The ability to speak quickly and beautifully is valued in society, regardless of time or place. The popularity of politicians or public figures largely depends on whether people understand their speech. To learn how to pronounce words more clearly, there are many techniques, one of which is tongue twisters.
Instructions
Step 1
Tongue twisters are phrases or phrases made up of words that mostly contain the same sounds. Because of this, it is not always possible to speak them quickly the first time. It takes time and training to learn this.
Step 2
To get started, take a tongue twister you like and try to pronounce it slowly. Pay attention to each syllable, do not swallow the endings. If you skip this and read the tongue twister right off the bat, then diction can only get worse.
Step 3
Then pay attention to the articulation. Speak a tongue twister without saying a word aloud. Only lips should work. When you are sure that you are clearly identifying each sound, ask a family or friend to check you out. If he understands from his lips which tongue twister you read, then the goal is achieved. Otherwise, practice some more.
Step 4
Next, you should pronounce the tongue twister in a whisper. Not to be confused with hiss. You should speak quietly, but clearly and clearly. Those who are with you need to understand what you are saying. Some prompters in theaters place great emphasis on this stage, since their speech must be heard even at the other end of the stage.
Step 5
After that, if the tongue twister is not memorized, pay attention to memorizing it. Moreover, this should be done not for several days, but for a long period, in order to pronounce it at any time. Once you've done this, try using different intonation and manner. Use a tongue twister with fun or sadness in your voice. Then try to read it like a verse: smoothly and melodiously. Then you can hum the phrase.
Step 6
Then you just need to increase the rate of pronunciation, achieving the required speed. Don't try to get it out as quickly as possible. Remember that the main goal is to understand your speech by other people. The speed will gradually increase. The main thing is not to give up training and return to classes at least once a week.
Step 7
If tongue twisters do not give you much difficulty, you can try to pronounce them with a full mouth. So, some ancient Greek philosophers put river pebbles or nuts on their cheeks, thereby improving diction. Exercise until you are good enough. When you start to stumble or swallow endings, slow down. If that doesn't work, then understand the cause of the failure and repeat one of the above steps to fix it.
