Hi guys for those of you that are looking for permanent change, take a look at the 8 week course here: - vocabilities.teachable.com/p/improve-your-voice
Dear Darren, I've just visited your online courses, honestly speaking this is a bit expansive for me. Do you have your courses in Udemy? I can't find a course similar to yours. You course is really amazing just watching you from youtube, perhaps you should also consider Udemy online learning. I really need to enhance my speaking voice and become more articulate. This is one area which I am really struggling with, ever since I got migraine.
Mr. Mcstay, I was born with a narrow airway, do you have any videos for people with a narrow airway; I thought my airway would expand as I got older, but now I am not so sure?
THIS is what they should be teaching in schools and colleges. Forget pointless assignments and being tested on things you'll never actually learn.. after watching a few of your videos and practicing all the exercises and can slowly hear progress and it's amazing to have videos such as these to our disposal . Thank you!
I talk for a living here on RUclips sometimes recording for 2 or 3 hours a day. I really need this as I have a strong accent, so I really need to articulate as I speak. Thank you.
I had problems with pronunciation and speaking English since its not my native language. But watching your videos really helps a lot and also to Rebecca Lindquist. I've been watching her videos too
@@ImproveYourVoice Ive been watching some of your vidoes since were under enhanced community quarantine here in Philippines. It helps me a lot especially in my field of duty. Ive been working in a BPO for 2 years, believe me, I improved a lot since english is not my primary language. But I look funny in the mirror when I do the articulation exercises and stretching. Hahaha. Buongiorno.
@@ImproveYourVoice yes. I watched the 20 min warm up video and the breath exercise videos you posted. I have been doind this for like 2 weeks or so, and sure I have'nt experienced huge spiking improvement but it's better than it was
im extremely excited to try these , been having alot of trouble at skl and talking with friends its extremely hard for me to talk clearly and be understandable🙂really takes a toll on my self confidence
Wow I love the exercise..I always held myself back as I didn't want to sound dumb or silly .. my wrong thinking pattern always made me gold backmyself amd led me to self sabotaging and loose my self esteem completely .. thank you for this valuable video ..this will really help me communicate and build a better relationship with myself ..and just simply be comfortable with who I am
I appreciate your great videos, Darren. I've seen a number of your videos; they are strong and beneficial. So I want to practice and see what happens. God's blessings are upon you.
Hello Darren. I have being following your work for a couple of weeks now and have been doing the exercises. They are very good! I am interested in joining the 8-week course, but, I would love to see some testimonials first. For example, it would be great if you could set a video of someone before and after your course, so we could see the results! Sounds like a good idea?
Hey I'm 18 and I couldn't speak to I was 8 yrs old and had a stutter since age 10, and there on I struggled to articulate my words. Like make a sentence and use necessary words and make it what I was thinking-into a nice clear comprehendable long sentence.
1:08 this is such fun to watch on mute and really helpful. Will definitely use these tips before recording my very first full length youtube tutorial ))
Thanks so much for this. Very much needed. I'v been having issues in my life to get rid of my annoying tone😉need to correct it somehow. I'd like to know why my tone doesn't clear when i speak, like even when speak louder people would say, 'we cannot hearyou properly' . Could you help to correct this.
Improve Your Voice like she’s not speaking loud , I get the same thing is there anyway I can talk louder but sound better, I feel like I talk normal but it’s low and when I talk loud it seems to obviousl
Hi Darren thank you very much for your videos. I have benefited immensely Will it be possible for you to make a video on the butterfly technique for lateral lisp. Thank you very much
Thanks this really helped, I’ve been noticing that I don’t articulate well when talking and I tend to drag my words. This is really helping. Edit: it’s because I speak 3 different languages with all completely different accents (so I don’t just sound like an American trying to speak another language) and so that kinda ruins my articulation
My fist day at acting school, I thought I’d walked into a very special needs group. Sone of the actions and sounds were off the chart crazy. If Someone were to jump out with a camera Wouldn’t have been surprised. 😁
Hello, thank you for your efforts in these videos, well, i am a native speaker of english and my professors always keep saying to me "you have to work on your articulation", what does this mean exactly and how i can overcome it? Thank you in advance
wait, are u kiddin me, i chew a gum like every two hours, and for last 7 years i have problems with articulation, do u really thing there is a conection? 😳
No... i need articulation tips that doesn't require any worm up and doing silly stuff. i want to improve my articulation just like improving my grammar, something to be imprinted in my brain and i can use it whenever i want without physical activity.
@@ImproveYourVoice yeah likr id start to say a line but then my voice kinda cracks a bit its annoying. Probably cause I have family roommates so im too nurvouse to do voice impressions too loud
@@ImproveYourVoice sometimes i get shaky when i do a video and then that happens. I have a channel ive done a few scene impressions Im fairly proud of but there are moments where it cracks a bit i also tend to go too fast ehen i do a scene and get out of breath. That might be part of the problem
5:25 What a to-do to die today, at a minute or two to two; a thing distinctly hard to say, but harder still to do. We'll beat a tattoo, at twenty to two a rat-tat-tat- tat-tat-tat- tat-tat-tattoo and the dragon will come when he hears the drum at a minute or two to two today, at a minute or two to two.
Been doing this for over twelve years at times of need and not only am I pretty dexterous vocally but saliva production is tip top! That said, it’s an interesting point and I shall consult my doctor friends to ensure the validity of this widely recognised technique. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!
@@ImproveYourVoice Those ones where people are are required to stretch wide. People at their home might do it really hard, which might lead to sprain or other issues. People need to be provided with the best practices (or things they shouldn't do) while doing such exercises.
Syed Ahmed the truth is no one will ever open their mouth wider than they do when they yawn And I do tell people to stay within comfort zone. This is RUclips and advice that works. The info shared is nothing new and widely spread in classes across the globe. Only as dangerous if the person watching isn’t very bright 😉

