This voice exercise addresses jaw tension, a very common problem for many speakers. Doing jaw exercises will help you develop a strong voice, a deep voice and counteract the tendency to talk fast and mumble. Jaw exercises aren't fun or sexy, but they're a critical component of any voice exercise program.
extremely helpful exercises, great job. A little tip for the viewers running short of time: setting the video at 1.5 speed makes things faster and still understandable.
BigBadZio It would defeat the whole purpose of these videos. They idea is to speak slower and to hear someone speak in such a patient and calm manner helps inculcate the habit.
You're very welcome, and I'm glad to hear the exercise was helpful. I never thought about it, but I'm not surprised that flute players might fall prey to not just lip tension but jaw and tongue tension, as well.
Thank you for this video! I've had a problem with my speech for years, and your videos are helping me feel like I over come this problem! I shall do this exercise eveyrday! Again thank you!
Thanks for this video. It led me to seek out trigger points in my jaws and the rest of my face that have relieved a surprising amount of tension.
I didn't realize how tight my face muscles were.
A few days ago i was asked to give a welcome address by surprise in a non formal event. That was not the first time for me, but it was somehow different. A few days before, i practiced what you shared on fixing fast speech to improve engagement, clarity and clear voice during a speech delivery.
I was amazed on how the audience paid attention to me, it seemed that they nearly 100 percent listened to me and gave me a very enthusiastic response, proving that it is better to pass a slower delivery than to talk fast which audience hardly perceive what the content is all about. I didn't expect that it would work that way, that i didn't spend so much energy but i got much lively response.
I must thank you for this simple, practical, and proven method Dr.Jay, i wish i had found your channel years ago! your techniques do work
I will recommend your channel to those who will benefit from your channel, that's for sure. Keep sharing the good job Dr.Jay!
Thanks for the feedback, Jennifer! And a huge thank you for sharing it on FB!
Thanks Jay, I've been looking at some of your videos and found them extremely helpful.
You're welcome, Matthew. I'm glad to hear it, and thanks for the comment.
This is very helpful, thank you, Mr. Miller. I'm researching speech improvement for singing and speaking right now. I am trying to educate myself using the internet (there are wonderful books out there, but my book budget can't support all my self-education!), and your resources have been useful to me.
Ive had a head injury and ive attended speech therapy however they never work on my speech and you do this a lot better than they do
This feels so good. Thank you kind Sir!
This is awesome. I have posted this all over my FB pages! Thank you!
Thank you a really helpful video.
thank you very much my Master
You're welcome, Clint. Thanks for the comment, and good luck with the new position.
These exercises are great, thanks a lot, Jay.
You're welcome. Thanks for the message.
Fantastic advice.. Its long been an issue for me, and I get quite defensive when my family tell me i constantly mumble. Definitely something I can work on.
Thank you.
I like Jay Millers teaching style. It's very slow and methodical. Also his voice is relaxing. I feel asleep listening to one of your lessons last night hahah
That may or may not be a good thing lol. Seriously, thanks for the comment, and I hope you're finding the exercises helpful.
Thanks a lot I'm gonna try it......
Thanks very much sir. i ama casual flute player and i was facing problem in sustaining breath for long notes. This excerise helped me a lot ;
Thank you so much Jay!! Your exercises really work!! I started out with the spinal roll, then the tongue relaxation and the jaw relaxation and I can't believe how much more relaxed I feel and how my speech has improved instantly!! I've been doing these exercises several times throughout the day. I love to sing and sing in a rock band (never had any lessons unfortunately) and I've hurt my voice more than once from too much tension and improper technique! I even had surgery to remove nodules in the past. I don't ever want to have to go through that again. I am working hard at learning to take care of my voice. Your channel is very helpful. I am going to download your free guide as well. Thanks again! :)
+Veradoradehon I'm glad to hear you're finding ways to care for your voice and that the exercises are helpful. Let me know if you have any questions that come up and don't miss my upcoming video on silent in-breaths.
