

I love spanish ans speak spanish but i think it is because spanish is a bit childish sounding and softer

[@pazitoish]

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.

[@xinaily]

I feel like every language has its own personality and gives you different features when you speak. For example when I speak English I feel much more confident and happy. Japanese makes me speak higher and I sound cute and bubbly. This is really fun 😀

[@canamcghee4709]

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]

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.

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". 💕💕💕

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!

Right on, Hadar! I'm a bilingual live announcer / MC / voice actor in Japanese and English, and before I started my career, my American voice-over teacher taught me about finding your optimal voice pitch using a similar technique to humming. In the Japanese language, on the other hand, what is considered a good pitch is way higher because a good voice is supposed to sound young, joyful, and clear. I think my body has adopted the optimal vocal range over the years and I speak both languages in the same way, but it takes time. So don't pretend to speak like someone you're not though having a role model is all good. Your voice is your asset.

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.

What if I feel weirder when speaking in my native language than English? ...

[@palazhi7090]

Thank you so much for this valuable video...I often feel that native English speakers speak in open voice from their throat....try doing 'hmmm' before we talk really helps finding the apt voice for any language...lots of love from Kerala, India.

[@pia_mater]

I was listening to some audio messages I sent to a friend and I noticed I have a vocal fry when I speak English and omg it's so annoying 💀 I do it unconscioully of course, but now I'm more self aware of it. Also, I say "like" way too much, I need to work on that

thank you for this! I’m a singer and sometimes i don’t like my voice and it’s very tiring to shift between my native and english sounds! this made me realize a lot of things I am missing and I have to love my own voice! thank you

[@hadar.shemesh]

Thank you for sharing. Loving your voice and accepting it and yourself is the most important thing. If you don’t who will?

[@evandrojcm]

When I heard some Americans I notice their voice resonates in the chest and vibrates the throat more than Brazilians speakers.

[@lidiapolanco4784]

Hi, Hadar!, Thanks for helping us with your videos. Your are an amazing teacher!

[@PascaleLaurent81]

When I lower my voice I sound more like a native English speaker but when I go above, my french Canadian accent comes to the forefront.

I feel kind of confident when I speak out loud or in front of others, but when I listen to my own recordings, I hate it. Thank you so much. I love your voice in Hebrew, even though your voice in English is beautiful.

Mine voice sounds like a little girl, I hate that, it’s so embarrassing

@@chet0932 Huh, that's how I sound in my mother tongue, probably because I'm actually more comfortable speaking English.
