  2. Vowel Matching Why is this such a big deal? Bet ---- Beet Unison = ONE - SOUND Should also mean One Vowel

  3. Vowel Matching • Sing within your “goalposts” • Show a bit of your top teeth all the time* • The tongue should lie on the floor of the mouth and be relaxed • Tip of tongue touch lower teeth • Keeps lips as relaxed as possible

  4. Correct Vowels Sound like the vowel Look like the vowel Feel like the vowel

  5. Vowels, Inside and Outside • EE • Stay within the goalposts • Show a bit of top teeth • Natural delivery, just like the ABC’s • AH • Stay within the goalposts • Show a bit of top teeth • Don’t drop jaw too far

  6. OH • Keep a bit of the top teeth showing • Use bottom lip to make most of the shape • Move corners forward from AH to OH • Leave the aperture higher on your face • Ooh • Show a bit of top teeth • Move corners forward from OH to Ooh • Smaller aperture than OH with relaxed lips. • Keep the sound outside your mouth

  7. Short Vowels • ih eh a uh ur • Stay within goalposts • Use a relaxed jaw, not a “dropped jaw” • Send the sound up and out

  8. Vowel Match Technique • “Jim Speak” credited to Jim Casey • Focus on target vowel sounds • Get to the target vowel immediately • No migrating from the target vowel • Prematurely turning to secondary vowel and/or the following consonant
