appreciate the kind words!

can you elaborate on changing pitches? In general what to expect inside of a thought group: the pitch will rise on the stressed syllable of a stressed word, the other syllables will drop If a stressed word falls on one of the first words of the thought group, all the other syllables will move down if a stressed word falls towards the end of the thought group, it doesn't mean that it will be the highest pitch necessarily--the highest pitch may be towards the beginning rising intonation is not the same as the stressed word all that said, without specifically hearing the phrases you are, it's hard to say exactly what the situation that you're encountering is

thanks for watching and writing! it sounds like your placement and breath are going back to your first language; check out our homepage at ua-cam.com/users/fluentamerican for playlists that focus on breath and placement

thank you as always!

Re: 1, can you elaborate? Re: 2, I'd say the differences have more to do with placement and breath

hey there! thanks for reaching out I understand about shows and popular media; I'm always a bit nervous about copyright, and while I understand that there are many channels built around fair use and adding to material that isn't originally theirs and I've done a little of it in the past, it's not a move I want to risk with the channel overall. I hope that makes sense!

@@FluentAmerican okay. Just a last question. Pitch and stress are applied to music?

@@GiancarlosClareslume-tr3yp for sure, they also appear when singing--these are aspects of spoken language

American English generally uses a wider range of pitches than romance languages like Romanian. A natural sound in English will require a mix of highs and lows. Romance languages tend to be flatter at the sentence level

@@FluentAmerican we do have a wide array of fluctuations in terms of pitch but i reffer at that base level; the normal level where everyone starts. I feel Romanian is much lower than American English in terms of the place where the emission happens

From my perspective working with Romanians, the sounds are generally not engaging the diaphragm to the same degree in my opinion. Compare similar vowels across the languages (e.g, /a/ in "stop" or /i/ in "leave", which have equivalent sounds in Romanian. The American English ones are lower with more breath.

Buona sera! Grazie per aver guardato!

thanks for sharing your experience! based on my experience here in the video (granted this was some time ago), the app does better with single words where syllables tend to receive more emphasis. In sentences where there are more reductions and linking, the app tends to struggle more unless you pronounce everything "perfectly", which isn't necessarily the most natural or realistic
