Step 1
Work on your diction.
Even if you don't notice your speech defects, it doesn't mean that you don't have them. Of course, there are rappers who have made the mispronunciation of certain sounds a trademark of their reading style. But how many will be able to repeat this? It is much better to make your pronunciation perfect, it is never too late to worsen diction if you really need to do it for expressive purposes.
Therefore, ask the opinion of others about your pronunciation, consult a speech therapist.
Step 2
Learn and read as many tongue twisters as possible.
A rapper's ability to quickly pronounce intricate phrases is an essential parameter of mastery. Pronounce tongue twisters slowly at first, only gradually speed up. Remember that the point is not in fast pronunciation, but in correct and clear pronunciation.
Step 3
Read under the posts of the best rappers. This is not the best way to work out your own unique intonation, but it develops a sense of rhythm and understanding of the rhythm of the text well.
Step 4
Your rap needs to be powerful. If you read softly and indistinctly, then no very best microphone will fix the situation. So work on your breath. In general, it is best to do a professional voice production. Vocal lessons or stage speech courses will help you with this. Stage speech and acting in general are very important for a rapper. They not only thicken the sound of the voice, but also help develop the ability to work in the image.
If you do not have the opportunity to attend such courses, practice correct breathing yourself. A powerful sound is only produced when it is produced after taking a correct deep breath. When inhaling, try to let the air pass to the very bottom of the lungs, thereby filling them entirely. To do this, breathe “belly” - when inhaling, as it were, inflate the belly, then the diaphragm will go down, the useful volume of the chest will increase.
Step 5
You don't have to shout to get great sound. High power of sound is born due to deep correct breathing and resonance in the performer's body. In this case, the ligaments should absolutely not be tense.
