How to deliver a good speech. Speech technique - the art of speaking beautifully

Half of the secular Kyiv goes to courses in public speaking to Veronica Selega. Alena Ponomarenko took several lessons - and realized what caused the hype.

I open my mouth wide, wait three seconds for my muscles to relax, and then stretch my lips to form a grin. I'm having my first lesson at the Aristotle school of oratory, on the course of Veronica Selega, and I'm doing the Open Mouth exercise to warm up the muscles of the articulatory apparatus. There are only 21 muscles, and they work so-so. First, because in Slavic culture, unlike the American one, historically it is not customary to actively articulate. Secondly, with age, muscles become tighter. This leaves an imprint on how a person speaks, and, of course, on how his speech is perceived by others.

Veronica is sure that articulation gymnastics is shown to everyone, and especially to those who often speak to the public, are on the air, or just want to sound beautiful and convincing. If you look behind the scenes of any talk show, she says, you can see how everyday speakers stretch their muscles - make a “horse”, “jellyfish” (when the lower lip combs the teeth with force), bite the tongue. “By the way, if your mouth is dry during a performance, you can just bite your tongue - this will cause an instant flow of saliva,” she says. And this is just one of hundreds of life hacks that I have to learn in the next few days.

Among Veronica's clients are politicians, lawyers and other typical "speakers": the wives of diplomats, businessmen, people who have recently received a promotion, and so on. All of them need not only to speak beautifully, but also to know etiquette, be able to find topics for conversation and present themselves, choose the right audience and interlocutors, answer uncomfortable, and sometimes boorish questions, elegantly evade answers. " Public speaking, - explains Veronica, - this is not necessarily a huge hall and a speaker with a microphone. This is a working meeting, and a presentation of your project, and a toast at a birthday party, and an explanation to the children of what is good and what is bad.” Courses cannot be classified as "entertainment": it is still work (albeit very rewarding) - with homework, exercises, reading additional literature. There are 16 lessons in total, and then people sometimes come back to improve their skills - for example, “knock out” Russian sounds from Ukrainian speech.

Here I get the most valuable advice in life according to Ukrainian pronunciation. It turns out that in order to speak like a TV presenter (or just a fifth-generation Kyiv intellectual), it is enough to pronounce “ch” and “u” correctly: h is always solid (literally - “black”, “pure”), u is formed by two sounds: "sh" and "h". As soon as I tried to pronounce "Chedry" and "Shchastya", everything changed - I realized that I could sound no worse than Ekaterina Osadchaya. By the way, her articulation (“big open mouth”) and diction (extremely clear sounds) are considered reference. And of course, the Osadchai had to work hard on them. Chief Editor site site Natalya Vasyura, who worked for several years as the editor-in-chief of Svetskaya Zhizn, says that Lydia Vovkun, People's Artist of Ukraine, was engaged in stage speech with Osadcha.

Classes are structured in such a way that, along with an exciting process of self-knowledge, you quickly grasp useful skills. Selega believes that when a person knows his most important task (for example, "communicating with the press"), the result comes quickly. “For those who simply feel that something is missing in their performances, we first analyze the problems, then develop a training program and determine the desired result.”

Veronica sets simple difficult questions like "When do people like to listen to you?" (“When I am well versed in what I am talking about”); "Why are you sharing information?" (“I love to share good things”), “How does your appearance conducive to communication?” (“Perhaps I should have been more pretty.”) Veronica writes down my answers on the blackboard, so it becomes clear to her what she will have to work on, and what is already in order. Questions flow from one to another, new details periodically emerge. My main problem is the most common: a speech in front of an audience. When my head is rapidly emptying, and instead of the allotted 30 minutes for the performance, I manage in five, rattling everything in one fell swoop and missing the point.

Interestingly, asking fast speakers to speak more slowly is often pointless. People are not able to control the pace of their speech for more than a couple of minutes. Reading aloud helps a lot. It turns out that reading at a pace that usually explains some simple things is not so easy. But even more difficult is the first speed, when pauses must be made between all the words. I only succeed on the second try. To do this, you have to take a special position: sit down imposingly, crossing your legs, and put your hand on the back of the chair. The position of the body helps to speak in a completely different way - but I will learn about this a little later, in a class with a body-oriented psychotherapist. In the meantime, Veronica reveals another secret to me: to slow down speech and sound more impressive, you need to clearly pronounce consonants. And read more at the first speed - this is how those who chatter are retrained.

