hello hello good morning to you what do
you like what do you do what do you do
hey it's
today i'm going to share with you the
ideal morning pronunciation practice you
want to think of it as a physical
workout or a yoga practice that you do
in the morning to get energized for the
day but also to build muscle and this is
exactly the same thing but in this case
we're talking about the articulation
organs you want to do that in the
morning to set yourself up for
pronunciation success but also to build
the muscles of your articulation organs
like the tongue and the lips and the jaw
now i recommend doing it every single
day so you're more in control of the
sounds that don't exist in your native
language but it's also going to help you
sound more clear in your native language
as well you can do it in the morning but
you can also do it before going into a
meeting or before having an important
speaking gig okay let's get started but
before that if you're new to my channel
then hi and welcome and this is the
place for you if you want to speak
english with clarity with confidence and
freedom so be sure to subscribe and
click the bell to get notifications so
you don't miss out on any valuable
lesson let's begin with massaging your
jaw it's always good to become aware and
kind of like relax all unnecessary
tension we're going to start with that
and end with that there is a muscle here
at the jaw hinge that connects between
the upper jaw and the lower jaw and
usually we hold a lot of tension there
so i want you to massage it and kind of
like try to
release all the tension
and maybe hum
we're also warming up the voice
[Music]
so you don't have the morning voice
and here
the cheeks and again the jaw
maybe move it around a little bit with
your hands
okay a little more
okay good
now we're gonna warm up the tongue let's
begin by sticking the tongue out
and we're gonna move it to the right and
then to the left to the right
we're going to do this 10 times
okay so
right
okay now we're gonna stick the tongue
out
and bring it up and down so stick it out
keep doing it i'm going to keep speaking
again push it out as if the tongue wants
to come out of your mouth
two more
and
very good now let's stick it out and
bring it back in really fast 10 times
as far as you can
okay good let's release tension and blow
your lips out
okay good in the next exercise we are
going to clean the teeth with your
tongue
so you want to move your tongue around
keep doing it now this is a really good
exercise especially before a meeting so
you make sure that you don't have green
stuff or poppy seeds stuck between your
teeth i got you covered
keep your lips closed
good relax your lips
good
now we're going to use the tongue to
massage the inside of the cheek
as you're resisting the tongue with your
cheek muscles
so
take your tongue the tip of the tongue
and push it against the inside of your
left cheek
while the cheek is actually resisting it
so you want to push against you want
your tongue to feel like it's fighting
something as you're massaging it
and get to all the different places
inside your mouth
and to the right
good
and now let's do a trill to relax the
tongue
for some of you this is going to be
really easy if you have the trilled r in
your language if you don't you can just
do another lip trill
and now we're going to do it while going
up and down in pitch
[Applause]
[Music]
ah massage the jaw bit more very very
good you're starting to feel your mouth
to feel
the tongue which is good because we need
the tongue to articulate the sounds and
to be able to do it clearly we need to
be in control of the tongue
now we're going to warm up the lips so
push the lips forward as if you're
pushing it for a kiss
an exaggerated one
and pull it to the sides
forward
now try to keep
the cheeks out of the way right you
don't want to go like this
okay you don't want to get used to
engaging your cheeks when pulling the
lips sometimes we need that to
articulate some of the sounds like the
e and the ah and we want to be able to
control these muscles
so just the lips the corners of the
mouth
and forward
one more time
okay
very good
make sure you're not holding tension in
your shoulders if you do just
tell your shoulders to relax
tell your face to relax
okay good now we're going to go into a
few sounds let's start with the tip of
the tongue consonants let's begin with
the t sound
make sure it's just the tip of the
tongue touching the upper palate
and now we're going to move the tongue
back a bit and switch between s and z
now we're going to move on to consonants
created with the lips we're going to
start with a
sound where you bring the lips together
and release air
and then the voiced version of it
and then we're going to go to the nasal
version of it
mama
let's add vowels to it
and we're going to use the consonant m
my
so we're going into an i diphthong you
want to drop your jaw and then raise the
tongue for an e sound
my
and then we're going to go into mamma
may
okay
now we're going into the a as in day
diphthong starting with an e
shifting into an e
mamma may mamma may mamma may
then we're going to do a long always and
go mamamoo mamamoo mamamoo
good
the next diphthong is going to be
mamamooy mama moy mama moy oyas
and finally
we're going to use the ow diphthong mao
mama mao mama mao just like in mouse
mao so we're going to do all five of
them one after the other
mamma mai
mamma may mamma mo
mama moy mama mao
let's do it again mama my
very good
now we're going to move to the back of
the mouth pronouncing the
from there i want you to shift to the
high e sound
so the tongue pulls back for the g and
then forward for the high e
and then
good so let's do it a few times
and then from there we're going to move
on to the tense ooh sound a back open
vowel sound
goo
kakaku
gagu
make sure you push the lips forward for
the oo sound let's do it two more times
cool
very good and now i want you to yawn
like raise the soft palate by yawning
good
and let's
find the voice and bring the voice to
the chest
hello hello good morning hello hello

voice to the chest hello hello good
morning to you hello hello good morning

okay that's it to wrap it up i want you
to put your palm on your belly one on
your belly one in your chest and try to
breathe into the hand
that is on the belly
and breathe out
close your eyes breathe in to your belly
not to your chest and breathe out
and last time and as you exhale you can
also release a sound breathe into your
belly
okay that's it as i said in the
beginning i recommend doing it every
single day and when you do you will feel
the improvement and how easier it is for
you to articulate sounds in english and
in your native language as well now to
make it fun and to hold each other
accountable every time you complete this
exercise write in the comments done
so we know that you did it again today
have a beautiful beautiful day and i
will see you tomorrow
