VOCAL SKILLS AND HOW TO IMPROVE: IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH S’S

S often slides back to SH when followed by other consonants, especially TR

Practise the differences between S and SH.

For S, the tip of your tongue is very close to the roof of your mouth, near your top teeth.

For SH, you will feel a bit of pressure in the sides of your tongue.

Go quickly from one to the other:

S-SH

Then quit slowly practise sliding from S to TR.

Your lips should come forward as you move into the R to give room for the tongue to make the proper shape.
