The one thing that makes the biggest difference for my students speaking English is also the

對我的學生來說，英語口語最大的不同之處還在於

形容詞最高級

hardest thing to teach and to learn, and that makes it kind of frustrating.

最難教和最難學的東西，這讓人有點沮喪。

現在進行式

But today, we're talking about placement, we're taking it apart, we're going there.

但今天，我們說的是安置，我們要把它拆開，我們要去那裡。

Today, I'm working with a student and you're going to see the tips and tricks that I give

今天，我和一個學生一起工作，你要看到我給的技巧和訣竅。

Now, I've been teaching pronunciation for years, and in the past month, I've learned

現在，我教了多年的發音，在過去的一個月裡，我學到了

something that's totally new even to me, and that's another tip to help lower placement.

的東西，是完全新的，甚至對我來說，這是另一個提示，以幫助降低放置。

The other night, I was filming a video and it reminded me of a live class that I taught

前幾天晚上，我拍了一個視頻，它讓我想起了我教過的一個直播課。

a couple months ago, and I went bam in my mind, I realized it.

幾個月前，我心裡咣噹一聲，我意識到了。

No, I wasn't filming it, I was editing it, and as I was right here focusing on the reduction

不，我沒有拍攝它，我正在編輯它， 而當我在這裡專注於減少。

of the word was, I realized reductions help lower placement.

的詞是，我意識到裁員有助於降低安置。

So we're going to see an excerpt from a live class where I started to get it.

所以我們要看一個直播課的節選，我開始懂了。

I'm teaching a woman named Karen, she's Dutch, she has very good English, but we're working

我在教一個叫凱倫的女人，她是荷蘭人，她的英語很好，但我們在工作。

If the word placement is completely new to you, it basically means where in the body

如果你對 "放置 "這個詞完全陌生，它的基本意思是指在身體的什麼地方。

In American English, we have a low placement.

在美式英語中，我們的地位很低。

And other languages have a higher placement often more here, aaah, aaah, but our core

而其他語言在這裡的地位往往更高，啊啊啊，但我們的核

feeling uhhh is lower and that has to do with the neck and the pitch.

感覺uhhh是較低的，這與脖子和音高有關。

-Okay, so you know what vocal cords, you've heard that term?

-好吧，你知道什麼是聲帶，你聽說過這個詞嗎？

- Yes, okay, so we have these two mucousy membranes.

- 是的，好的，所以我們有這兩層粘膜。

The air blows up, they vibrate, and that's what makes ah, a sound.

空氣吹起來，它們就會震動，這才會發出啊，聲音。

And we can't change that; that's involuntary.

而我們無法改變，那是不自願的。

But what we can change is the voice box around it, and pushing it forward, pulling it back,

但我們能改變的是周圍的語音信箱，並把它往前推，往後拉。

lifting it up, lifting it down, and then that affects the shape of the inside of our neck.

上提，下提，然後就會影響到我們脖子裡面的形狀。

And other languages, each language has its own specific neck shape, how we hold our muscles

而其他語言，每一種語言都有自己特定的頸部形狀，我們如何保持我們的肌肉。

And in American English, I think that most students need to focus on opening and lowering,

而在美式英語中，我認為大部分學生需要注重開闊和降低。

and that changes the shape of the neck in a way that brings the formants down which

這改變了頸部的形狀，從而使頸部的能量下降

If you're watching this and you're thinking, I want to learn more about that, the anatomy

如果你在看這個，你在想，我想了解更多關於，解剖學的知識

of the voice, what can affect placement, check out my video, the number one accent trick.

的聲音，什麼會影響到位置，請看我的視頻，頭號口音技巧。

We go so deep on anatomy and placement and something called formants which can affect

我們在解剖學和位置上做了很深入的研究，還有一種叫做 "formants "的東西，它可以影響到我們的生活

Our vocal cords and our voice box, if it starts to lift up, or

我們的聲帶和我們的聲帶盒，如果它開始抬起來，或

push forward, or pull back, which it might when we're tense, or when we're feeling nervous,

向前推，或向後拉，當我們緊張時，或當我們感到緊張時，它可能會這樣做。

that that is going to negatively impact the overall sound.

那是會對整體聲音產生負面影響的。

And, for some people, it makes it sound really nasal and high, and for other people it's

而且，對於一些人來說，它使它聽起來真的 鼻腔和高，而對於其他人來說，它是。

more subtle, like for you it makes it sound more proper in a way that's a little old fashioned.

更加微妙，就像對你來說，這讓它聽起來更合適的方式，這是一個有點老式的。

Again, not negative, but just sort of different than the way an American would probably present.

同樣，也不是消極的，只是和美國人可能會呈現的方式有點不同。

An American would speak with a lower pitch, and they would have those

美國人說話的音調會低一些，他們會有那些。

Okay, to sound more natural speaking English, you want lower placement.

好吧，為了讓英語口語聽起來更自然，你要降低位置。

Hi, my name is Karen, hi, hi, and then try lowering It, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, my name is

嗨，我的名字是凱倫，嗨，嗨，然後嘗試降低它，嗨，嗨，嗨，嗨，嗨，我的名字是。

Karen, and just See, with lowering the pitch, What that feels like.

