Thanks a lot, you are a really good teacher! I also think that one of the problems with singing an Adele-song might be that there're always people trying to copy the "Adele-Sound", which is quite rough especially in the higher range. So if they're copying her sound "in a wrong way", this might also cause some kind of problems.

Hi Justin. I sing a song from Wicked (called the Wizard and I) and during the song it has a big "I" vowel in it, at the end, many of the people who played the part belt the vowel inside the mouth instead of pushing the sound back into the nasal placement, Is it still safe to belt inside the mouth?.

@leahyodico9818 3 жыл бұрын

It makes sense; I, as to kIll, the deadly vowel. I have the same problem too.

@crowmisfits 5 жыл бұрын

I had to figure this out on my own before i found this video because my "i"s were sounding kind of rough. I find it's easier to think of approach of an "i" more like "ai" like in Thailand with a little bit of an "a" as in apple sounds at the start.

I usually pronounce my "I" quite close to an "ah" vowel, but that maybe due to my accent as I'm Australian, as well as my speed because I talk quite quickly, lots of people have trouble understanding me due to how fast I speak. If I exaggerate vowel sounds when speaking then my "I" then I'll start on "ah" and quickly move to an "ee".
