Michelle Yeoh's Idiolect

Michelle Yeoh's Idiolect

In honor of Michelle Yeoh's 2023 Oscar for Best Actress (the first time it has been won by an Asian), I want to share with you how I listen to people's individual speech patters, or idiolects.

Specifically, I point out pronunciation or articulation differences between how Michelle Yeoh and I speak.

I show you how to listen and notice differences in your jaw, tongue, and lips when producing vowels, voicing using your vocal folds, Rs in different accents in English, Regular Ls vs Dark Ls, how much air comes out in your plosive sounds (P, T, and K), syllable stress, linking sounds together, and how some consonants blend together or might form something new.

There are two other things that aren't related to pronunciation that we can notice in Michelle Yeoh if we listen for them: her placement (head voice) and her oral posture.
