The first minute is the clip that I am using. The last line is, "they were in some frightening trees."
I chose this as my archetype because, in most ways, she really pronounces the sounds of the words clearer and slower than an adult might. Also, the video is so close to her face, which helps to see how she pronounces the words.
As for my own pronunciation, I need to work on pronouncing /r/. I also need to work on the vowels, although to be honest I'm not exactly sure what aspects at this point (which is part of the problem).
Here is my first recording.
The things I will first focus on will be my pronunciation of /r/s.
Not bad, Kelley - and you may want to focus on /r/, but I think that some more pronounced lip rounding overall will make much of your sample sound more accurate!
