Say the words “poke,” “toll,” “boat,” “cope,” and “stone” back-to-back while speaking clearly and slowly, paying close attention to the long “o” in each syllable.
- Your mouth should be warmed up – Last but not least, finish your diction drills with some classic vocal drills like tongue trills and raspberries. Even your diction practice can lead to vocal warm-ups.
- When you have to portray a doctor or detective on television who is investigating a homicide with a complicated medicine name, take diction classes if possible. They teach you how to improve your diction through various methods such as penciling it in. When my mouth won’t cooperate and there isn’t time to mess around, I place a pencil horizontally between my teeth (like a dog holding a bone) and say the problematic phrase or combination of words slowly but clearly. My tongue must be aware of its proper position when I speak that word because of the obstruction the pencil causes. I usually have no trouble pronouncing the word when I pull the pencil out of my lips since my tongue knows where to point.
