00:14The V sound is a sound from the Consonant Pairs group.
00:20It is called the Voiced Labiodental Fricative.
00:25This means that you create friction between the bottom lip and the top teeth.
00:31The V sound is made through the mouth.
00:35And it is voiced which means that you produce the sound by vibrating the vocal cords.
00:42It is defined by the position of your lips and teeth.
00:46It is a fricative sound which is a sound produced by a high pressure air flow going between a narrow space in the mouth.

01:05And force air out through your teeth whilst voicing out.
