Do you change your voice when you speak English? Here’s why

Thanks for the reminder to breathe deeply, use a higher pitch, and play with resonance to project the voice and prevent vocal chords injury! BTW, the only clue that you’re a native Israeli speaking English as a second language is that you articulate almost every “t” at the end of words (even if very lightly). A suggestion: Consider also teaching the American accent option to use a light guttural stop “Don^ya know ‘im?” (the n is swallowed as a super brief unvoiced ‘stop’ where the middle of the tongue hits the top of the pallet) instead of a “ch” “Doncha know ‘im?” I’m a native Californian and I’m enjoying learning how to explain English pronunciation to non-native speakers. Thank you for bringing light and encouragement to others around the world.

In my childhood, I was suffering from speech related problems and I came out when I was adult with the help of speech therapist.... But it broke my confidence about loving my voice as I always fear speaking with people if they are understanding what I am speaking or not....

Besides being an awesome English teacher, Hadar is a great speech therapist. Great video!

[Graciebao]

I can so relate to the topic. I do have issue about my voice, whether it's quite low in pitch or I used to constantly feel that others feel it's so unpleasant to hear, lol. You're rather impressive to me because you're may be one of very few English teachers that concern down to the last detail about the voice. I do practice now and my goal is to have a beautiful voice in English and effortless to be heard. By the way, your voice in English is fabulous. Appriciate your work!