I wish I had this at primary school.....I wouldn't have picked up on these bad habits and pronunciation problems
Absolutely, I believe that proper speaking and Excel are two things that should definitely be part of our curriculum
It's all about 💸
My FBI agent is probably laughing his ass off.
Might have saved your life, lol 😂
This is the BEST channel on the topic by far.
2013Electronics&Computers boom! 🙏 what’s your favourite vid?
I too recommend the same
I was performing the facial stretches and I was pulled over for a sobriety check.
for real ?
So interesting! Didn’t realise there were so many factors that go into speaking
There are! Couldn't this at-least be easy? haha
there aren't
Almost dislocated my jaw doing the stretches 😂
kleash try not to push further than Is possible. Just within your range. 😉
oh my god same, my jaw made so many weird crunchy noises
Go gently!
Sounds like to me you almost did it right.
Sounds worrying to me 😬
A bonus tip at the end! You’re too kind.
I talk for a living here on RUclips sometimes recording for 2 or 3 hours a day. I really need this as I have a strong accent, so I really need to articulate as I speak. Thank you.
You might also do well with the full body warm ups!
I have never relaxed my jaw there -- this is amazing! Thank you for the great tips!
Milo & Stefanie Do FL great! Takes time but gradual works best right!

Eliza Deen I’m getting loads of comments like this! Maybe I should go into comedy! 😁
Thank you very much.
I'm finding these really useful. Thank you for sharing!
1:39 had me rolling even though it's just an exercise
another thing to practice while waiting for the bus

GREAT Video! gonna see what the others say in the comments. AND WOW, another RUclipsr that replies to comments.
Gabriel DeRapp of course. Do others not reply?
@@ImproveYourVoice Not very many and most of the time they do not.
Gabriel DeRapp are you quite an active user then?
Thank you so much for this, kind sir. I can notice my improvement after 1 exercise. 👍👍👍
I was chewing gum as he said it "stop it", so off to the trash the gum goes! LOL
"The human torch was denied a bank loan." "The Arsonist had oddly shaped feet." Warm ups done.
Love this! Anchor man right?

