Unclear Speech ?????

Question

When i was younger i had a lisp but i don't any more (so ive been told) but sometimes when i say words like "respect" its a bit unclear, i cant really describe how i say it but its like the s is carryed on to long and isnt 'sharp' enough, if you get what im saying

does this have a name, and and cures?

Answer 1

it's just a slight carry over from your lisp , so what , I used to stutter but as I matured most of it disappeared but I still get stuck on certain words so don't worry if the word is unclear if who your talking to isn't certain what you said they will ask you to repeat it

Answer 2

james its nothing to worry about some of the greatest people in the world have had this problem,. try not to be self concious about it bro.

its really ok ..

Answer 3

If it bothers you you could try a speech therapist. If you're not really troubled by it I wouldn't worry. We're all different. I would guess from what you say that it is easy enough to understand what you're saying. If other people make you feel uncomfortable by making comments it's because they've got issues with themselves and perhaps draw attention to other peoples problems so that the attention isn't on theirs. Just tell them to f**k off.

Answer 4

I think it's just called a lisp.

Nothing to be ashamed of. You just have to use what's left of it to your advantage. Maybe talk slower or faster and play around with your words until you find the right feel for you.  

Answer 5

Well there is no medicine that will cure this! But you can get a speech coach person and they will show you and help you pronounce things correctly.
