      Honestly, how can I take your advice when the recording is awful and the video quality is worse? It's like giving caviar in a dirty paper cup and expecting me to believe it is quality-maybe it is? But I won't be trying it.

      @Mike it all comes down to the human soul, and how your conscience is trying to deliver the message. When the words from your mouth becomes fluid then it was meant to be said. There are messages that I deliver with flaws but they still reach regardless, God has a way of carrying our Message no matter if the individual has a brain injury, speech impediment, stuttering problem.. remember Gods beloved Moses gave an excuse of His stuttering speech but look at the mighty works that was done by God using Him to deliver the message ! And it still shocks the world to this day! Keep speaking man !

      Communication isn’t just about speaking clearly. The world has deaf people so a clear voice is useless. Even if you have a clear voice and have great writing skills the person you’re speaking to may not understand the same words you use, or disagree with your opinion, or aren’t interested in your message. Just because you say something clearly doesn’t mean that you’re right, or that you’re being understood or that people care.

As a kid I had TWO imaginary friends ... going through these reminds me just how much purposeful, articulate I was since I played with them daily even through the night and it was this that forced people to make me shut up.

    I had some speech issues, due to multiple tensions in my body, mainly caused by chest breathing instead of belly breathing. You are on point with this. My speech therapist also said improving speech is not an overnight fix. I have made massive improvements by embracing that mindset.

    Customer was just staring at me, without making any response, and then after "restaurant" finally "oh.....no".

    I was raised bilingual and sometimes switch between languages for specific words (automatically).
    Now I am dating a guy from overseas and talk english (3rd language) on a daily basis and suddenly noticed a problem with my speech:
    My brain thinks too fast and conflicts with the 3 languages, so that I often times stop in the middle of the sentence, have to finish my thought and adjust to the language and then continue talking. This is bathering me a lot, because it seems like I would sometimes stutter.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Hi Derek. In my rambling I've just come back after some while to this clip of yours and can't help notice the motivation you are giving. During the time since I have watched it first I practised mimicking the sounds and intonations from different sources I liked at the moment. They were like audio-books, youtub-clips, podcasts. It was helpful. English is not my native tongue, and beside the aural practice it was also the practice of new words, bits idioms, slang expressions, probably even gestures. I was not stuck to a single accent or voice, because after a while they were becoming to seem boring . I was changed samples, and went further exploring some regional British accents, which was also a great fun. Maybe sometimes I deviated from the clearness, but I think it was beneficial in some point for understanding the tonality and the pitch of the language. And, of course, it worked like a feed-back: the better we can produce the speech the better we can understand it. Eventually I have cached a feeling that the British voices are produced more likely from more former part of the mouth, even some sounds are coming from the back of the throat. It's like the feeling that the frontier muscles and the front part of the tongue work more than in my native Russian. It's a sort of my tuning when I try to mimic, my "inpersonality".
    And my question at the end. What do you think about this Yorkshire boy th-cam.com/video/GTSb8zZdFYY/w-d-xo.html
    Isn't he wonderful? It's one of my likings now how he speaks. Does it feel like clear sounding to you?

    This method is identical to the process professional jazz improvers do to get better at improvising.

I am studying for my DMA in saxophone currently, and they have me teaching on the spot often in front of audiences, and I feel that my speaking fluency needs to get better. So, it is pretty cool to hear that the practice of getting better at it is something I already relate to.

    been trying to improve my voice since february, basing it on Ian Mckellen's voice and Chritopher Lee, listening to them while live streaming. I'm not british or even a native english speaker, didn't get there yet, but I hope I'm getting there soon. Glad I found your video now, glad I was doing something right by basing it on actors hahah. definitely gonna try to do these exercises. Thanks for posting these.