For clear, easy and free speech, there is another life hack - like Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion by Bernard Shaw, when she trained to speak with a mouthful of nuts. Instead of nuts, Veronica advises to clamp a cork in your teeth - so as not to damage the enamel. I choose one from champagne - and proceed: "pkti, pkte, pkta, pkto, pktu, pkty" - and other difficult-to-pronounce combinations. But as soon as the cork is removed, magic happens: sounds pop out easily, like an announcer. "It's like doing exercises with dumbbells and then putting them away," says Veronica.

I learned the secrets of sudden freezes when speaking - when you suddenly completely forget what you wanted to say. This will not happen if you give your brain a break and consciously “turn off” for at least 2-3 seconds. Veronica gave me the key to the phone interviews as well. It turns out that when you do not see the interlocutor, it is easy to get confused and forget the main thing. To prevent this from happening, you need to go to a quiet room and concentrate as much as possible, otherwise you can’t avoid such a situation that arose with my interview with the radio “Aristocrats”: I stood in line at the Mystetsky Arsenal, it was raining, the audience was roaring, and I predictably I forgot everything I wanted to talk about on the air.

Then we played associations: Veronica called the word, and I quickly said the first thing that came to mind. It was scary to blurt out something indecent, but nothing happened. It turns out that the game was needed to bring out the atavistic sounds like "uh", "mmm" and "aah" when people drag and pause (I was among the rare 10% who do not).

We also played another game that helps expand lexicon and activate passive stock. Veronica gave out the word "point", and I had to attach others to it in order to get correct combinations: "intersection point", "semicolon", "fulcrum", "bold point" and so on. In such games, obvious combinations come to mind first, and only then vocabulary pops up. Veronica says that the words with which you want to enrich your speech should be immediately “put on the tongue” - pronounced aloud, even if at first they will be out of place. This is exactly what children intuitively do when they learn to speak.

A session with a body-oriented psychotherapist was a real revelation for me. Psychologist Elena Kozeletskaya says that people communicate verbally only by 30%, and the remaining 70% of information is read through body language. Literally everything matters: how a person sits, how he straightens his shoulders, how he holds his back. “The slope of the spine,” she says, “plays a big role. It is worth leaning forward a little - and everything will go wrong. It turns out that the interlocutor may regard the tilt as aggression or, even worse, perceive the pose as asking. The position of the interviewer, in which the body is thrown back, can be interpreted as bored and boorish. But if the interviewee sits like this - for example, a male star - this is quite normal.

Elena watched me, and then, to make it easier for me to assess myself from the outside, she “mirrored” my postures, gestures and facial expressions. It immediately became clear that I was behaving like an excellent student who intends to get excited: closed knees, a straight back, closed shoulders. The psychologist advised me to walk on my toes, on my heels, on the inside and outside of my feet. “Body confidence lives in the calf muscles,” she explains. “Feeling them means standing firmly on your feet.” And he advises everyone who is worried before a responsible meeting, photo shoot or lecture to go to the bathroom and stretch a little - this really helps. There is also something else. It turns out that one of the most important bodily markers is the back. It should be: a) strong (“because it carries all values”) and b) flexible (“to quickly respond to changes around and successfully adapt to them”). Therefore, the back must be trained - on simulators with a small weight, and stretched - doing yoga or Pilates.

“The thoracic spine,” Elena says, “is responsible for how confident we are in ourselves.” The chest muscles are often referred to as the Tarzan muscles, which is what male chimpanzees hit when they want to stun an opponent. This trick can be repeated - and "turn on" self-confidence. It takes practice to keep confidence going. “With dull shoulders, you can unsuccessfully go to a psychotherapist for years,” says Elena, “but as soon as you start a new pattern, life will go differently.” I checked: if you pick up your shoulders and hold them with your shoulder blades, your voice sounds stronger and bolder, which means that it is very easy to give the impression of a self-confident and assertive person.

