Not sure if you've come across this, but it's taken me years to be able to express a particular phenomenon I've noticed about Germans speaking English. In English it's customary to use a high pitch on the accented syllable when calling someone's name from afar. Example. JESS - i - ca! Pitch: HIGH - medium - medium However, when adding a greeting word BEFORE the name, we do this: HI, jess - i - ca! Pitch: HIGH - LOW - medium - medium I'm referring to pitch, not necessarily accent. Germans tend to do this: HI, JESS - i - ca! Pitch: HIGH - HIGH - medium - medium Do you follow my examples? I'm curious as to why it's idiomatic to do this in English, and why it doesn't seem idiomatic for Germans. (fyi, dozens of Germans have said similar phrases like this, so it's a significant sample size, not just one or two occurrences.)
Hello billie, I love your videos. They're very interesting.😊 But, can you teach us another entonation? Such as: take off, jacknife, high bound. Etc? Thanks
Hello Leila! I am happy to hear you like my videos :-) Did you mean you want some more videos on the topic of intonation? I have several more on my channel already. Have a look at them in this playlist: ruclips.net/video/UTuKCvK0RIQ/видео.html I wasn't sure what you wanted to know concerning the words ' take off, jacknife, high bound' ... what is about where they are stressed?
Hi! May I know is intonation just the same with pitch? This is going to be my lesson for my teaching demonstration but one of my mates have the lesson about intonation 😩
Thank you for your lessons! I have an off topic recommendation, it could be nice from you to put your audio through a DeEsser because the sssss sounds can hurt our ears when using headphones :(
Thank you so much for this tip! Yes, I actually noticed this myself but didn't know what to do about it so I was very happy to read your comment with the 'DeEsser' - I had never heard of this before. I have now researched how to add this to OBS but if you have any other recommendation, I'd be very grateful!
@@BillieEnglish Thank you for listening! I normally record my audio and video separately, that way I can work audio on Reaper (you can use any Audio Workstation of your preference) these programs have the "Low Pass Filter" plugin that allows you to cut those very high frequencies AKA the piercing sssss sounds, you can run your audio through an EQ (Equalization) plugin too, with it you can hear your audio and reduce frequencies that you don't like :)
Some Americans have very low pitch voice in normal speech which sounds unnatural and is almost never heard in British or European speakers, I wonder if they do it naturally or imitate it on purpose.
I think this video is very good, but really could use more demonstration of what low and high pitches sound like, and also how it sounds if the pitch changes, instead of just talking about it with words and pictures. Because, in the end, it's really about how it sounds, not what it looks like on a graph, or talking about a number of vibrations per second. You do have one demonstration at the beginning, with "hi", but I feel it's not enough. I have a language partner (a native Chinese speaker, oddly enough) who's really never understood what I mean by pitch, so my corrections to her speaking pitch just go over her head, and she has to just mock my pronunciation rather than understand the explanation.

No questions, every aspect is explained clearly. An excellent teacher
This was a great video! I couldn't find a video or website that explained it thoroughly before watching your video.
Could you please tell us how you've got such a beautiful voice? :) thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏

Sounds great! I'll happily receive this all from God :-)

Another superb lesson!!

Go check the "David Draiman" pitch range!
Crazy! This guy can hit some VERY high notes which is kind of funny since his musical genre is heavy metal!
@@BillieEnglish Also, if you have time, check out this guy "John Red" (he's red-haired).
Cheers ☺

Why is your accent mixed? Sometimes you pronounce the R in words and sometimes you don't. And I'm not talking about the linking or intrusive R.
