Definitely! Have they tried the techniques I gave here? Here is another video on producing the /s/ clearly: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rotbw6YL9vw.html
as a 15 year old i get insecure because of my lisp and i’m happy that i wear a mask at school. its been a month now since i tried to to fix my lisp but i haven’t been able to fix it
I'm so sorry to hear this, Neyo. I'd love to help you, can you ask your parents if we can have a consult online? What kind of lisp are we talking about, let me know! ✨
Same here... Same here....and same age ... i know why i have a lisp is because my teeth are like f@@@cked up and the s sound is projecting out through the side which means a lateral lisp.... I need braces
im only 10, but 5th grade can be brutal. my mom says, your still a little kid. youll fix it. and it turns out, she was right! this and other vidioes helped me completely master it! im still used to lisping, but with a little pratice, i will be speaking nomally. thx, kaye!!!! XD😄
Hi Keanne, I'm sorry to hear this 🥺 I hope I can help you. Have you tried the tips on this video? It's not going to be instant, you will need to let me know what type of lisp you have so I can give you more advice. You can book 1-on-1 coaching with me on Facebook also. Let me know!
I have the same problem and I am an adult. It really affects one's self confidence when you notice people laughing at you but they never tell you why. I end up keeping quiet when I'm out or if I talk I try to dodge the letter s and it becomes even more embarrassing. Keeping the tongue tip behind the lower front teeth seems to be improving the situation.
It makes me worry a lot about my lisp now that I'm moving up as a senior highschool student and it's really hard for me to prounce "s" though its not that worse but sometimes my tongue feels heavy when I'm pronouncing it
My child is 5 yrs old. Youngest of three. He is the only one who can't pronounce S sound. It sounded like D. Around me thinks it will correct itself as he grows up. It always bothers me whenever he speaks the S sound. Often we can't understand what he's saying. A PUZZLE sound PADDLE, hes FISH is FIT.
Hello! I have another video for producing the /s/ here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rotbw6YL9vw.html Also, it's possible that instead of being a motor difficulty (not assuming the right position), it's a Phonological problem (the child is not very aware of when the /s/ is required in a word). If it is, it's a process called Stopping, and you can learn about it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8It3FQ-bLg8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eXH2MRvUmng.html Hope these help ✨
age: 24. i have the most common type of lisp (interdental) i want to say "used to" because i think and believe that i already fixed it but i felt like it won't be perfectly gone until my teeth get aligned with braces (currently open bite) so even if i am pronouncing "s" correctly, it still appear as if i have lisp because my tounge would still show given the gap between my lower and upper front teeth. also, like everyone else i never realized it until i watch a recorded video of myself. never noticed it even when practicing in front of the mirror. i was also easily understood when i deliver messages but the fact that my lisp shows in videos honestly affects my self-esteem. i hate it when my friends record videos of us, i cant help but feel awkward. it''s also hard for me when work demands videos given our wfh setup, even had a time when i dont want to speak to people anymore as i feel like they would see noting but the way i pronounce "s". want to pursue a career that requires interaction with talents. i have no problems with my verbal skills, but i feel like having this lisp affects the way i sound. /sighs;
I can feel your frustration, and I'm sorry it's affecting your self-esteem. Just based on your description of your teeth, you may still be able to make minor adjustments, such that your tongue does not go beyond "the cage" of your teeth, even if your mouth is slightly ajar. I'm trying a different position: slightly more curled tongue-tip, so that the sides of the tip are forming a smaller tunnel for the air to flow through the middle. (That might be hard to imagine, but I hope it gets you experimenting on your tongue positions more). Also -- we are all so much more than our speech production. ✨ It's tough, especially when we sometimes feel bad about things that we wish were different, but you sound like a person of so much self-awareness, honesty, and determination, and those are so much more important than a crisp /s/ 😉 Good luck, and I hope you don't give up!
Excellent video. But I have one question about how many Gen z'ers pronounce words like: didn't or couldn't. They seem to come out like: "I dinnent" or "I connent." Another pronunciation I don't understand is instead of important, it comes out "impornnant" I 've been a voice actor for five decades and none of my producers have ever suggested I eliminate the "T" sound in any of my words. What's up with no "T" sound in young people's words?🤔
Thank you! Regarding these examples you gave above, I don't think it's a generation thing, because it isn't common in our culture, where English is a dominant 2nd language. Instead, I believe it could be a affected by cultural and regional accents in the US? For example, the way I said these words in my head (based on how you spelled them) remind me of accents found in the South. From a Speech-Language Pathologist perspective, it could also be a Phonological Process -- a simplification of certain words -- and in this case, it drops certain consonants to blend a succeeding consonant, like a co-assimilation. That was interesting of you to observe, thanks for reaching out ✨
Aww Jhazie 🥺 Ngayon alam mo na ang rason sa tunog ng S mo, kaya mong maging aware sa posisyon niya. Hindi madali ito, kasi babaguhin mo talaga ang natural na nakasanayan ng bibig mo (tinatawag nating muscle memory), pero KAYA MO YAN 🙌🏽 Kung kailangan mo ng tulong, you can book an appointment with me, pero subukan mo munang hanapin ang tamang posisyon ng S mo, base sa tips ng video.
