Voicing is when your vocal cords are vibrating in your throat, creating a buzzing sound. Say Ahhhh. Can you feel the vibrations in your neck? All vowels are voiced. Some consonants are voiced, some are not. Paired Consonants:
P&B T&D F&V SH&ZSH K&G S&Z Three rules for S&Z endings Rule 1
If a word ends in a sound that is unvoiced (such as P, T, K, F), you add an unvoiced /S/ Examples:
1 cup, 2 cups (the p in cup is unvoiced, so you just add an unvoiced s) 1 cat, 2 cats (the t in cat is unvoiced, so just add an unvoiced s) I break, he breaks I stop, he stops Rule 2
If a word ends in any of these sounds: s, z, sh, ch, or dg (j), when adding an S ending, add IZZZZZZ Examples:
1 Page 2 Pages 1 Bus 2 Buses 1 Lunch 2 Lunches I Raise, He Raises I Brush, He Brushes I Push, He Pushes Rule 3
If a word ends in a vowel sound (like the word Tree) or a voiced consonant (like the word Game), then when you add an S, continue the voicing throughout the entire word, and it should become a voiced ZZZZ.

Examples:
1 Tree, 2 Treezzzz (correctly spelled Trees) 1 Day, 2 Days 1 Shoe, 2 Shoes I Fly, He Flies 1 Game, 2 Games 1 Head, 2 Heads 1 Train, 2 Trains 1 Song, 2 Songs Some common words where S’s are pronounced as Z’s
IS HIS AS WAS THESE THOSE EASY BECAUSE Paragraph Practice
Notice that all voiced S/Z sounds are underlined.
Another zippy, zappy, crazy day comes to a close. As we zoom up to Joe?s snooze zone, Zoe Jones of Zodiac Zoo plays with her zipper. Last week, Jim?s brothers were picked to represent their country in the Olympic Games. Two of the brothers were swimmers, while the other two were long distance runners. All of the brothers wore glasses. These athletes worked hard at qualifying for the games and were hoping to come home with prizes. Since the brothers go to the same university, they often take the same courses. This makes studying easier and gives them more time to do other things. On Thursday, I had a very lazy day. I woke up early and first squeezed oranges into juice. I then got dressed and watched the sunrise come up over the mountains. It was so beautiful that I took many pictures with my camera and I used three rolls of film. After drinking two cups of coffee, I got dressed, left the house, and walked three miles home. 美语发音视频教程03：th, thr和t音标发音学习及练习 Session Three
