Tip number one.
第一条建议。
You should do some warmup activities.
你应该做一些热身活动。
I'm not sure if any of you are singers, but singers will often warm up their voice before they sing in front of people.
我不确定在座的各位中是否有人是歌手，但歌手通常会在公开场合唱歌之前先进行热身活动（也就是让嗓子适应演唱状态）。
These same techniques can be very good to help you develop the right muscles and motion of your mouth to make English sounds.
这些相同的技巧对于帮助你锻炼出正确的口腔肌肉、掌握正确的发音动作（从而发出英语中的各种音素）非常有效。
I actually do warmups before I do my livestream on Fridays.
实际上，每周五进行直播之前，我都会先做一些热身运动。
I don't sing during my livestream, but I want my voice to be ready.
我在直播期间不会唱歌，但我希望自己的嗓音状态能够保持良好（即随时可以用来唱歌）。
You can do something like this.
你可以这样做。
You can go e-e-e, e-e-e, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah.
你可以这样唱：e-e-e, e-e-e, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah。
Sorry.
对不起。
It sounds a little silly.
这听起来有点傻。
You might wanna do this where someone can't see you.
你最好在别人看不到你的地方做这件事。
And you might wanna practice your consonants as well.
你或许也该练习一下辅音的发音。
T-T-T, P-P-P, Th-Th-Th.
T-T-T，P-P-P，Th-Th-Th。
If you do this regularly, it will help you develop the right muscles in order to make the right English sounds.
如果你能定期这样做，将有助于你锻炼出所需的肌肉，从而发出正确的英语发音。
Tip number two.
第二条建议：
Make a video of yourself speaking English.
录制一个你自己用英语说话的视频。
The best way to do this would
最好的方法是……
be to find a video of someone else speaking English and then record yourself saying the same things as the person in the video.
首先需要找到一段别人用英语讲话的视频，然后自己录制一段内容，模仿视频中那个人说的话。
Then you can compare the two videos.
然后你就可以对比这两个视频了。
You can look at how the person in the original video makes the sounds.
你可以观察一下原始视频中那个人是如何发出那些声音的。
You can look at how they form
你可以观察它们是如何形成的。
the sounds with their mouth and then
他们用嘴巴发出各种声音……
you can watch your video and see if you're making the same shapes with your mouth when you try to say the same things.
你可以观看自己的视频，看看在尝试说同样的词语时，你的嘴巴是否真的形成了相同的形状。
So tip number two, make a video
那么，第二条建议就是：制作一个视频。
of yourself speaking English, and it's best to find someone else in a video speaking English and copy them and then compare the two.
你可以先观察自己说英语时的情况；最好的办法是找一个在视频中也在说英语的人，模仿他们的发音，然后再对比自己和他/她的发音。
And then try to correct how you're forming each sound with your mouth.
然后试着调整自己用嘴巴发出每个音素的方式（即调整发音的技巧）。
Again, this might look a little silly, but it's a very good tip.
再说一次，这个建议可能看起来有点傻，但实际上非常有用。
Tip number three.
建议三：
Record yourself.
把自己录制下来。
This might sound a little bit like tip number two, but I want you to only record the audio this time.
这听起来可能有点像第二条建议的内容，但我这次希望你们只录制音频部分。
Again, find a recording of someone speaking English and try to record yourself saying the same thing.
再次，请找一段有人用英语说话的录音，然后试着自己也录下说同样的内容。
Then listen to it and compare it to the original.
然后听一听这个版本，并将其与原版进行比较。
And in this situation, don't do it right away.
在这种情况下，不要立刻采取行动。
Record yourself and listen to it the next day or listen to it a few days later.
先把自己说话的过程录下来，第二天再听一遍，或者几天后再听一遍。
Have you ever noticed that when you hear yourself on a recording, you don't always sound like yourself?
你是否注意到：当你在录音中听到自己的声音时，听起来并不总是像自己平时的声音？
This can really help.
这真的会很有帮助。
This can help you to identify the things that you've said wrong and it can help you correct them.
这可以帮助你发现自己说错的地方，并帮助你加以改正。
