10/10 Ways to Become Dangerously Articulate

10 out of 10 ways to become dangerously articulate but they get progressively more niche. Stop over-explaining, keep your points short and simple. Syllable separation. Try saying “next step” with a distinct pause between the two S sounds. Try it five times fast. Upgrade your vocab. When you can't articulate something, that basically means you can't find the right word for what you're thinking of. Simple fix for this, read more. Read aloud. Deliberate practice. Spend five minutes a day reading a book out loud, over-pronouncing every syllable. It feels ridiculous but it trains your facial muscles. No one does this. Lower your vocal register. Speak from your chest, not your throat. A slightly lower pitch slows your speech down and feels more calm. Stop talking through your nose. Pinch your nose while you talk. If your voice barely changes, you're not actually nasal, you're just under-articulating. Open your mouth wider and let the sound escape through it instead of getting stuck behind your teeth. Vary your cadence. Monotone speech kills attention. Speed up slightly to build excitement and slow down significantly right before that actually matters. Speak on the exhale. Start talking right as you breathe out. It stops your voice from going shaky and high-pitched and keeps your tone steady. Write more. Write down what you actually think about things. Clear writing is clear thinking, and clear thinking is where articulate speech actually starts. Record yourself. I got this one from Ving Yong, Film five minutes of yourself talking. Watch it first with the sound off, you'll see how your body communicates. Then listen to the audio with your eyes closed. You'll hear how you communicate. See which one is better and worse. There's often a clear winner. Get to the point where your friends won't be able to recognize you. Follow for more tips.