Veradoradehon do you have to do every exercises all together? Or like one exercise in a day ?
Thanks
thanks!..never thought of a reply from you sir..
Works very well. With my palms sliding down my cheek I look a bit like Edvard Munch's "The Scream", but who cares. Thank you very much for posting this.
You are my speaking coach. Thank you
You're very welcome, Deepak.

Thanks a lot I'm gonna try i
t......
Thnak you so much. I have a problem when I speak for a longer time. I am bass; it's important for my sining to keep the jaw elaxed and open my mouth wide without stressing the muscles (masseter). Thank you for this enlightenment.
Nice Thanks for sharing
amazing
Awesome helpful video.
Thanks! Glad to hear that.
You're welcome! I'm so glad to hear the videos are providing some direction and encouragement, and I deeply appreciate your comment. Let me know if there's any other topic that would be useful for you.
Great! There are more where that came from. Let me know how things progress. I'd be happy to help in any way I can.
Thanks for posting those exercises helped. I didnt realise I clenched and had a problem till my dentist told me I was grinding my teeth
s'okay. I'm happy to chat again.
Sorry, I also meant to say thank you for posting this video.
lol Yeah, we tend to hold a lot of tension in that area. Be gentle with it, and patient. Given time, it will start to let go.
you are a great teacher
Thanks, Raymond. I need to hear that once in a while. :-)
Well I second that sentiment Raymond!!!
Hi Jay, I had no idea my jaw tension had so much to do with my voice.
hello!sir Jay Miller..I'm applying for a call center agent right.I know this will help me a lot..thank you very much for this timely and selflessly uploaded video..thanks for your help,more power and God bless!..
Hey sir thanks for helping people out .. Muchos blessings .. I have a question i have a problem with my jaw everytime i open my mouth i hear a click con muy left side of my jaw my dentist said muy jawline mayor be loose and muy lowert jaw its kinda foward.. How can i fix this naturaly? No surgery
8:15 is the best! Thank you!
That's correct, at least for vowel sounds. The front edge of the tongue should rest against the lower teeth (with the exception of /er/ in the case of North American English). Where does your tongue want to rest when you're not making it do anything?
Maybe a little, but it should be "good pain," not "bad pain," if that makes any sense. Don't overdo it. Be gentle. If you get too aggressive with your jaw, it will just tense up more. Also, if you have a preexisting jaw problem, make sure you check with your doctor before doing something like this.
Damnnn this is so crazy I need a lot alot
Hey Jay, do you know the position the tongue needs to be when forming words? I was told to keep my tongue at the bottom behind my lower teeth; but it makes the back of my tongue push up to the throat. Please help!!!
Thank you so much! My pug thanks you!
Hey Jay thank you for the helpful information. I feel a lot of tension in my sternocleidomastoid muscles when I speak in a conversation. This happens especially when speaking in a group. Any advice you could help me with? Thanks
Quentin, are you sure it's the sternocleidomastoids? It's much more common to see tension in the platysmus, from overworking the lower jaw, or the scalenes, from shallow, high breaths. Since the sternocleidomastoid is active in lateral rotation of the head, I'd be puzzled to see it tensing up in the context of speech. Regardless, I'd recommend neck relaxation exercises involving rotation (assuming you have no neck issues). If you have trouble finding them on RUclips, I could show you a few using Skype.
At the top of my mouth behind my top row teeth. When I talk sometimes it stays there then my words sounds all broken up!
i have student how has very slurred voice and he cn,t improve his speech i will do these exercises him
but for how long
Is it normal for that muscle to feel kind of sore right after the stretching? This is my first time doing this
Thank you, I just got into streaming, and I hate my voice, I found I need to relax and open up. Thanks for helping to put me on a learning track.
You're welcome. I'm glad the information is helpful. What is streaming? My quick Google search wasn't very enlightening.
