- Say Unvoiced Consonants With Mouth Air

We corrected some articulation problems in class last night. When F sounds and S sounds are too violent...you know, when it sounds a bit like Sylvester the cat...It's because there is too much "sub glottal  pressure".  Don't use the same breath support that you use for vowels and voiced consonants. That much support from the lungs makes the unvoiced consonants violent. If you say those unvoiced consonants just with "mouth air" they will be just right. An F or an S is like a drop of water on the stove:)
