You have
all heard me talk about 'Singlish'-- that strange 'dialect' of
English that singers use
to make the words of English sound 'right' when you sing them,
extending vowels and words for much longer than when you normally speak them,
and often you even have to sing something else for the audience to 'hear' the
original word.
It means analysing English more than you have done before,
especially diphthongs, ligature, etc, and dealing with the fact the English is
rarely pronounced as it is
spelt! Remember the
neutral vowel? (A FUN TEST: English
as she is spoke!)
