How can i open my mouth when i speak?

Question

when i talk, i cant open my mouth a lot, so it sounds like im bored, and i have no pitch in my voice, and it makes it deeper than it is, which is also harder to understand. is there anything i can do to improve the way i speak without going to a speech class or a speech counselor...etc?

im 16.

Answer 1

Singing works. Also, talk to the mirror (with nobody watching, of course) and speak, talk everything, anything. Make sure you learn to stretch your mouth and speak according to how a word is to be pronounced. Read a book aloud while looking at the mirror.Keep practicing and you'll see the results.

Answer 2

I would be more concerned as to why you can't open your mouth a lot. Is there a medical reason? If so, have you talk with your doctor for solutions?

Answer 3

google singing exercises. believe it or not... there are stretches for the mouth. If that doesn't work, try make it a point to show your emotion in your face while you are talking; it makes a huge difference. good luck!

Answer 4

i had the same problem you had and i had a really strong belizean accent when i was little, i took speech classes for about 4 years and that helped me to lessen the accent but i still talked as if i was just mumbling. I would really suggest a singing or acting class for you because they give you mouth and facial exercises to really help you articulate and project you voice.It really helped me and i hope it does the same for you!
