Here is a daily 10-minute pronunciation routine for beginners:

  1. Warm-up and relax your articulation muscles:
    • Massage your jaw hinge, cheeks, and lips to release tension.
    • Move your tongue in various directions: out, right, left, up, down.
    • Blow your lips out and move your tongue around inside your mouth.
  2. Practice vocal warm-ups:
    • Hum to warm your voice.
    • Move your soft palate by yawning.
    • Bring your voice vibrations to your chest and then your head.
  3. Pronunciation drills:
    • Use tongue twisters like “Unique New York” repeated multiple times and gradually faster.
    • Practice commonly mispronounced phrases such as “could have” and “should have” with an emphasis on subtle sounds (light “d” as a flap sound).
  4. Breath control and relaxation:
    • Place a hand on your belly and a hand on your chest.
    • Breathe into your belly (not chest) and exhale with a vocal sound to release tension.
  5. Repeat these exercises daily for best results.

This routine builds muscle memory for articulation, improves clarity, and boosts confidence in speaking English or any language. It works as a physical warm-up for the mouth similar to yoga for the body. Doing it daily will help you pronounce tricky sounds and speak more clearly and confidently. 1, 2, 3
