## Evanescence syllables

Evanescence has 4 syllables: eh-vuh-NEH-suhns.

1. eh ɛ
2. vuh və
3. NEH nɛ
4. suhns səns

Ev-uh-NES-uns, four syllables, stress on "nes". The "sc" is a single soft s, and the final syllable is a weak "uns".

## Sounds to watch

### The v sound

Rest your top teeth on your bottom lip and add voice. Keep it distinct from w, which uses rounded lips and no teeth.

### Weak syllables

The unstressed syllables use a short, relaxed uh (schwa). Rushing through them lightly is correct; giving them a full vowel sounds unnatural.