At school, a lot of time is devoted not only to articulation and diction, but also to working with the voice (there is even a specialist phoniatrist), breathing techniques and the rules for preparing for performances. One of the good proven recipes is to speak your speech the day before, and not in front of a mirror, but, for example, with colleagues - unexpected nuances and stories will come up that will then enliven the speech. Veronica teaches you to answer uncomfortable questions, to behave correctly in front of the camera, journalists or just the public; explains how best to dress to best suit the environment. There are so many tips, and they are all so alive that I started following them instantly. And an amazing thing: the very first interview after the course went brilliantly. It remains to sign up for Pilates.

"The King speaks!"

The Duke (Colin Firth) prepares to take the throne and works with an experimental speech therapist (Geoffrey Rush) to get rid of his nervous stuttering and self-doubt. Selega believes that this is the best film about the practice of rhetoric, and also "it is closest to the truth about the student-teacher relationship."

13 exercises for easy speech

Articulation gymnastics takes only five minutes, but it turns on the muscles perfectly, and then it is very easy to speak. If time is short, it is enough to make a “jellyfish” and an “open mouth” - right before the broadcast.

one. " tubule”: stretch out the lips, and then stretch them in a smile without opening.

2. " Tube with teeth»: the same, only with teeth exposed. The wider, the better - this is not a smile, but a mechanical grin.

3. " Jellyfish”(see in the text): the mouth should be opened wider.

4. " top jellyfish»: the same, only the upper lip and upper teeth work. Bonus: The exercise helps reduce nasolabial folds.

five. " Two jellyfish»: the third and fourth exercises are performed simultaneously.

6. " Rotation»: it is necessary to rotate the tongue clockwise.

7. " bites»: bite the tongue - from the tip to the root.

8. " injections": with the tip of a tense tongue point to the sky, inside cheeks and lips.

9. L: you need to pronounce the sound “l” aloud, changing the position of the tip of the tongue (either inward or outward).

10. " Toffee': the tongue sticks to the palate, and a click occurs from the tension. This exercise helps to activate the center of the tongue.

eleven. " horse": click your tongue to activate its tip, which is responsible for the beautiful correct letter "p".

12. " nuts»: the mouth is closed, the lower jaw is motionless. With the tip of the tongue, you should try to reach the "sixes" - the back teeth.

13. " open mouth» (see in the text).

We all know how to talk. But still, not everyone expresses their thoughts beautifully and correctly: some are pleasant to listen to, while others cannot convey the idea to the listener and attract attention. And how to learn literate speech? This is quite possible if you make an effort and act purposefully.

Why speak wisely?

What is proper speech? In general, conversation is the main tool of communication. reasonable people, with its help they express their thoughts, transmit and receive information, achieve goals, that is, in fact, interact with each other. Although, of course, even incoherent phrases are quite understandable, but will the one who utters them be taken seriously? Surely not.

So why do we need the right speech?

• To communicate and be understood. If you speak clearly, you will be able to convey your thoughts and get answers to questions faster.
• To learn and develop. Currently, educated people are valued, and in order to become just such a person and achieve the perception of yourself as an accomplished person, you need to learn how to speak correctly.
• To be successful in professional activity. An employee who does not know how to speak and express thoughts competently is unlikely to build a career, especially in a large organization. But a skillful and talented speaker will certainly show himself with better side and become successful.
• To educate the next generation. Children absorb everything like sponges, and if parents use foul language or do not have literate speech skills, then the child will probably not learn to speak correctly.
• To be proud of your language, because everyone is beautiful in their own way.

The essence of the concept

What is correct speech? Such a concept does not have an exact definition, but it is completely logical that it implies the ability to speak competently, clearly and beautifully, express and convey one’s thoughts, build phrases and sentences. It would seem that we are taught all this from childhood, but this does not mean at all that everyone will be able to conduct a competent conversation. To learn how to speak beautifully and correctly, you need to have a sufficient vocabulary, think logically and make chains of words, use speech components appropriately and gracefully.

