Finding a person with good diction is becoming increasingly difficult, because few people consciously strive to improve their speech. Speech abilities are rarely given naturally, so exercises should be done to improve pronunciation. But does every person need clear pronunciation?

Proper diction implies clear pronunciation of words and correct placement of the speech organs. The reason for poor diction is congenital defects of the speech apparatus. But the reason may also be imitation of the speech of other people in childhood. But even with poor pronunciation, improvement is possible if special diction exercises are used.

The delivered diction helps:

• Achieve understanding. If a person has not worked on speech development, the information he expresses will be difficult to perceive by people who are seeing him for the first time and are not accustomed to the peculiarities of pronunciation.
• Make an impression. Improving your diction helps when you need to show your best side. An example is a conversation with an employer who would be more willing to give a position to a person with clear pronunciation.
• Attract attention. If a person is constantly developing his pronunciation and voice, any story he tells will be more readily accepted than if he has a speech impediment.

Development of pronunciation in adults

The development of diction in an adult differs in that the production of sounds is much more complex. When a person is accustomed to pronouncing words in a certain way, he has to change not only the pronunciation, but also the perception of his speech. Before improving your diction, it is worth considering the main types of exercises.

• pronunciation of tongue twisters;
• listening to your voice;
• breathing training.

To learn beautiful speech using tongue twisters, you should choose several such phrases designed to develop the pronunciation of certain sounds and find out which of them are more difficult to pronounce. It is on them that you should concentrate your attention. It is important to pronounce such phrases regularly so that the speech apparatus gets used to the correct pronunciation. Working on yourself means doing exercises every day.

A tool that helps you learn to pronounce sounds correctly is dictation recordings. If you listen to your speech on a recording, you can understand that it sounds completely different from how it sounds when talking to your interlocutor. When identifying defects and correcting them, you need to constantly record speech until they disappear.

A common problem is shortness of breath when speaking long phrases. This becomes noticeable during public speaking. To get rid of this problem, the diaphragm training method is used. One of the diction exercises is to draw out the vowel sound as you exhale for as long as possible. At first you can only do this for a few seconds, but later the time increases to 25. Breathing training also involves changing the pitch of your voice. Another way to practice is to blow up balloons.

With regular exercise, the results appear within a few days. But to maintain the effect, you need to do all of the above constantly. At the same time, it is worth using books that are intended for speech development.

Text for diction development

To develop correct pronunciation, there are texts that are compiled on the same principle as tongue twisters. They usually combine several tongue twisters to develop different sounds. This means that to correct diction you do not need to search for texts. To practice, just find tongue twisters to make all the sounds and combine them into a single whole.

To help the formation of correct pronunciation occur faster, nuts of different sizes are placed in the mouth or a pencil is clamped between the teeth. After removing such items, you can feel that it has become easier to pronounce even complex phrases.

Expressive reading also helps develop diction. fiction. By recording your pronunciation on a voice recorder, you can easily determine which sounds are being pronounced incorrectly.

The longest tongue twister

“On Thursday the 4th, at 4 and a quarter o’clock, the Ligurian traffic controller was regulating in Liguria, but 33 ships tacked, tacked, but never caught, and then the protocol about the protocol was recorded by the protocol, as the interviewed Ligurian traffic controller was eloquent, but not reported cleanly, and so reported about the wet weather that, so that the incident did not become a contender for a judicial precedent, the Ligurian traffic controller acclimatized in unconstitutional Constantinople, where the tufted laughter laughed and shouted to the Turk, who was blackly stoned with a pipe: don’t smoke, Turk, a pipe, buy a better one a pile of peaks, it’s better to buy a pile of peaks, otherwise a bombardier from Brandeburg will come and bombard him with bombs because some black-snouted guy dug up half his yard with his snout, dug up and dug up; but in fact the Turk was not in the business, and Klara the King was sneaking to the stall at that time, while Karl was stealing corals from Klara, for which Klara stole the clarinet from Karl, and then in the yard of the tar widow Varvara, 2 of these thieves stole firewood; but it’s a sin - not laughter - not to put it in a nut: about Clara and Karl in the darkness, all the crayfish were making noise in a fight - so the thieves had no time for the bombardier, but also not the tar widow, and not the tar children; but the angry widow put the firewood in the barn: once firewood, 2 firewood, 3 firewood - all the firewood could not fit, and 2 woodcutters, 2 woodcutters, for the emotional Varvara, expelled the firewood across the width of the yard back to the wood yard, where the heron withered, the heron withered, the heron died; the heron's chick clung tenaciously to the chain; well done against the sheep, and against the well done the sheep itself, to which Senya carries the hay in a sleigh, then Senka carries Sonya and Sanka on a sled: the sled hops, Senka sideways, Sonya head on, everything into a snowdrift, and from there only a head of bumps knocked him down, then Sasha went along the highway, Sasha found the sachet on the highway; Sonya - Sashka’s friend was walking along the highway and sucking a dryer, and besides, Sonya the turntable also had 3 cheesecakes in her mouth - exactly like a honey cake, but she had no time for a honey cake - Sonya, with the cheesecakes in her mouth, would over-mix the sexton, - over-mix: it buzzes like ground beetle, buzzing and spinning: was at Frol's - Frol lied about Lavra, will go to the Lavra at Frol Lavra will lie that - the sergeant with the sergeant, the captain with the captain, the snake has a snake, the hedgehog has a hedgehog, and a high-ranking guest has taken away from him a cane, and soon again 5 guys ate 5 honey mushrooms and a half-quarter of a quadruple of lentils without a wormhole, and 1666 pies with cottage cheese from whey from yogurt - about all of that, the bells were ringing with groans, so much so that even Konstantin - a Salzburg unpromising man from - under an armored personnel carrier he stated: just as all the bells cannot be re-ringed, all the tongue twisters cannot be repeated, all the tongue twisters cannot be re-spoken; but trying is not torture. »