凱倫，看看降低音調後是什麼感覺？

Probably the lower you go, hi, my name is Karen, hi.

可能你走的越低，嗨，我叫凱倫，嗨。

Obviously you're not going to speak there, but you should go there and practice to see

顯然，你不會在那裡說話，但你應該去那裡練習，看看。

and sense what is changing in your throat.

And what you'll find, the lower you go, is that you have to really feel like your throat

你會發現，你越往下走，你就越要感覺到你的喉嚨

is getting wide, and that's sort of the feeling that you want even when you're not speaking

越來越寬，這就是你想要的那種感覺，即使你不說話的時候

so you can pretend, you can play with speaking really low, to sort of discover what that

所以，你可以假裝，你可以玩 與說話真的很低， 排序發現什麼是

does to your throat, and then try to keep that open feeling as you bring your pitch

喉嚨，然後嘗試保持這種開放的感覺，因為你把你的音調。

up to something that's a little bit more natural.

到的東西，這是一個有點更自然。

One question I get asked a lot is when I practice my throat starts to hurt, is that okay?

有一個問題我經常被問到，就是我練功的時候喉嚨開始疼，可以嗎？

Someone is saying, "Does it hurt when you lower your pitch?"

有人說："你降低音調的時候會不會很疼？"

It doesn't, and it shouldn't, but if it hurts when

它不，它不應該，但如果它的傷害，當

you lower it really low, that's okay, you're only going to do it for a second just to feel

你把它降得很低，沒關係，你只需要做一秒鐘，只是為了感覺到

But definitely, as you play Karen, do sense strain, because strain, I think, is a sign

但是當你扮演凱倫的時候 肯定會感覺到緊張 因為我覺得緊張是一個標誌

of a lifting of the voice box, and we want the opposite.

的解除語音信箱，而我們要的是相反的。

We want a lowering, opening, so if you ever find, ah, my

我們想要一個降低，開口，所以，如果你曾經發現，啊，我的。

Throat is getting really sore, or my neck, or my tongue, you know, your tongue, the base

喉嚨變得非常疼痛，或我的脖子，或我的舌頭，你知道，你的舌頭，底部。

of your tongue, is attached here to your neck.

你的舌頭，在這裡連接到你的脖子。

And if you're ever feeling fatigued, that's a sign that, okay, stop, take a break, shake

如果你感到疲憊，那就是一個信號，好吧，停下來，休息一下，搖搖。

So if you're having neck pain, take a break, try to think open and low, and relax a little

所以，如果你的頸部疼痛，可以休息一下，試著想開點、低點，稍微放鬆一下。

Now, let's start working with Karen on reductions.

現在，讓我們開始與凱倫合作，減少。

And I run a business that Helps people sell more.

我經營著一家幫助人們銷售更多的企業。

- Okay, so, and I run a business, beautiful, but a little bit of that formality, and.

- 好吧，所以，和我做生意，漂亮，但有點那個形式，和。

Let's try, well, let's try to reduce that.

讓我們嘗試，好吧，讓我們嘗試減少。

And I run a business, and I run, and I run, so i'm going to have you Bring in that reduction,

我是做生意的，我也是做生意的，我也是做生意的 所以我要讓你把那筆錢拿過來。

and I run, and i'm going to have you bring down the pitch, and I run a business.

我經營，我將有你帶下來的球場， 我經營的生意。

Right, let's just see what happens if you bring it lower.

好吧，我們就看看如果你把它降低會發生什麼。

Right, you know, so the one you just did before that sounded pretty good, but the placement

對了，你知道，所以你剛才做的那個之前，聽起來還不錯，但位置。

still felt high and then when you brought it down more, it didn't seem like too much,

還是覺得很高，然後當你把它更多的時候，它似乎並沒有太多。

and then the feeling was that sort of American chest feeling.

然後感覺就是那種美國人的胸懷。

And I run a business, and I run a business.

我經營著一家企業，我也經營著一家企業。

So we're doing a reduction, we're bringing in a reduction that she wasn't doing and we're

是以，我們正在做的減少，我們帶來的減少，她沒有這樣做，我們是。

Right, and I love that, and I run a business.

對，我喜歡這樣，我也是做生意的。

Take it down way lower than you know it should be.

把它降到比你知道的更低的方式。

And, actually, this is something that will be fun for you to do.

而實際上，這對你來說是一件很有趣的事情。

Take one phrase like this, and then record yourself doing all sorts of different things

以這樣的一句話，然後記錄自己做的各種不同的事情。

And, when you're going back and listening, and be like, "ah, I love that one", and then

當你回過頭來聽的時候，會覺得 "啊，我喜歡這首歌"，然後...

play it, imitate it, play it, imitate it, play it, imitate it.

玩吧，模仿吧，玩吧，模仿吧，玩吧，模仿吧。

And then these are just things that can help unlock that feeling, and the thing about the

然後這些只是可以幫助解開這種感覺的東西，而關於

feeling is, once we find that, that affects everything that you say ever, you know, so like working on

感覺是，一旦我們發現，這將影響一切 你說過，你知道，所以像工作上的

placement can really just transform everything about how you speak and for other people out

安置可以真的只是改變一切關於你如何說話，併為其他人了。