Sherry Fernando I’m not sure it’s your tone that hinders others from understanding you. Can you tell me more?
Improve Your Voice like she’s not speaking loud , I get the same thing is there anyway I can talk louder but sound better, I feel like I talk normal but it’s low and when I talk loud it seems to obviousl
iii Eazy iii have you tried filming yourself speaking and watching it back?
iii Eazy iii build up more breath support to help you project without pushing!
Thanks for reminding about this. Have you done any lessons with regards to this.
Would this improve the pitch of voice? a bit louder clear or confidence..? Thank you for all this information.
The way he smiles kinda ressembles when that actor of Homelander smiles 😃
No way... i actually thought the same exact thing a little before i saw your comment
Great video!
Kotsos541 why thank you!
Hi Darren thank you very much for your videos. I have benefited immensely
Will it be possible for you to make a video on the butterfly technique for lateral lisp.
Thank you very much
trigger_986 I shall look into it
Because I'm not native English speaker , what's the difference when we say to someone : Speak better and articulate better ?
Ala Eddine Menai they both mean the same thing. Articulate is just a smarter way of saying it
Ala Eddine Menai articulation is the clarity, speaking better is subjective. What do they mean I wonder?🤔
loved this!
Lovely! The dragon has made my day!:-)
Champion loving these free lessons, also really keen to do your course but is it possible to pay monthly?
Thanks!
Thanks this really helped, I’ve been noticing that I don’t articulate well when talking and I tend to drag my words. This is really helping.
Edit: it’s because I speak 3 different languages with all completely different accents (so I don’t just sound like an American trying to speak another language) and so that kinda ruins my articulation
it's a superb exercise...😎🙏🤝
hardik godhani 🙏🙏🙏
hardik godhani do you still practice?
yes...i do...👍
Great how’s it going?
Me liking ur video before watching
Hello Darren,
what to do if i hear clicks in my jaw when i stretch wide open?
Eli Graf both sides or just one?
@@ImproveYourVoice only right side
Eli Graf have you had any trauma to your jaw? There is a possibility of TMJ so maybe speak with an osteopath or doctor!
Can you give a more detailed explanation to why chewing gum is bad for your articulation?
Over Tightens the jaw muscles
Not sure if this is a prank, but it's working.
My fist day at acting school, I thought I’d walked into a very special needs group. Sone of the actions and sounds were off the chart crazy. If Someone were to jump out with a camera Wouldn’t have been surprised. 😁
Thank u
Rohan Bhora no no thank YOU!
Nice video sir
Thanks
will this excercise help in pronounciation of word correctly. et how long shall it take to see results
Satimon Taban totally up to you! The more you practice the better it’ll get!
a show guys very good
I’m confused but thank you 🙏
I really wish I actually had 30 minutes a day to do all the necessary stretches😞
wake up earlier
I can't do it in feomt of the family i feel shy :(
Hello, thank you for your efforts in these videos, well, i am a native speaker of english and my professors always keep saying to me "you have to work on your articulation", what does this mean exactly and how i can overcome it? Thank you in advance
It means you need to put your thoughts into better words!
Learn English with Ìkràm clarity of diction! Take your time to pronounce words more completely and accurately!
Sincerely Maria it’s not always the words as much as the way you use them! 😉
Omg I can't stop laughing 😂😂
It's like a laughing therapy . Thank u so much
Having fun is a good method don't you think?
How does this technique helps in someone who stutters?
Did I say that? It helps with dexterity. It’s for articulation!
OMG it realy works
Sir u r osm love from Pakistan
Lol try watching this with no sound 😂
Congratulations LoL 😂 oh you got me man!!! Oh dear! 😳
We should do this as a matter of course every morning really, shouldn't we?
hello, I'm a little bit stutter and could I ask you some personal questions about it?
乌格特木勒 go for it. You can email darren@vocabilities.com
I know it’s not funny but exercising my face was fun and funny 😂😂
Thank you for spending time on this whole series very helpful indeed
😍👍🏽👍🏽thank you
Welcome 😁
I have a stuttering problem so its harder for me to articulate
*_Gonna be honest, Morgan Freeman and Alan Rickman brought me here!_*
wait, are u kiddin me, i chew a gum like every two hours, and for last 7 years i have problems with articulation, do u really thing there is a conection? 😳
A very wise Vocal coach game me this advice when I used to mumble and I’m now a voice coach myself! Go figure 😎
1. Warm up muscles
moving my faces to any direction
No...
i need articulation tips that doesn't require any worm up and doing silly stuff.
i want to improve my articulation just like improving my grammar, something to be imprinted in my brain and i can use it whenever i want without physical activity.
Without physical activity your articulation is merely thought!
Thanks Darren!!👍
No worries💪🏻
Overbite also causes problems
When i speak normally in my pov i sound great but for others i sound like a robot/stiff
If you fear that you'll bite into your finger you can keep a pencil between your teeth.
Or invest in a Morrison Bone prop!
If you did all that while you are talking to someone, they would run away.
Turn off sound and re-watch this video 😂
Kodak black need that right now
you look like walter white from breaking bad when you show your teeth
UNESS Ha ha ha😁
Yup and i just finished that series few days ago..its awesome🔥🔥
Ha ha, my take away from this video is that we should just yawn.
I wonder how you feel when you watch yourself in this video making faces😂
What’s the poem
Justin Shattuck eh
Justin Shattuck ‘Oh what a to do to die today’
My voice tends to catch a bit
Catch?
@@ImproveYourVoice yeah likr id start to say a line but then my voice kinda cracks a bit its annoying. Probably cause I have family roommates so im too nurvouse to do voice impressions too loud

Mumble rappers have left the chat
Ha haa haaaaa
Play it on x2 soeed
Is anyone just unable to do this exercise at 5:24 , because I just sound completely unintelligible. If I do it with my pinky finger its easier.
My face and jaw are fine but for some reason my tongue keeps tripping over itself
