Tongue-Tie Tuesdays is back! “Challenging Speech Sounds”

Tongue-Tie Tuesday: Challenging Speech Sounds Welcome back to Tongue-Tie Tuesday talking about sounds of speech and singing. I had an accidental break last week, so focused on preparing my next conference presentation that I forgot about it! Here are some spins that are often challenging with tongue-tie. They are organised by which section of the tongue is most responsible for making the sound? Tip: /d/,  /l/,  /n/,  /s/,  /t/,  /z/,  /θ/ (th in breath),  /ð/ (th in thy) Mid: /r/ (retroflex r; roar),   /ʃ/ (sh in shell),   /ʒ/ (j, jardin),    /j/ (y, yellow),    /tʃ/ (ch church),  /ç/ (ich) Back: /g/,  /k/,  /ŋ/ (ng as in sing), /w/, /x/ (loch, Bach) Vowels are a bit more involved in a 3D sense, including height. But for ease I’ve used the same descriptors as the consonants: Tip: /i/ (beet), /I/ (sit), /e/ (gate) Mid: /ɛ/ (let), /æ/ (cat), /ə/ (sofa),  /ʌ/ (cup) Back: /a/ (father), ɔ (frog), /o/ (boat),  ʊ (foot), /u/ (loose) I’ve highlighted in red the most common problem sounds in singing with tongue-tie. I’ve left out the obvious sounds that can relate to a speech disorder, because probably most people who are singing can compensate enough to sound articulate. But a lisp is definitely a possibility. All the common vowels are included because they depend on whole tongue shape and lift. So there’s potential for any of these to be problematic. /i/ (beet) is challenging because the tongue is so high; ʊ (foot) is challenging because the tongue is further back in the pharynx, which is already narrow with the tongue-tie. – I used to feel uncomfortable introducing myself with ‘Jackie’ because it was hard to say; sometimes my own name didn’t come out right! – There are some symptoms that relate to articulation in singing.    – Big one: Jaw isolation and legato   – Vowel inconsistency and resonance   – Discomfort during or after, feeling like you have to ‘muscle’ it into place – /W/ highlighted due to lip tie; also /u/ (loose) and ʊ (foot) and flanging into bell for resonance Singing Symptoms Lack of resonance Persistent compensations Interrupted legato line Inconsistency across vowels, consonants Inability to lingual trill /r/ Orofacial/neck pain after singing I hope you’ve learned something today that shows you that tongue-tie DOES effect speech and singing. There are many wonderful speech pathologists out there who have done extra training to become orofacial myofunctional therapists, and who address function at a base level. This is important rather than addressing sound production only, and sometimes fixing function will fix the sounds as well. For the SLPs out there who are yet to address tongue-tie, get in on this; it is in the research and it is legit, with more research coming down the pipeline!
