I am asking a voice teacher, and I’m learning that the difference between “theater” and “the” is that one of them is voiced and the other is unvoiced. “F” and “V” are similarly voiced and unvoiced, and “thistle” and “this”. I have received the following on how to make a “th” sound for a non-native speaker.

Start with a d. Then try to get them to put the tip of the tongue between their upper and lower teeth while saying d, the d will distort into an approximation of th and they can clean it up from there.

when i do it, the tip of my tongue is touching both rows of teeth, and i also feel my cheeks tensing? i’m guessing just to direct the air towards the teeth

i think i’m making the same blowing motion as i make when i make the f sound

Your cheeks shouldn’t feel tense lol? I think I can replicate what you’re doing where my cheeks feel slightly engaged, but definitely not tense.

I’d have challenged them to a simplified-Yahtzee game for that, but they’re taking a break from FoL.
