Một số từ khó nói hơn những từ khác. Hãy thử những từ như hello và what? (với hello, anh ấy sẽ phát âm giống như “hewow”).

In-depth analysis and practical advice from leading experts.

No problem! Anyone can start from scratch. The secret is to use your cheeks (not your throat) to pronounce words, combined with proper tongue positioning and practicing blowing air through your teeth. It might sound funny and difficult to control at first, but the more you practice, the more you'll get hooked because the results are so satisfying!

If done correctly, it's not dangerous at all. But remember not to overexert yourself – if you feel neck strain or a dry throat, take a break immediately. Even the original actor for Donald Duck had to take a break midway through because this type of voice is very breath-intensive!

The trick is to add emotion to your voice! Donald isn't just hoarse, he's also... extremely hot-tempered. Practice speaking quickly and loudly when you're happy, and slower and lower when you're sad. Add a few "Boy, oh boy!" or "phooey!" and you'll make everyone laugh!
