Speech disorders and diction defects are found in the vast majority of children. Timely corrected bite, and sometimes cutting of the frenulum, exercises with a speech therapist work wonders. However, not everyone manages to get rid of speech problems at a young age. It is not surprising that many adults, dissatisfied with their reprimand, turn to the services of specialists. A professional will immediately say how soon a person can hope for an improvement in speech development, since some of the shortcomings are more difficult to eliminate. Nevertheless, you can develop speech at any age, if you have patience and perseverance.

If you practice with a speech therapist, he will most likely determine for you the best ways to develop speech. However, there are several universal options that suit everyone who wants to improve their pronunciation. For example, correct speech breathing. To develop it, you need to perform several simple exercises daily. Say the sounds a, o, y, and, s, as you exhale, try their various combinations, for example, ay, oi and so on. Alternate the pronunciation of sounds with short breaths. Also, as you exhale, count out loud to ten, trying not to interrupt the sounds.

Learn tongue twisters. Say them every day in front of the mirror, making sure your articulation is clear. Start slowly, in a whisper, emphasizing each growling, hissing sound. Each time, read tongue twisters faster and louder, but do this without “chewing” or “swallowing” the sounds. Patter-tongue twisters can be any, including those that have been familiar to you since childhood: "Sasha walked along the highway, " "Three ships maneuvered, maneuvered." But still, choosing them, try to pronounce more often those in which there are sounds that are problematic for you.

One of the signs of developed speech is correct intonation. That is, the arrangement of stresses in words, pauses, changes in the volume of the voice during the story. The adult can learn intonational expressiveness of speech independently. To do this, write simple sentences or children's verses on a piece of paper, for example: “There is a goby, sways, sighs on the go
". Read them out loud, with different intonations, each time changing the stress in the sentence so that the meaning also changes. Take logical pauses. Accustom yourself not to blur the entire text in one fell swoop.
Useful advice
If you can’t develop speech on your own, sign up for acting classes, as a rule, they are open at any theater university or school.