Components of literate speech

The technique of literate speech includes several components:

• Diction, that is, the correct and clear pronunciation of all sounds. Without this component, you will simply "mangle" the words.
• Breath. If you do not learn how to breathe correctly during a conversation, then your speech will not be well-formed and convincing enough. In addition, long sentences will automatically cause discomfort.
• Accurate, concise and clear presentation. Do not oversaturate speech with unnecessary words: lingering sounds, introductory phrases, interjections and other not the most important, and sometimes completely unnecessary elements.
• The content is the topic of the conversation, that is, what you are talking about. You must initially determine the essence and stick to it so that your thought is understandable and clear.
• Logic is correctly constructed phrases and sentences, as well as appropriately used individual words. Competent speech must be logical so that the speaker is understood.
• Vocabulary is the words that you know and are able to use. If the idea is complex, then it is unlikely to succeed in conveying it with the help of a limited number of concepts.
• Oratory skills are what makes speech interesting, filled with meaning and emotions. Talented orators used to be worth their weight in gold, and in modern life These skills will come in handy in many situations.

How to learn to do it right?

If you still do not know how to speak correctly and beautifully, then start correcting the situation as soon as possible. You'll see, it will do you good.

That's why grammatically correct speech and the ability to control it is the most important skill of any modern man. In one of the previous articles, I talked about the ability to listen and hear, and today I will give a few simple tips About, how to improve your speech.

2. Stop swearing

No, of course, if your main interlocutors are street gopota, then without masterful juggling swear words not enough. But when communicating with normal people, swearing is an indicator of a low cultural level. Few people like to communicate with a person who cannot express their emotions in competent Russian.

3. Rough jargon is your enemy

Jargon and literate speech are two almost incompatible concepts. Almost - because the jargon is different. Of course, two system administrators will understand each other much faster if they use “switch” rather than “network switch” in their speech, but in other cases it is better to call things by their proper names. Particularly annoying semi-criminal and "badonkaff" slang - it's unpleasant and uninteresting. Rid your speech of these harmful expressions. Say it like it is: “we got there quickly, because we were lucky - the green signal was on at the traffic lights, ”instead of“ epta, we can finally smell it all the way here on the green. ”

4. Brevity is the sister of talent

If you can express the essence of your thought in two sentences, then there is absolutely no need to “spread it along the tree”. Competent speech involves the ability to express yourself concisely and to the point. But be careful when the situation requires detailed clarification, it is better to spend a few minutes on additional explanations than to be misunderstood. Learn also the rules of cultural communication.

5. Vary your speech depending on the situation.

Your boss won't like it. if they call him in person “Vitek”, and a friend, to the appeal “Vyacheslav Leonidovich ...”, heard from you, in best case twist his finger at his temple. Learn to speak with the interlocutor in “the same language”, and communication will be more productive.

6. Stop apologizing all the time

Many people have a habit of building their phrases in an apologetic tone in advance. It seems to them that in this way they will quickly arouse the disposition towards themselves. This is not true. Confident, straightforward (within moderate, of course, limits) speech will affect the interlocutor much better than “It’s not very convenient for me to ask, but maybe you will agree ...”, etc. Be more confident and assertive.

7. Watch out for recoil

8. Expand your vocabulary

Read more literature (“lady detectives” and free jokes” do not count) and try to identify any interesting speech turns or phrases, memorize them. Also make it a rule to open a spelling dictionary at least a couple of times a week and find words that are unknown to you or little used there. But be careful with this advice - use new phrases only in the necessary context. When a person, to the question “what are you doing tonight?”, answers: “I am doing a siesta”, it looks at least silly (for those who are not in the know, a siesta is an afternoon rest”).

9. Study specialized literature

If you want not only to improve the literacy of your speech, but to become a truly skilled speaker, then you cannot do without good, specialized literature. Which? Personally, in this regard, I really like the materials of Radislav Gandapas - without unnecessary water and really to the point. I can also recommend the book “Secrets of Stylistics” by the authors I. Golub and D. Rosenthal.

