This is brilliant! My mum had an accident two years ago, hurt her head and had to re-learn pretty much everything. While her physical recovery has been fantastic, she does tend to stumble over certain words with repeating consonants. I've been sharing clarity exercises with her but I think this one is really going to help with her specific problem. Thank you so much, Mr McStay!
Darren thank you so much, I’m so happy and relieved to have found your brilliant channel and video resources. I am a 48 year old woman, diagnosed last year with ADHD of all things! Whilst I’m pleased to have my diagnosis, I am still picking through all the side effects of living with undiagnosed adhd and one of the things is being poor at organising self care tasks, such as being on top of dentistry. I also have an internalised compulsion (stim) where I chatter my teeth unconsciously. As a result I have lost a couple of molars and am facing several thousands of pounds of dental work. Anyway, all that to say my speech has been impacted and I have lost so much confidence. I used to be considered very well spoken as a child but now find myself tripping over words and losing confidence half way through sentences or just avoiding talking altogether unless I absolutely have to. I have recently made redundant so am facing job interviews. I have done some of these exercises this morning and already feel so much more confident and chuffed to bits that there are practical ways to make a difference. Thank you!!
@@vocabilities the daily articulation exercises video I think has been the most helpful as that is an area I really need to work on. I've definitely seen an improvement since starting them! But also the 100 different voices video really helped me to look at my character voices in a more analytical way.
@@vocabilities and just to let you know, the voice I went back and re-recorded after watching your video, the author commented on as being fantastic, so thank you again!
Thank you so much for helpful videos. I am a professor from the Philippines and I am learning so much to make my communication skills and voice sharper.
Had fun doing this while my mother-in-law was in the next room thinking I was a crazy person. 😂 Really helps though. Love the series of tips your videos have been giving.
J'zaak Allah Khairan! In Arabic it means bless you but like 10X times more =D Your videos are very helpful, my voice always changes immediately after doing your exercises.
Hi Darren--How about the sounds with w and j? like wah wah wah and jaw jaw jaw...are these exercises more primarily for the tongue and that is W and J aren't included? Thanks for all your videos and advice. Its been invaluable!

I was recently watching Loki
and realized that the way you speak is similar to Tom Hiddleston
I worked on his accent for a client, so maybe it’s rubbed off on me a bit! Everyone loves his voice! 🙏
I felt the same too...I thought it was just me....
Had fun doing this while my mother-in-law was in the next room thinking I was a crazy person. 😂 Really helps though. Love the series of tips your videos have been giving.
