presentation being able to speak clearly. Once you get it, you need to be careful not to talk like the king and queen in your every day speech and especially in your public speech. It will make you sound aloof. However feel free to slightly increase your every day speech enunciation in Minnesota. Clear Speech Exercises: Stretching It is good to stretch the facial muscles. When you move your face and jaw muscles in a stretching motion, you loosen them up. Additionally, you send the signal to the brain that they are going to be used. There have been numerous studies on muscle memory. The mind/muscle connection is a powerful tool to use. In this case, you are using it to gain mastery of your speech organ and mastery of vocalization. Also, stretch your vocal cords. Like a singer warming up, practice your voice range. Instead of singing, you will use words and letters. Start with the vowel sounds. Then progress to brief phrases or sayings. Do these as a warm up prior to your speaking. This will enhance your ability to speak clearly. Not to be underestimated is the value of taking deep breaths through the nose and exhale out the mouth. This floods your brain with fresh oxygen. Clear speech starts in the mind, which feeds on oxygen among other things. Dont forget, in addition to the vocal cords and tongue, the face, jaw muscles and lips also play a part in speech. Stretch and relax these as well. Make use of tape recorders when self improving. Unless someone is dedicated to helping you grow in your abilities, do not expect a totally honest critique. Or even if it is honest, it may lack the critical examination required to help you move on. You may need to self critique. Then once you discover where you have flaws, gain mastery over them. We will update this with more clear speech exercises in the future. Do these things, you will not only help you keep speaking clearly, you will speak with distinction. May all of your speech be clear speech.
