Warm up gently
Begin with relaxed breathing and gentle humming. The goal is coordination, not forcing volume. Stop if you feel pain or persistent strain.
Move into slow articulation exercises using consonants and vowel combinations, then gradually increase pace while keeping words clear.
Read for meaning
Use a newspaper paragraph, scene or short story and mark changes in thought. Practice making the meaning clear without adding artificial dramatic emphasis.
Record one minute of speech each week and compare clarity, pace and unnecessary filler sounds.