No one, I think, will argue with the fact that the ability to speak beautifully is the most valuable human quality.

A person who speaks competently makes a favorable impression, he more often achieves his goal, he is more successful in his professional activities, it is easier for him to adapt to any life situation.

Correct speech has an almost magical effect. She wants to listen and listen; and from another - close your ears and run away.

The ability to speak beautifully and competently, unfortunately, is becoming less and less common.

People who think masterpieces sometimes do not know how to express themselves in words so vividly. It is difficult for many people to express their thoughts, feelings, to retell something interesting from what they have read, seen, experienced.

But behind the artless speech of such people sometimes hides a magnificent intellect, interesting person. But it takes time to recognize this. And time is something that we are constantly lacking.

From here there is only one way - you need and can train your speech. After all, the ability to speak beautifully is not a natural gift, but an acquired skill that can be brought to perfection. Even if you are not going to become a professional speaker, the ability to speak beautifully, use speech correctly, is extremely useful both in work and in everyday personal life.

Following some rules can significantly improve the quality of speech.

First, read more. Newspapers, magazines, quality fiction. In this sense, our domestic classics, which we all studied in our school years (or did not study, which is sad), are ideal. Read or reread the classics! And out loud, without rushing. Such a reading will have a tremendous effect. It will teach you to correct construction words in a sentence, will increase vocabulary.

Thirdly, watch the pace of speech. It shouldn't be monotonous. Pause to highlight the main points of the conversation. It should be relevant and not overdone.

Fourth, use colloquial speech, conversation comparisons, metaphors, figurative expressions, sayings, finally. This will enliven the speech, make it more interesting. And of course, a win-win option is humor. Appropriate self-irony, jokes will add shine to your speech. After all, words are only means for transmitting information, and the way you compose them, pronounce them, either sinks into your soul or not.

Fifth, speak, practice speech as much as possible. This is easy to do if you have a wide social circle. If it is not there, then a TV or radio will help. Choose the TV presenter that you like the most and try to imitate him. Repeat aloud (!) phrases after him, also copying his voice intonations. It's not easy, but after a while you will certainly see progress. In addition to developing melodic speech, you will replenish your vocabulary.

There is another fun, and only at first difficult exercise. Choose a simple household item, such as a floor lamp or house slippers. Set a time limit for yourself in which you will talk about this subject in a beautiful way. literary language. At first, it will be difficult for 5 minutes to talk about some banal floor lamp. But with each workout it will get easier. By increasing the time limit and complicating the topic, you will soon overcome uncertainty, timidity in front of words, inability to pick them up. As a result, you will be able to talk enthusiastically about your house slippers for an hour, never repeating yourself. It is better to do this in a group or with family members, turning the training into a kind of game. In turn, each becomes both a performer and a listener.

You will not notice how you fall in love with words: you will feel your power over them, they will give you confidence and will serve you.

Replenishing vocabulary, draw information from everywhere - from books, articles, films. Memorize vivid phrases, phrases, interesting speech turns. Write them down in a notebook, use in everyday speech.

Learn the meaning of unfamiliar words, paying attention to the correct stress, train their pronunciation.

Incorrect pronunciation and inappropriate use of words can make your speech ridiculous, instantly devaluing it. Make up new phrases and sentences yourself. Avoid dictionary clichés, use speech imagery.

Ideally, after several months of systematic (!) training, you will form a melodic, memorable and vivid speech. You are easy simple sentences can explain the essence of complex things. Your speech will be like the babbling of a stream. It will flow easily and freely. From now on, such a speech will always and everywhere be with you.

Excellent command of your native language will give you self-confidence. Moreover, it will change the quality of your life - you will be able to communicate with people without difficulty and fear. You will always be on top!

I wish you prosperity.

Pleasant voice, correct diction and the ability to build beautiful sentences - these are the basics effective communication with people. It is no secret that our voice affects the feelings of the interlocutor, and figurative and competent speech easily reaches his consciousness and convinces. Therefore, it is so important to learn how to speak beautifully and competently, correctly and clearly expressing your thoughts.

IN Everyday life the ability to talk beautifully will also give you and help you easily solve any problems.