Hi Areeba, have you tried these tips? I have another video on producing the /s/ here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rotbw6YL9vw.html If these don't work, I hope you can ask your grown-ups to see a Speech Therapist, who can figure out what is causing the difficulty and give you further instruction ✨
hey, i have a dentalized lisp and i still don’t know how to fix it i’ve heard it’s not that noticeable but some other people say it’s annoying so what are easy ways to fix it if there are any. also my mom says to get a song crib but i’m afraid it’ll sound even more dumb untill it’s fixed so any more info on those two things would be great!
Hi, I'm sorry to hear you feeling frustrated about this, hope I can help. Do you mean you've tried the tips I said in this video, but none of them worked? If you can take a video of yourself talking with S sounds, and send it to my IG or Facebook @teacherkayetalks, I may be able to give you better advice
no like i can say s but it’s really inconsistent, some days i’ll say it just fine but most days it’s a habit where i stick my tongue out and to me it’s a lot faster than to just close my teeth
Is it normal for the sides of the tongue to press into the sides of the upper teeth to the point that marks are formed when making the s sound? I’m trying to fix my speech and would like to avoid shifting my teeth through improper tongue placement. Can you further explain this? When I curl my tongue to form a “wind tunnel” it slightly touches my front pre-molars. Is that okay? I also normally slightly move my tongue to the right when making the s sound.... yet another mistake that I must correct. Any tips of visualization to center my tongue position?
I'm so sorry that it's taken me 2 years to see this, but no: if marks are formed, that means there is too much pressure, that may cause you discomfort, and not really improving airflow? I hope you have made progress since then, and wish you the best ✨
Hello! Do you mean that even at rest, your tongue spills out of your cage (teeth) when closed? If so, it seems that anatomically your tongue is larger for your oral cavity, and there are no corrective treatments for that. So I suggest we find you a compensatory technique to find the best alternative placement to help you produce the sounds better. Let me know if you want a consultation with me. ✨
Hi! I don't have a lot of experience with it, but I do know the possible causes and how to theoretically correct it. Does this happen for all your /s/ sounds, whether producing the sound by itself, or in syllables, words, or connected speech? What about your /z/ sounds? How can I help you? Would you like to schedule a consult?
Hello! I have a dentalized lisp and I didn’t notice it until I started recording videos of myself doing it. What’s really weird is that it gets worse when ice touches my tongue. I’ve tried everything you’ve mentioned and it still doesn’t work. I have no way of messaging you on any social media so I was wondering if you have any tips for me? I’m really insecure about it lol, btw I also have braces so would that effect it in any way?
Hello HoranDog! It's difficult to give you advice without seeing you, because most of the tips here are for very general descriptions of the problem. So if these techniques did not work, then likely the cause of your lisp may be something I didn't cover. If you could send me links to the videos you've recorded of yourself, I may have a better impression of the problem. Some things to consider: - like I said in the video, it may be a structural issue. Yes, braces may affect this if you have elastics that get in the way of your tongue's movement. Gap teeth may also cause "whistling" sounds. - when anything cold touches our skin, our vessels constrict and our muscles become less pliant. This may effect mobility, range of motion, and control of your tongue, if your tongue has any weakness of sorts. - dentalized lisps are usually problems with tongue placement and/or pressure applied on the ridge, thus causing the air to escape in the wrong places. Could you try finding different parts of your ridge to put your tongue again (you said you've tried this), but this time, make a "T" / "tuh" sound, then from that same placement, make the sound effect of like a deflating tire (tsssss). It's a helpful transition sounds. It'd really be better if I had more detail. I'm not sure if you meant you have no social media accounts (because I do: they're @teacherkayetalks on both Facebook and Instagram) -- you may send videos there too. I may be able to give more specific advice. Hope this helps! ✨
@@perksofbeingadeadpoet Hello! Awareness is the first and BIGGEST step, so you're in the right direction! Did you try any of the tips here? Let me know how else I can help you! ✨
As a person who wanted a career in voice actor.. I beat the lisp when I pretend to be my elders.. I took their cadence the lisp dropped. Those that know me see an improve. So I beat the lisp when I pretend to be someone I'm not.. By the way I use British English because I grew up England as a black person
Wow, this is SO interesting, and would love to share this tidbit with others who may also benefit from this psychological technique! ✨ Thank you for sharing!
The three different types of lisps you show us at the beginning of the video, I notice that I fit the second/middle (the strident lisp). I had a teacher in middle school that I practiced correct speech and specifically the lips sound with but it seems to not have helped me. Going to practice with you! Thanks for sharing this informative and helpful video.