How to improve your diction in a short time

Sometimes it is not possible to perform exercises to practice pronunciation due to lack of time. In such situations, articulatory charging is used. It consists of several simple exercises:

• Moving the jaw back and forth. During such actions, the mouth is in an open position.
• Pronouncing the vowels o, u and y. This should be done in a bent position with your arms crossed over your chest. At the same time, the voice lowers and the sound is pronounced in a drawn-out manner. After the next sound, you need to rise to a standing position, and then tilt and repeat the action.
• Tongue movements. Good exercise for the rapid development of diction is a movement in which the tongue alternately rests on the cheeks. This is done both with a closed and open mouth.
• Touching teeth. This exercise is performed with your mouth wide open. With your tongue you need to touch each tooth in turn, following the top and bottom rows.

After performing such diction exercises, the clarity of spoken phrases increases, so they are often used by people speaking in front of the public.

Is it worth taking speech development courses?

There are speech development courses designed for speakers. They include not only exercises for correct pronunciation, but also tips to help cope with problems that arise during public speaking. The programs of such courses consist of several lessons:

• rules of articulation;
• learning the basics of proper breathing;
• development of vocal range and strength;
• rules for constructing intonation;
• study of orthoepy;
• mastering the basics of gestures.

Courses help you learn correct technique pronunciation and overcome the fear of speaking in front of an audience. Working on yourself involves long sessions, which is why announcers do this.

Speech defects arise due to improper structure of the speech apparatus or due to improper formation of sounds in childhood. The first type of defects can only be corrected with the help of speech therapists or dentists, if we are talking about irregular teeth structure.

You can correct your speech by using the normal arrangement of the organs of articulation during a conversation. In the absence of deviations in the development of the body, defects appear:

• sonorous sounds;
• hissing;
• whistling.

The occurrence of such defects occurs as a result of even a slight deviation of the speech organs from their natural location. For correct pronunciation, you need to know how to correctly position the lips, tongue, soft palate and lower jaw. This can only be achieved through training, because working on speech correction implies constant improvement.

How to fix slurred speech

A common speech defect that manifests itself in people with a normally developed articulatory apparatus is slurring. It manifests itself in swallowing entire syllables during a conversation. Such a defect is formed in childhood due to unconscious imitation of others. To get rid of it, you need to perform the following exercises to improve diction:

• Scan poems, following the rhythm. You should choose works that are more difficult to read. An example is Mayakovsky's poems. This kind of self-improvement will help you quickly correct speech deficiencies.
• Often pronounce words that have consonants next to each other. For example, counter-revolution. After composing such words, you should say them several times a day.

This will help you improve your pronunciation in just a few weeks.

How to put a voice

There are 3 exercises that help develop your voice.
In order for an audible effect to appear, it is necessary to perform the exercises for several months. Such exercises include:

• Pronouncing vowels. To perform the first exercise to develop diction, you need to pronounce vowel sounds one by one until you have enough breath. Saying “i”, “e”, “a”, “o” and “u” can make your voice more sonorous. Work on voice training occurs constantly, since during breaks, even for a few days, the effect becomes less noticeable.
• Activation of the abdominal and chest area. To activate the abdominal and chest areas, you need to pronounce “m” with your mouth closed. The first utterance of the sound should be quiet, the second louder, and the third time you need to strain the vocal cords as much as possible. If work on pronunciation and voice occurs without performing these exercises, the effect is reduced.
• Pronouncing words with the letter "r". Also, to establish the voice, the sound “r” is pronounced, which also improves pronunciation. To do this, you first need to growl the sound “rrrr”, and then pronounce more than a dozen words containing the letter r in a row. During pronunciation, the letter should stand out. This exercise will help you develop your voice and improve your diction. Books also help develop diction when read aloud.

