Phonetic Ponunciation of the syllable 'ˈhɛlp'

Sound	Tongue	Lips	Jaw	Teeth	Air	Vocal Chords
/ˈ/
/h/	The position of the tongue depends on the sound that comes next.	The lips are open to let the air go through.		There is a separation between the teeth.	Air passes through the mouth.	The vocal cords do not vibrate.
/ɛ/	The tongue tip touches the back of the bottom front teeth. The middle part of the tongue arches up towards the roof of the mouth.		The jaw drops.			The vocal cords vibrate.
/l/	The tongue is against the back of the upper teeth.				The air flows around the sides of the mouth.	The vocal cords vibrate.
/p/	Place the tip of your tongue behind your upper front teeth, or slightly below them, so that the air is completely blocked in the oral cavity.	Round your lips tightly, creating a seal to prevent any air from escaping through your mouth.	Keep your jaw relatively tense and stable, without any movement.	The teeth should not be involved in the production of this sound.	Build up air pressure behind the blockage created by your tongue and lips, and then release the air suddenly by popping open the lips, causing a burst of air to be expelled.	Do not use your vocal cords to produce this sound, as it is an unvoiced sound.