Twitch.tv, I stream and monetize gameplay videos with my brother. :) So impressing people with your voice pays the bills in that situation. Might be an opportunity for your services!
Thank u sir!!! Can we use chungum for massator muscle exercise???
Chewing gum? No. That will tend to increase jaw tension.
My god. Massaging that muscle is painful. That is, not a sharp pain or anything like that, but it feels like it's been stuck for ages or something!
Yes lol
Jay Miller, I’m starting to realize more and more how much of a culprit jaw tension is for me. I’d love to get your thoughts on something. I’ve heard speech therapists say when we open our mouth we don’t want our lower jaw going forward, so that we feel our jaw unhinging. Rather, we want to open our jaw backward. But then I’ve heard chiropractors say it’s easier on the jaw to open it forward. And then I’ve heard others say it’s best to let it hang freely. What do you think? It’s hard for me to experiment because I feel like my jaw hurts no matter what I do. But I don’t want to make it worse.
I think we should always work with the natural movement of the lower jaw which is a swing downward and backward. I probably fall into the "let it hang naturally" camp, and I definitely wouldn't be thrusting the jaw forward. Also, beware of routinely opening your lower jaw further than two finger-widths of space, a mistake I made early in my career and now wish I could erase.
@@voiceandspeech Thank you! I will keep that in mind. By the way, this is the video (or at least one of them) that caused me to become confused. Granted the context is forward head posture, but several times in it he mentions the strain backward movement of the jaw can have on the jaw joint, and the benefit of moving the jaw forward. Maybe I'm misunderstanding him. But that's why I was confused. I think I will heed yours and others' advice over his, since I may be misunderstanding him.

@@chrisctlr Thanks for the video. I watched about half of it and I'm glad I did. I think confusion arises if you focus on jaw protrusion without the context of cervical retraction. There's a whole interacting system at work there and you can't isolate just one piece of it. (I love that model he uses for demonstration.)
@@voiceandspeech Thanks for taking a peek at the vid. That makes sense. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Sir practice has been started before two days but i don't understand breathing concept, i read book pause 1 sec and two sec but how i take breath within 1 sec, should this breath be taken from mouth or nose?
For speaking, it's always a mouth breath. The point of the 1-2 second pause is to make sure you actually get a real in-breath, since most people are grabbing very quick shallow breaths or even holding their breath.
Do mewing and jaw tension have any relation
Mewing?
hi Jay. how long do you advice to do the massage daily
Hi, Cecil. You might want to do the massage for 1-2 minutes, at several points throughout the day. Just don't overdo it. Jaw relaxation should feel good.
thanks
Hmm, that's interesting. Try contacting me through my web site, starting with email. Perhaps we can arrange a video chat so I can see what's going on.
Will this exercise help to cure from stammering?
You'd have to ask a speech therapist about that, but I doubt it.
Will the massaging of your cheek muscles cause increased jowls?
I'm not sure, but if that's a concern, you might consider simple applying pressure to the masseter muscle, without the downward drag. You could also choose other jaw exercises that don't involve pulling down on your cheeks. There are several alternatives.
Jay Miller All right thanks :)
Ok; I have talked to you before, you probably don't remember me under my RUclips name.
sir. I can't speak clearly in front of people. my word are missing n sound is scratch. sometime my word are repeated doubled. I feel guilty in speaking in front of people. please give idea how to curie
+Umesh Bohara
A lack of clarity is usually caused by fast speech (see ruclips.net/video/THcop_Jhgrg/видео.html), a soft voice (see ruclips.net/video/eUraBXOJpj0/видео.html) and/or not opening your mouth far enough (see ruclips.net/video/XJ76L3YvdwE/видео.html). A scratchy voice is usually the result of tension and a lack of breath support (see ruclips.net/video/BAiZGrV9rng/видео.html).
treatment not in hindi?
Lessons are in English
Nevermind lol
You're quite more slow man.