To develop diction and achieve clear pronunciation, you need to work hard. Only through regular exercise and training will you achieve tangible changes.

Don't scold your child for what he did or said. Start observing and noticing how he tries to do things on his own. Tell yourself that you trust your child. After all, he has enough inner wisdom to decide for himself what is best for him.

Your non-interference and sensitive observation of the child’s behavior during this week of trust will be a kind of education and will teach the child to trust himself.

The adult’s task is to understand what your child really wants to receive from you: more freedom, independence, confidence, or, conversely, does he want to seem helpless, inept, weak? In any case, he wants to be loved, dear, significant.

Step two.Get your life in order

Praise yourself for deciding to change your life. Finish things that have been put on the back burner. Clean up your house and get rid of unnecessary things. Old things are echoes of the past that pull you back, not forward.

Give yourself time to relax, play sports, and do what you love. Change your wardrobe, take care of your health, do what you have long wanted to do for yourself, but, for some reason, put it off.

Step three.Be a role model for your child

“Don’t raise children, they will still be like you,” says an English proverb.

Do you want your children to play sports, study well, be kind and sympathetic?

Show your child that working on yourself leads to positive results.

Your primary educational goal is to build relationships. What is needed here is not instructions and advice, but an expression of your support and approval.

Step four.Patience and time

Don't expect an outward change in your behavior to immediately affect your child's behavior. After all, it was you who decided to fix everything, this is your mature, thoughtful and balanced decision. You are ready to work and improve yourself. A child is a “product” of past upbringing. It was formed over many years, and got used to life in certain conditions. He developed a lot of psychological defenses and learned to use these mechanisms.

In order to accept you with the new rules, the child needs time. Time to adapt to new living conditions in the family, to you, to new requirements and freedoms. He will have to go through difficult feelings, forgive you, possibly admit his guilt, and also accept his share of responsibility for the further development of the relationship.

It can be called "rebooting relationships" Treat it as an opportunity to change yourself and change your world, but not your child. Give him the opportunity to make this decision on his own.

Step five.

How to learn to trust a child?

Mistrust is the path to destruction of relationships, and it doesn’t matter in what areas of life it is present. It is difficult to live in distrust of the world, build a career and solve any social problems.

In relationships with a child, mistrust serves as a reason for numerous quarrels and conflicts.

Learning to trust is difficult, but this is the only way to build close, trusting relationships in which everyone is comfortable and calm. Trust is, first of all, respect for the child’s personality. Unconditional acceptance of his qualities, both positive and negative.

It is important to distinguish between mistrust (disbelief in the child’s abilities, the desire to do everything for him) and the parent’s constructive concern associated with the child’s actions.

If one of the problems was a ban on going somewhere, arriving too late, etc., then lifting it will be an act of trust. It is important that this does not look like a handout on your part or a demonstration of the principle “Do as you know!”, but rather as a manifestation of trust, as evidence of a different, more mature and respectful attitude towards the child’s personality. Of course, an act of trust will be such only if, having declared something, you will never back down from your decision.

Step six.Talk about your own feelings and experiences

An important behavioral change for a parent is the transition from constant control to the manifestation of their own feelings and experiences associated with the child. Having a feeling and expressing a feeling are not the same thing. By expressing your emotions, you also demonstrate to your child “what to do if I am angry, offended, upset.”

If you yourself hold back your anger and irritation, and, exploding, breaking dishes or physically punishing your child, you are giving him a lesson on how he should act if he is angry and someone else does not do what he wants .

Although a constructive way of expressing your anger would be: “I’m angry, I don’t like it when you do this. Let’s agree...”

If you hide your tears, you may be letting your child know that crying is wrong, or even embarrassing. Or are you thus conveying to him the idea that “you shouldn’t upset anyone with your difficulties and experiences.”

By expressing your own feelings, you teach your child how to deal with the feelings within himself and the feelings of others.

Step seven.

How to organize a confidential conversation?

A confidential conversation with a child is certainly important. The purpose of such a conversation is to show the child that the attitude towards him has changed.

Try to talk about your feelings and experiences, which are based on parental concern, anxiety and love for the child.

Such a conversation may turn out to be a real milestone in your relationship.

The only thing you can’t do in such a conversation is stoop to a state of reproaches, claims and demands for gratitude.
