I don't know about you, but when I was a kid, 
one of the funny faces that I loved making was the fish face.

過去簡單式

The lips are two wonderful articulators for many sounds:

B, P, F, V, M, W as well as rounding for vowels
and diphthongs like OO, [UH], AW, OH, OW.

Let's practice some relaxation exercises that will help
our lips become as flexible and versatile as possible.

Let's start by massaging the lips, 
which are really mostly skin and mucous membrane.

>> I can't do that because I'm wearing lip stick, 
but otherwise I would.

I like to spend some time on the corners of the lips, 
where there is some muscle that you can feel.

Now blow through your lips, 
like we're making the sound of an airplane or boat.

This can be a good chance to connect with your
support and blow through the lips from support.

>> I'm going to go higher than you.
>> Okay.

>> You know that really is hard. If you have an tension
in your lips, they won't do that. Singers do that too.

You can start by blowing through just with the breath, 
and then add voice to it.

Now, let's try the fish face.  Can you do it?

Now here again, let's drop our heads and shake the lips out.

>> You don't have to if you don't want to.
>> Well, it messes up my hair.

>> Wow.  So, when you're doing these exercises, 
try not to wear lipstick, and do it before you do your hair.

Now, let's work on some vowel sounds with the lips.

So the lips start very forward and rounded, 
and then pull back in the corners for that EE vowel.

And now, we're going to get the jaw involved on this next one.

We'll go from OO, where again the lips are rounded forward, 
into AW, AW, where the jaw will drop a bit.

Nice.  Now, drop your head and shake your lips out again, 
and you're done!

Tongue Relaxation, and the one that comes next, on Throat Relaxation.

Now, all of these exercises are new to me  as well, 
and they were taught to me by Tom.

He learned these exercises while he was getting his
master's degree in acting at Harvard University.

>> So Tom, thanks so much for lending your expertise to this series.
>> My pleasure.

That's it, and thanks so much for using Rachel's English.
