I just saw this. Was mine so bad: compared to the ones you added here? George Bowling (Also, I planned to speak fast as I was treating it as a tongue-twister too; doing both agility/tongue-twister simultaneously for a darn good warm-up :))
It is so freaking weird because I used to speak just fine then at one time, all of sudden I became self-aware of my own speaking and I started to mess up my words most of the time when I speak. Sigh.
I'm reading a book right now by an Irish writer, and he keep mentioning people "pronouncing their ing's" the more posh people I believe he said in the part one book. Now that makes sense!😅
I have been told by several sales managers that I’m great but I could be better if I “took the ghetto” out of my speech. I’ve expanded my vocabulary tremendously however enunciation is still hard for me to overcome without sounding robotic.
I curtsied at the end of an internal job interview. I CURTSIED 🥴 i already work full time with this organization and part time with the department I interviewed for. I knew the interview panel and have conversations with them regularly. My thoughts and answers were scrambled eggs. I was goofy and weird because of my severe anxiety with public speaking and fear of not appearing competent. Enneagram 5 here! After the interview, as I was replaying it over and over in my head, I realized I WAS THE ONE WHO CREATED THE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND PROCESS 2 years ago during a project to create this department… I don’t even want to show my face at work and am so disappointed in myself for fear I let them down with my poor performance. I am always complimented on my work ethic and job performance and received a stellar employee evaluation for the 5th year in a row. I already know the job and do it well. I am terrified that my poor interview performance will affect both areas of my job
Darren, I have a more nuanced question, please... How can I use my voice in my "private spaces" (not performing/socialising) and feel comfort being functional for myself? I have dysphonia, SD, it has been getting worse over time and for me it manifests as having a 'fine' voice when in public, performing, singing but when I am in my own space, alone, my voice goes to sh*t. I can't read books to family, I can't record any voice work in my own time (unless I put on an accent) ... It's incredibly draining to have to be presenting to others in order to know "I'm ok" and not "defunct".
I have such a story: I live in Russia and have been stuttering since I was 5 years old because I loved scary movies and games, I don't remember exactly at what point I started stuttering. SCHOOL STAGE:when I turned 7, I went to school, but in elementary school I didn't pay much attention to it, but then the moment of transition came and I began to fixate on it and was afraid to speak, there were moments when the teacher asked me a question and I knew the answer but couldn't answer, or for example when they asked my last name and I didn't I could answer and I pretended not to hear (it was terribly embarrassing) but fortunately at school they didn't laugh at me, only sometimes they talked about me, but it was for 1 day. Now I am 14, I am actively engaged in various speech exercises and I have almost stopped being afraid, but there is still a lot of work Exercises that help me: you pull a belt or belt over your stomach and start reading, at the moment when you say the words inflate your stomach yes, inflate it, 2 I'm just talking to myself and as a bonus, since I'm learning English, it helps me too.
thanks for your video. I am so unconfident with my friends since my voice when I talk in crowd I can't be able to focus on what I speak. I really want my voice it like Raditya Dika and Thomas Shelby of course not as serious as who the one in the character, i will get my own self
@@ImproveYourVoice it's not singing accent, it's anot official accent what was popular in old retro movies. So only actors were using it, It's not using anymore now
With regards to putting this knowledge into practice by recording your voice (kudos to the content creator!), I feel like I got a percentage of that by using dictation (the mic icon on your phone's keyboard to convert speech to text). It teaches you to prepare your words on the spot, lest a spoiled gen zed-der such as myself have to go back and correct it. Obviously not as effective as listening to a recording but I feel as though this could also be a nice foot in the door for those who aren't going to keep consistent in recording themselves. Funny how acoustics play out differently on a mic than hearing your own voice aloud. Me it can range from Patrick Star to Mr.Krabs depending on how awake I am. Hope someone learned something and thanks for the well prepared video! Your eloquence didn't come off as robotic or corporate.
This is really helpful, thank you! I just started learning Irish on Duolingo and its really annoying that the speaker voices on there always differ for the words and pronunciations as well given they're probably also speaking different dialects of the words, but I suppose its good though because it gives me an idea of how else to pronounce them.
My main issue is that I forget words and sometimes jumble them up, like I'll say something like 'speak it over' instead of 'talk it over'. I catch it and correct myself when I can and it's not too late, and usually I'm not speaking with a native English speaker so it's fine. It's a growing concern of mine. Maybe it's just having been surrounded by so many non-native speakers. Perhaps they've destroyed my English!
Dont feel sad Be proud of yourself You've had challenging days and nights with this You coped up with other people to do rhe same activities with your shuttering and achieved many things Dont let this sluttering stop you SHOW OTHERS THAT A PERSON WITH SLUTTER CAN DO BETTER THAN OTHERS
Love this video! Tongue twisters are such a fun and creative way to improve your communication skills. I'll definitely be trying out some of these phrases to work on my articulation and enunciation. Thanks for sharing!
I don’t think it’s always about someone’s emotions when they can’t articulate themselves clearly. I also think their vocabulary is a huge factor of it. Getting more knowledge on a variety of words will help immaculately.
