048 How Practising Consonant Exercises Can Save You Money
Now that we know the difference between obstructed and unobstructed sounds and voiced and unvoiced consonants, we'll jump back into the practical side of articulation. This articulation training will make our voice sound clearer. Therefore, we'll be asked to repeat ourselves less often, and we'll save editing time. In other words, this training will save us money. Happy days!What You Will Learn In This Episode:- What are consonant clusters and how can they help our voicing- The different ways of working with consonant clusters- The benefits of overtraining our articulatorsBy adding these exercises to our warmup routine, we'll reduce our pickups while recording, reduce the time we spend in the booth, which in turn will save us money, energy and make our lives easier. The clear voice we always wanted will be waiting just around the corner if we keep our articulators working and responsive.

047 What are Plosives and Fricatives?
This week, we will go through some necessary and exciting theories about sounds. After working with the basics of articulation, release and toning, the next natural step is learning about the sounds of words. In this show, we will divide our speaking sounds into two large groups, vowels and consonants, and we will dive into the mechanics of how these sounds are produced. Hop on and join me in today's entertaining technical interlude. What You Will Learn In This Episode:- The difference between obstructed and unobstructed sounds- What are short, long, and sliding vowels, and how we can identify them- What are plosive and fricative sounds, and what is the difference between them- What are voiced and unvoiced fricativesThe main goal of learning to identify the elements of our voicing is to use this information to our advantage and produce lovely, expressing and engaging sounds. This way, we can avoid making annoying sounds on the mic, like extreme explosions from our plosives, which distort our words' sounds.

045 How Taking a Break is Good for Your Voice

043 Articulation 010: Exploring and Energising the Soft Palate for Extra Vocal Clarity
This week, it’s time to shake our soft palate a wee bit. We will perform a couple of exploratory exercises to help the soft palate stay flexible and responsive.