The human voice is a powerful tool in the formation of interpersonal relationships. With it, you can work wonders: repel or charm, attract attention, cheer up or lull. As a rule, the gift of eloquence is rarely given to someone by nature, usually there is a lot of work behind this. Therefore, if you want to speak beautifully, so that they want to listen to you, you will have to practice.

Below are tips and techniques thanks to which you can get rid of the dialect, master the basics oratory and learn to speak beautifully and correctly. First, try recording your voice on a voice recorder. Did you listen, how did you like it? Probably not very... Noticeable stammering, swallowing endings, unnecessary pauses and many other unpleasant moments. Now it is clear what needs to be changed and what to work on in order to gain a beautiful speech. So let's get started.

Speech technique

It is divided into four subsections:

1. Breath
The key to successful communication is flawlessly delivered deep breathing aperture. This must be learned in order to reduce the pressure on the speech apparatus, then the voice turns out to be deep and sounds beautiful. Many people breathe shallowly, while the voice becomes weaker, acquires a hoarse tone, becomes muffled, gets tired quickly and sometimes even sits down.
When you succeed in breathing properly, you will have a healthy glow on your cheeks and improve your overall well-being.

2. Diction
Good diction is the first condition for beautiful speech. When you eat endings or sounds, speech sounds unintelligible. This happens due to lethargy and immobility of the lips. Because of this, burr, lisp and lisp appear. To speak beautifully means to smoothly pronounce each word, opening your mouth well for a clear pronunciation. It is necessary to learn not to pronounce phrases too quickly or in a tongue twister, as the speed of your interlocutor's thinking may differ from yours, and it will seem to him that you are speaking unintelligibly.

3. Voice
And again, breathing, because this is the basis of the sonority of the voice. To put the voice you need to learn how to breathe with the diaphragm and understand how to use the resonators. Sometimes you notice when you talk a lot, your voice sits down, becomes hoarse, a sore throat appears, it becomes difficult for you to speak and you lower your tone. But it can be made strong, sonorous, flexible, with a wide range of sound. But for this you will need to improve your speech technique, strengthen it and develop it.

4. Orthoepy
This science studies laws and regulations correct pronunciation. Deviation from the rules leads to problems in communication, the listener ceases to understand what you are saying to him and does not perceive the information that you want to convey to him. Give orthoepy a little time and your ability to beautifully express your thoughts, competently placing stress even in compound words will definitely be appreciated by those around you.

Important! Before you start doing speech development exercises, do exercises. Physical exercise improve blood circulation, warm up the muscles, relieve physical and emotional clamps, relax the forearms, shoulders and neck, and all the muscles that affect the voice.

Exercises:

• tilting the head in different directions, rotating the head in a circle;
• mahi and circular motions hands;
• turn and tilt the body in different directions, drawing circles with the hips.

After charging, you need to lie down on the mat and relax. Imagine a beautiful landscape, feel a light breeze, feel how the sun warms you and you take a deep breath of fresh air.
Now you are ready to practice.

Learning to breathe correctly

If you want to communicate beautifully and for a long time, so that your voice sounds and does not break, you just need to learn how to include the diaphragm in the process of sound production. It is located in the solar plexus area.
To start, practice your posture using the wall exercise every day for 5 minutes for several weeks. Press your back against the wall with your whole body from head to toe. Inhale through your nose, exhale through your mouth. 6 very deep breaths. On 1,2,3,4 inhale and on 5,6,7.8 exhale. Then walk around the house with different speed, while the position of the back should remain unchanged. Say to yourself more often: “I am brave and resolute!”, your body will automatically react to these words of conviction with a straight back.

Diaphragm Breathing Exercises

The ability to express your thoughts beautifully is only half the battle. You probably noticed that some people want to listen, while others, albeit very smart ones, are not. What is the point then? You will be surprised, but what really matters is not what a person says, but how he does it. A pleasant timbre, correct abdominal breathing and the ability to pronounce phrases with different intonations can turn even the most boring report into an exciting show. Below are 3 exercises, having worked out which, you will become the master of your voice.

