Praat tutorial - Introduction

Praat - system for phonetic analysis

[@keimiu7595]

Thank you very much! Great help for beginners, way more straightforward than wordy user guides

[@ernietollar407]

Formants, voiced, unvoiced pitch... wow.. !!! I'm a musician and found this via those amazing Indian raga vocal performance analysis videos. Thanks very much for sharing this!!!!

[@Maryangel24]

you're a life saver ^_^ great tutorial. i worked with praat about 3 years ago for a week but i had forgotten EVERYTHING again. you refreshed my memory - thank you!

[@ernietollar407]

This is so fascinating. I saw this. tech. used to look at. Indian classical music recordings - particularly the melodic/pitch details. I have been looking for this for over a year !!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for posting / sharing!

[@GJOstudio]

The shifting you see, the middle of the waveform is not aligned with the middle line in the analysis, is caused by shifting of the direct current or a slightly shifted membrane. This happens mostly in the electronic domain and can shift the recording. You can easily repair this in any audio editor by a operation called DC correction, Offset correction or simple off-set BTW you also hear this shifting resulting in a pulse sound, whenever you hit play or stop. When corrected your example would sound much clearer, especially since you playback very short durations. Good tutorial !

[@ArtVandelay99]

Indeed the only tutorial on PRAAT there is on KZbin yet - thanks, this was very useful for me as well! I would encourage you to do more, specialised tutorials on the individual operations that can be done in PRAAT.

[@kinzaalizaiQazi]

Hey, It was very well attempted. I have had an assignment and I could not figure in out by watching some other tutorials. You talked about basics in a simple way. Thank you so much. Kinza.

[@annisatriyani9278]

OMG YOUR VOICE IS SO CUTE I CANT!!!! Thanks for the tutorial btw. I'm doing my research and it needs to use Praat :D

[@cinematomie]

that was so helpful, I have just took the course of Clinical phonetics and I found your tutorial video so helpful since I am about to use the praat a lot. thank you

[@laurahahn4329]

Thank you for this! I really have to get to learn how to use Praat before writing my Doctorate dissertation. So if you have more of this to share, it would be great! I would like to learn more about its resources.

[@smolenskygirl]

Thank you-very helpful introduction, has saved me lots of messing about

[@frufruJ]

Thanks for the topic of the next tutorial! :-) Yes, it is possible and quite easy, I didn't know whether to give it its own vid, but it seems that I will.

[@JosephDewey]

Excellent video!!! This is a great tutorial. You're a pro!!!

[@acho8387]

Thank you for the video. Your voice is very therapeutic :)

[@Videodimarco]

Thank you, Everytime I use Praat I see this tutorial before open the program...

[@ChineseZeroToHero]

Wow, what operation system is that? Looks so shiny and futuristic! j/k

[@rforce668]

Your tutorial was straightforward and easy to follow. It was a good introduction. Thanks for posting it :-)

[@1flovera]

I like her voice :)

[@andrefrancoisdurasphilidor6742]

She sounds like a native speaker of Chinese who learned British English

[@andreasfebrilliantoprimawa8865]

and i like your comment :)

[@simonjustesen8364]

Thank you for the video. It gave my an easy start.

[@manyhernandez16]

Thank you very much for such a quick response!!! I'm looking forward to watching your next tutorial!!!

[@Foneticaable]

You can convert stereo to mono using windows object, convert to mono. You can also change the dynamic range to 30 db. It would look nicer. Thank you for your tutorial.

[@07surbhivaishnav]

it's a fruitfull guide for initiators to speech stream. kindly approach to Emotion recognition in speech with details analysis. mension How MFCC works with Speech Signal. Thank you!

[@frufruJ]

Sure, you can compare the formants, VOT, length etc.

[@khanhdovanit]

Thanks for your work! Love it.

[@Alan-rx7sc]

Many thanks. This was great.

[@houessouraissaaudreym.8936]

It was really very important for me, cause I am writing my master thesis and I was in need of praat but I really didn't understand how it worked. Thank you very much.

[@Asmariif]

Hello, I M also working on my thesis and using Praat to analyze Prosody, if u read this comment please reply, because i need some help. THANKS in advance

[@amdeguzmanotmt]

Thank you for uploading this video. I hope you can also do a video discussing phonetic analysis. thank you very much!

[@RajarshiBandopadhyay]

Thank you very much for this video. I hope there is a tutorial series.

[@frufruJ]

Interesting, what is the thesis about? As for VOT, I thought you meant its length (e.g. strong aspiration etc). If you mean, where exactly to take the point when the vocal folds would be considered to have started vibrating, I'm not aware of any rules for that, bacause the starting phase is so short. I'll ask John Wells and keep you updated ;-)

[@catth1169]

Thanks so much, this was really useful and easy to understand!

[@AndyHirt]

? [d] is a voiced consonant; it's quiet because it's obstructed, but still voiced (although the woman speaking is British and they're de-voicing many of their consonants - like Germans). I think you're speaking n the fry register (indicative of submissiveness). Women do this a lot in the western U.S., especially young women. Great tutorial. I'm really looking for info on how to insert text and set up axis numbering systems for an exported pitch image with consonants and vowels indicated on the image. I wonder where I can find this...

[@ameenalgamal.9741]

Thanks for the video. Excellent for beginners

[@martintelepata1]

Thanks! I've downloaded the program just a few minutes ago and I was looking for a short tutorial just as yours. I'm an intermediate english learner and i want to improve my pronunciation. Do you think this program would be useful for that purpose or is it intended for professional users only? Thanks a lot again!

