VOCAL SKILLS AND HOW TO IMPROVE

14. IF YOU PRONOUNCE TH PRONOUNCED AS F

Exercise:

 

Practice the difference between F and TH.

For F, your top teeth touch your bottom lip.

For TH, the tip of your tongue almost touches the back of your top teeth.

You can make TH in two different ways: one is all breath and the other is vibration.

The breath TH is in the words:

 

  • Theatre
  • Through
  • Thief
  • Wealth

 

The vibrating TH is in the words:

 

  • This
  • Then
  • Feather
  • Breathe

 

Go quickly from one to the other:

 

TH –F

TH -F

TH –F

TH -F
