Helping out friends and stuff.

Hi. Today I have...
  • had  a lot of tea.
  • read a little of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
  • listened to a friend's song idea and gave him some constructive criticism 'cause he wanted me to, haha.
I guess my Phonetics studies helped a little. :)

I was like:
First off I just want to say that it's easier to improve this if I was with you now. So, in this song Beautiful Life, I would like you to pronounce the voiced dental fricative /ð/ (as in this) in the word *then* more clearly. Next, the word *down* (...on my love), pronounce it more calmly and not harshly like what you did in the recording, and don't forget to place the emphasis on the *d*. Very important. And most of all, your pronunciation of the word "simple." Do not pronounce the *i* the way you pronounce words such as "sea, heat". 
ɪ hit, sitting
i: see, heat

There's the difference, and the first example is the way you should pronounce 'simple'.

He was like:

OMG. This is brilliant! I need you, Jassy. I need you in this project.

I was like: Haha. How? :)

He was like: cuz you're awesome. You got a great ear for music and you got great taste and you play every other instrument and you got passion and all. I mean you're good at everything. Even phonetics! These are the kind of people I want to work together with!