[@frufruJ]

Do you mean, to get the time of voice onset? Just measure it. I don't know if I understand you.

[@falsefriend]

Hey, thank you very much for your nice tutorial on Praat.

[@frufruJ]

I will upload something soon.

[@edwardkrall3335]

Great help. Thanks

[@iwettling]

Very thanks. Thats really a good help

[@camillezhang6138]

Great tutorial! It really helps me

[@user-zw7ke4vi3k]

Why can't praat judge IPA

[@aldolunabueno2634]

Wooow!!! Thank you so much!

[@Dan0368911]

Thank you, a very clear introduction

[@user-kq7rp8xt7g]

Thank you!!😆 This video is so nice

[@UmeshKasture]

Thanks for nice introduction...

[@liquidsheaven]

thanks so much for this explanation, i am interested in the difference between black and white peoples vocal chords, i am white (its not a race issue so much) but i love the way black people sound when they sing... is there a way to edit the pitch and formats in this program? i would love to see your analysis between black and "white" race voices

[@aishahibrahim8567]

Thank you so much, it was beneficial ♥️🌿

[@adamzhang2874]

it's been 13 years, how have u been?

[@iwettling]

Yes. The voice onset time. I am curious about how can be determinated graphically the steady-state vocal fold vibration (The end of the VOT). Its for my thesis XD. Sorry my poor english

[@Aprilseahorse]

Thanks for posting. I have been looking for software to help me "filter" or otherwise help me with EVPs form my Paranormal work. I get some great EVPs but some at times it is hard to hear all of the words do to back ground or white noise. I currently use Audacity, but I am told that it can and will mess up your recording files. I do like to watch the wave on the graft as I am playing the files. I can sometimes see an EVP before I hear it. If anyone has input, I would love to hear it!

[@nadinetaylor2449]

This was so helpful! Thank you! :D

[@veronicaoddysey9253]

thank you ! it does help me a lot ! keep it up

[@iwettling]

Do you have the exact procedure to make a VOT? Thanks

[@user-ms2mx8il9w]

Thanks for your brief introduction to Praat. This video is really useful! I have a question for you: How can I identify the onset and the offset of a vowel? I know that both the V onset and offset should be shown in red above the waveform, nevertheless I’m trying to figure out which part of the vowel should I highlight so as the accurate number of its onset and offset to be indicated above. Let’s take for instance the word ‘data’ [‘deitə]. What would be the onset and the offset of the vowel /a/ [ei] and how can I get it? Looking forward to receiving your feedback.

[@jiriheger8227]

What a lovely tutorial. Can someone please tell me what a formant is and why is it important for the spectogram analysis? Thank you very much

[@zitarantinosmusic]

Hello! Is is possible to measure the minimum and maximum frequency of a sound on Praat?

[@user-ww9yk3oq9c]

it's super interesting!

[@frufruJ]

As soon as I get a little better, OK? Unless you want to do a study of a hoarse voice with the absence of the nasal formant ;-)

[@sumitbhalla6761]

nice start...thanks

[@manyhernandez16]

Hi, there! Thank you sooo much for posting this tutorial, I've found it much useful!!! Hey, I have a question: do you happen to know how we can draw/write the segmentation of a word under that part of the spectrogram that shows such segment? I once saw someone presenting a paper in which she let everyone listen to a particular segment, and she had actually written each of the segments of the word under the spectrogam... Thanks!!!

[@sar7861]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm doing my thesis on VOT of English stop phonemes in bilingual Spanish-English speakers vs monolingual English speakers, and I'm trying to learn the Praat software! You have helped me generously. Is there a good way to get a good estimate for the VOT (voice onset time)

[@sstradioto]

Thank you! It helped me a lot!

[@anticaritz]

very nice lesson, thank you!

[@RoccoTaker]

Hi, Are there italian instructions for this program? Can you help me? I need to do a thesis using praat

[@AkarslanAkademi]

Thank, I liked it.

[@diwakardevkota3544]

how to measure steady state vowel duration of vc?

[@Ferovka]

Thank you very much for your tutorial! :)

[@aria4aria]

hi thanks for the video . I want to make comparisons between the students to see how their fluency has changed through a treatment. therefore I will have to compare two groups of students or a pretest with a posttest. how is this possible in the software. thanks

[@mondai34]

SO helpful!

[@martian2lee]

Thank you, frufruJ!

[@11199545]

Great job :)

[@aminahiro363]

Thank you for uploading this video, it really helped me.. But can you tell me what the number in parentheses means? If you look at second 3.05, you see the duration 1,455... and behind (0,687/s). could you tell me what that means?

[@frufruJ]

Thank you.

[@systemerror7330]

Thank you ❤️

Can you help me with this program i have research ???

[@frufruJ]

I haven't worked with it for over 10 years. Maybe I remember the basics, but probably you can find better tutors...

[@dennisdidinger2402]

hi , can i ask you a question? if so, where/how?

[@ekaterina5981]

Thank u!

[@duniahatem1247]

thanks!

[@Vagner_Christian]

Hi, thanks for the video I am a new user for this program, i am trying to use this to improve my accent. My question is how can i use this program to improve my accent? Can i can record a sentence and compare it with a sentence read by a native speaker? Please let me know if there's also other tools so i can improve my accent, thanks

[@salmaasghar1674]

you can listen to the native speakers as much as you can.

[@jeanyevenes]

i like your accent, speacially your low tones ;)

[@user-ut1go9dn7j]

Please omit the script. It hide most information.

[@frufruJ]

Sorry, I really don't know...