Hello teacher kaye , ask ko lang po my son is 4yrs old speech delay po sya 2-3word palang po nsasabi nyang words , & recently lanh nmin nakita yung uvula nya na may hati yung bell nag search po kmi meron syang bifid uvula ask ko lang po kung nka encounter napo kayo ng gnung case , super woried napo ksi ako , pero dhil sa pandemya hindi kopa po sya mapa check up sa ent or mapa speech therapy
Hello Bry! Wala pa ho akong naging pasyente na may-bfid uvula, pero inaral din po namin yan. Kalimitan po ay wala naman itong epekto sa speech and language, maliban nalang ho kung mayroon ding submucous cleft (or hati sa ilalim na parte ng muscles), at yun po ang makaka-apekto sa tunog ng pananalita o sa pagkain ng tao. (Kamusta po ba ang pagkain ng bata?) Yung nasasabi po ba niyang words ay klaro naman? Kung klaro po, at ang concern ay kulang ang ALAM niyang sabihin, wala na ho itong kinalaman sa uvula niya. Posibleng may speech delay po yung bata. Maraming posibleng rason ang speech delay, pero ang isang maaari nating tignan ay kung exposed ang bata sa digital media/videos sa TV o gadgets. Kung nanonood ang bata ng videos, kahit po "educational," itigil po muna, mas lalo kung nakakapansin tayo ng kakaibang behavior (speech delay). Gusto natin masigurado na hindi ito factor sa kanyang developmental delay. Subukan niyo po muna ng 1 to 2 weeks, at tignan po natin if may mapansin kayong improvement sa behavior and overall attention. Andito ang paliwanag kung anong nangyayari sa brains ng baby kapag nanonood ng videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OmZvmt-6Zug.html Signs of Screen Addiction -- kasama po diyan ang speech delay: instagram.com/p/CRJYfz7j_wq/ Subukan niyo ho ang technique na ito, para maparami natin ang nasasabi ng bata: Extension / Expansion ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vnogwBiPm14.html Para po mas makaksigurado tayong wala ibang problema, sana po makapag-consulta sa pedia o devpedia, meron po akong iilang kilala sa IG na nagcoconsulta online. Makikita niyo po sa mga username nila kung pedia o devped sila -- pakihanap nalang po sa lista ng Followed accounts ko. instagram.com/teacherkayetalks/ Sana makatulong ito ✨
Ibig sabihin po ay meron kang Lateral Lisp, tulad ng pinaliwanag ko sa video. Kailangan po makahanap ka ng position ng dila na parang nakalutang lang siya sa bibig mo (imbis na naka-pisa sa taas o baba ng bibig) kung kaya yung hangin ay dumadaloy sa gilid. Sana makatulong ito ✨
Hi Mart! It would be better to get an assessment where I can see you, because I'd have to check if you have any anotomical issues causing your lisp (like shape and size of your tongue, or your jaw area). Usually, if there are no physical issues, a lateral lisp really needs a lot of practice directing your air forward instead of to the side. Have you tried practicing with the straw like I suggested? If you'd like to consult with me, you can set an appointment on my Facebook page: facebook.com/teacherkayetalks/ I'd love to help you, and it may only take a session and some offline practice on your end. Let me know ✨
Hi Maam , Paano po talaga ,hirap talaga ako S at Z ,since bata pa ako , Maliit ba talaga Dila ko o di ko lang talaga alam paano ipronounce😔 ,nong bata ako lagi Bully tinatawanan pag Nagbabasa ako at Pag Nag sasabi ako Pangalan ko Inulit ulit pa nila tanongin sa May Z pelyido ko, gang ngayon dpa rin talaga kaya ,always ako nagtatry ,wla parin , buti naiintindihan ako ng Asawa ko , 😥
You will have to be aware that the /s/ happens in both the first and last parts of the word, so whatever the position you practice here, you have to do it twice in a word! That won't be easy for something trying to un/learn their /s/, but YOU CAN DO IT ✨
honestly po parang ahas po yung dila ko tas mahaba haha pero as of now progress pa rin po ako to get rid out of lisp. however tanong ko lng po sa taas po ba talaga dapat ang dila while pronouncing s or sa baba kasi sa baba po ako sanay and mostly napapanood ko majority ng tutorials dito sa yt, sa taas nakaposition ang tongue. Pero nung tinry ko, anhirap po sa baba talaga ako sanay. Any tips po? Insecure na po ako ngayon kung pano ba talaga :(
Hi (Nilagang Patatas - yum!) Yes, sa taas talaga, and kung sa baba talaga yung habitual oral placement mo, that explains the lisp! It will really take lots of speech drills, and if hindi mo napapansin, someone to help you monitor, para the muscle memory will re-adjust. I made another /s/ video here: /s/ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rotbw6YL9vw.html Kung masubukan mo na lahat ng tips ko, and you think nothing is stil working, I will really need to assess you personally to understand why. Hope this helps!
Kumusta po PagBigkas mo Ng " S" ? sa Baba ba dila po o sa taas ,Since bata pa ako hirap talaga ako sa S 😅 , Minsan tinatawanan ako buti na lang may friends ako na nakakaintindi sakin
Hi That One! Have you tried the tips on this video, and how have they been going for you? Remember that it won't work immediately, so you will have to try them every day. If you need more help, you can set an appointment with me on my Facebook page: facebook.com/teacherkayetalks/ Hope to help you! ✨
Hi, I am Devon. I’m 21 years old & I am trying to correct my speech impediment. I would like to have a consultation with you please let me know how I can reach out! Thank you.
