In the modern world, it is becoming more and more difficult to meet a person who is satisfied with his speech and diction. The reason for the fuzzy pronunciation may be defects in the speech apparatus or congenital diseases in children. But this problem can and should be fought.
In order to improve diction, tongue twisters will help you. Work through several new tongue twisters every day, ranging from the easiest to the most difficult. The first times say them slowly, gradually accelerating the pace of reading, then try to tell the tongue twister quickly.
To form good diction, you can
“The heron chicken clung tenaciously to the chain. Two multi-colored chickens are running around in the street. Chicken and hen are drinking water on the street."
"Senka drove Sanka with Sonya on a sled. Sanki skok, Senka - off his feet, Sanka - in the side, Sonya - in the forehead, from the sled all into a snowdrift."
"The bankers were re-branded-re-branded-re-branded, but not re-branded."
"The quick-talker spoke quickly, saying that you can't re-speak all the tongue twisters, you can't speak again, but, having said a word, he said that you will re-speak all the tongue twisters, but don't speak too soon."
Also, you can do the following
With your mouth open, move your jaw left and right.
Also with your mouth open, try to touch each tooth with your tongue.
Pinch a pencil in your teeth and pronounce sentences of 10-15 words in this way.
Read books. Improving your reading technique will also speed up the improvement of your diction. The main thing is to read aloud, clearly pronouncing all the words.
From your everyday vocabulary, you should exclude words such as “damn”, “well,” “like,” “eh,” etc. By getting rid of such words, you will feel more confident, which will also be reflected in diction. Also, your speech will be understandable and more interesting to the interlocutor. If you cannot improve diction at home, or you want to trust a specialist in this matter, contact a speech therapist. He not only from a professional point of view will select for you a program to improve diction, but also point out your mistakes.
So, the perfection of speech depends entirely on the efforts and desires of a person. If you do these exercises every day, you will, of course, notice improvements in diction. This will give you confidence. People will be drawn to you if you speak clearly and distinctly, because it is more pleasant to listen to a person with a beautiful and correct speech.
