Listening to how a person speaks, you can form a certain opinion about his cultural level. In order for your speech to begin to approach the ideal, you need to seriously tinker with it. Today, many different exercises have been developed for this.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are a person of the "speech" profession - a teacher, lawyer, politician or actor, you need to learn how to speak correctly. Use audio recordings with a reference pronunciation, comparing them to the recording of your own voice. This method is suitable if you understand the material well "by ear".
Step 2
Combine the stressed syllable with the strongest body movement if you are a person with a kinesthetic modality (that is, it is easier for you to fix the material, including the body in the work).
Step 3
Use tables and figures, making the most of your visual perception if you have a visual aptitude.
Step 4
To learn how to correctly highlight the stressed syllable in a word, while pronouncing words, highlight the stressed syllable with a wave of your hand or throwing a ball. Look for words that have the same rhythmic pattern, such as "vase, base, rose," while clapping your hands on the stressed syllable.
Step 5
Read the texts of Homer's works by syllables, taking a deep breath, gradually accelerating the pace of reading, this exercise helps very well to get rid of dialectic. It is used to correct speech in many higher educational institutions that train people for acting professions.
Step 6
Learn what position your tongue, jaws and lips should be when you pronounce certain sounds, and try to correct them as you pronounce the words. Do not rely only on your own muscle sensations, fix each position of the vocal apparatus by pronouncing syllables in front of a mirror.
Step 7
Follow the consistency when correcting the dialect. Listen to audio recordings of literary pronunciation samples. Remember that it is impossible to correct a dialect in a very short time. Your dedication, combined with systematic practice, will guarantee your success on the path to literary pronunciation.