Candle- practice slow breathing. Imagine that you are blowing on a candle, if it is difficult to imagine, then light a real one. Focus your attention on your stomach. Exhale slowly, try to keep the flame tilted.

Stubborn Candle- take a deep breath, hold your breath a little, and then start blowing sharply and with force, trying to put several such energetic exhalations into one breath.

Extinguish 10 candles- the principle, as in the previous exercise, only increase the number of candles from 3 to 10, spending less and less air on blowing out the candles, and leaving the amount of air inhaled the same.
After a few weeks of these exercises, you will notice how your diaphragmatic breathing has become automatic.

We put the vote

In order for your voice to be spacious and beautiful, you need to learn how to use the upper (skull, mouth and nose) and lower (chest) resonator systems. Breathe deeply into your belly ten times. Short inhale and slow exhale. And you can start exercising.

Moan- Don't forget about posture. Say the sound "M" with closed lips. Say it on the exhale, do not strain. Now begin to change the position of the head, pronouncing the same sound. Gradually, you will begin to feel a vibration in the upper resonator. Having mastered the sound “M”, start adding other vowels: o-a-i-s-y, so that they sound like “mmmm-e-mmm-o-mmm-a-mmm-and-mmm-u-mmm-s ". When you have mastered this practice, move on to the continuous pronunciation of different variations of these sounds.

Tongue Twisters. Saying tongue twisters is really a great way to hone your speech and master the art of speaking beautifully, pronouncing each letter clearly. Try to say the phrase: “stranded, .. stranded, stranded, .. stranded, stranded, stranded”, while rubbing your forehead. We do the same with the words “we are lazy” - rubbing the nasal cartilage, “we caught burbot” - rubbing our cheeks.

Horn- straight posture, lips with a tube, pronounce the sound "U" as you exhale. Next, combine it with other vowels. The main thing is not to change the position of the lips.

Poems– read them aloud and with intonation, using a medium tone. At the end of each line, inhale and say the line as you exhale. I recommend on the Internet to find the poem "Reading Rules", which was written by A.V. Pryanishnikov. It is ideal for correct execution this exercise.

We train diction

To get started, do a warm-up with speech apparatus. Do all these exercises 5-7 times.

• Close your mouth and relax. Say the sound "U" a couple of times, stretching uuuuuu. Now A, slowly opening her mouth vertically, no more than 3 centimeters.
• Show your teeth. Clench your jaws and stretch your lips in an unnatural smile.
• Fold your lips into a tube, jaws are closed. Make circular movements with your lips up and down, from left to right. With the tip of the tongue, touch the lower row of teeth, open the mouth no wider than 3 cm. Now lift it to the upper palate, then to the cheeks of the left-right.

Now you can do articular gymnastics.

• Speak the vowels on one exhalation, trying to use all the muscles: I-E-A-O-U-S. Gradually increase the speed of pronunciation and put several ligaments into one exhalation. After you master this bunch, start experimenting with others.
• Do the same with vowels, substituting consonants for them. Example: Bi, ba, bo…. , beep..., beep, beep..., then with the sound of P, TD, KG, FV, M, N, L, R. Gbdi .., Bdgi .., Ftki .., Mi-mi .., Mrli ... You do the same with whistling and hissing sounds S, Z, Zh, Sh, Sh: Si-sis .., Zissi .., Zdi .., Sti .. etc. Putting them in groups and combining.
  And also read as many tongue twisters as possible, they will perfectly help you work out the speech apparatus.

Orthoepy

A science that studies, a set of rules for normative literary pronunciation, stress in words, the beauty and sound of speech, as well as the rules for the articulation of sounds and phrases. Since there are countless rules in orthoepy, if you want to speak beautifully, pronouncing words correctly, you need to turn to the relevant literature.

We work with speech

You need to be able to correctly put intonation in your speech, in order to learn how to do this, it is best to train on expressive reading aloud of literary texts, recording on a voice recorder. Listen, analyze how correct it is, correct the shortcomings and read it again. Do the same with an article from a newspaper, technical literature, or any other source. Bring life and brightness to your voice - start speaking correctly!
