  • everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question today's

  • question is about voiced versus voiceless sounds in several words word

  • number one is incite to encourage inside and inner part of something decease

  • death and disease an illness in the body so let's go ahead and look at these

  • words we have incite inside decease disease let's first talk about that we

  • are going to be stressing syllable number two in all of these words the

  • syllable number one in all the words is going to be a little bit shorter a

  • little bit softer and a little bit lower in pitch we have in and duh in and duh

  • those are the first syllables what we're really talking about today though are

  • these voiced versus voiceless sound so let's focus more on that so both of

  • these words are going to be starting with the second syllable will be

  • starting with the s and then it's going to be the long I Sai Sai but here's

  • where the difference comes in the T versus the D for in sight we're going to

  • end with a T sound which has no voicing and means that the voice box is not

  • vibrating it is off the voice will be on and vibrating for the D sound in side

  • what this does is when we have this voiceless sound the vowel before it is

  • going to sound a little bit shorter than the exact same vowel will sound a little

  • bit longer when it's before the voiced D sound

  • so we have incite inside incite inside let's look at our second set of

  • words we have decease and disease so for sees

  • we're gonna start with an s again its voiceless the voice box is not moving

  • we're going to add that long e we're gonna end in another s which is a

  • voiceless sound cease cease decease decease again moving on to that voice

  • sound which is going to have the voice box vibrating it's going to make that

  • vowel sound longer in between even though it's the same e sound that gets

  • so confusing for most of my students which is vowels that are exactly the

  • same can be a little bit longer in some words than others and this is the case

  • here so when we say zeez down here start with the Z zzzz voice box is on and

  • moving move to that long e and then end with another Z so we have decease

  • disease decease disease in sight inside decease disease so again all about

  • voice versus voiceless voice boxes on means it's vibrating that sound is going

  • to be a little bit harder and it's going to make the vowel before it sound longer

  • as well so let's try all of our words incite inside decease disease incite

  • inside decease disease so the teachers are hoping to incite more studying by

  • posting the exam scores about disease causing people to decease when they post

  • the grades inside of the classroom that is a terrible sentence but give it a try

  • people are going to notice the difference if you found this helpful
