Answer 1

Think of your voice as a marble. Then focus on moving that marble to where you need to, the tip of your tongue for english, the back of the throat for russian, the nose for a funny voice. Always, always speak from your stomach, not your throat or you will blow your vocal cords in a few minutes.
