How to make speech sounds - consonants


Listen Later

In this episode we focus on how we produce consonant sounds with our speech articulators. Lucas and Dani make lots of silly sounds trying to

understand what our speech muscles are doing to produce consonant sounds for speech. We encourage everyone who’s listening to join us in this exercise and think about how YOU pronounce certain sounds. This exercise can be quite difficult, especially if (like most people) you’ve never thought about what your facial muscles are actually doing when you speak, so don’t worry if you’re finding it hard!
