A Phonetic Map of the Human Mouth

This infographic from Language Base Camp shows where the sounds that English speakers use are produced in the mouth and throat.

I’ve had zero voice training in my life, so it was really illuminating to speak all of the different sounds while paying close attention to where in my mouth they were happening. Try it!

Update: And after pronouncing the sounds yourself, take a few minutes to play around with Pink Trombone. Fun! (via @pixelcult)
