Do The Kids have Good Voice, Diction, A speech With Clarity?

The Problem May Be With Dialog Delivery

How To Be Selected in Auditions By Impressing Casting Directors With Excellent Dialog Delivery


The Secret Is Tongue Twisters




What are tongue twisters?


The tongue twister is a phrase or sentence which is hard to speak fast, usually because of alliteration or a sequence of nearly similar sounds. It helps develop speech skills & helps in speech therapy for the kid and adult actors with speech difficulties. To get the full effect of a tongue twister you should try to repeat it several times, as quickly as possible, without stumbling or mispronouncing.

Tongue twisters are great for helping kids concentrate on working all their speech variation and voice articulation muscles.



And they’re just plain fun.


I've compiled below a list of some of my favorite that you can help your child to improve speech, voice, articulation and dialog delivery



How can you help your child to practice tongue twisters?


Before the practice

A.
Before practice and introducing tongue twisters ask your kid to crinkle their face as tiny as possible for 5 seconds.
Then to make their face as big as possible for 5 seconds.

B.
Then introduce the tongue twister and make your child initially speak slowly then loudly increasing the repetition speed of a tongue twister

C.
Make sure you encourage them to use a “stage voice” as if they have a listening audience in their school auditorium of a large number of people.

D.
Another great variation is to have to say the tongue twister in a different emotion. (Angry, sad, happy, scared, frustrated, confused, etc.)  Or, to challenge the child to begin happily but gradually get progressively more and angrier and then sad.
