@eriksinger513: How to make an American R sound (R sounds are super weird, part 2 of 2). Americans use a variety of different tongue shapes to make R sounds, but most of them are "bunched" or "molar." It's really all about the sides of your tongue. Here's how to do it! #accents #dialects #phonetics #rhotics #rhoticity #dialectcoaching #accenttips

Erik can you please talk about "crispy r's?" I HATE that terminology, but I've wondered about this specific thing ever since I was a kid.

Who's sitting there watching this making R sounds over and over, trying to feel what you're doing with your tongue? 🙋‍♀️

As a speech therapist the R is one of the hardest sounds to teach to the kiddos !

I’d love to know why accents like Australian and British sound like they make an “r” on words that end in A.

I have a “general” American accent. “R” isn’t difficult for me unless a W is involved. “World War” “Wheelbarrow” are the hardest ones. 😅

Can you do a video on the Irish "R" sounds? I grew up in-between the US and Ireland and I make both sounds depending on who I'm surrounded by but I don't necessarily understand what I'm changing in my mouth.

How do other regions make an r sound? As a Californian, I don't know how to make it another way!

Ahh so the 1st ‘here there and everywhere’ is fairly close to Australian. When I lived in Canada I found I had to focus on adding Rs back into my accent to be understood!

Apparently how long singers draw out an R and how heavily they hit it changes depending on genres. Broadway training teaches people to use the R as a quick transition, country singers and R&B will really stretch out an R sound.
