About this document
Understanding S and Z Sounds by Mark Aldrin Tabao is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document provides tips for pronouncing the s and z sounds in American English. Both sounds are made with the tongue positioned behind the upper gum ridge and pointed slightly up. The main difference is that s is voiceless while z is voiced, meaning vocal chords do not vibrate for s but do for z. It lists common spellings for each sound, such as s, ss, c for s and z, s, se for z.
