THIS is what they should be teaching in schools and colleges. Forget pointless assignments and being tested on things you'll never actually learn.. after watching a few of your videos and practicing all the exercises and can slowly hear progress and it's amazing to have videos such as these to our disposal . Thank you!

[@luxolontamo4440]

I wish I had this at primary school.....I wouldn't have picked up on these bad habits and pronunciation problems

im extremely excited to try these , been having alot of trouble at skl and talking with friends its extremely hard for me to talk clearly and be understandable🙂really takes a toll on my self confidence

A bonus tip at the end! You’re too kind.

[@hedgewitchtarot]

I talk for a living here on KZbin sometimes recording for 2 or 3 hours a day. I really need this as I have a strong accent, so I really need to articulate as I speak. Thank you.

You might also do well with the full body warm ups!

Hello Darren. I have being following your work for a couple of weeks now and have been doing the exercises. They are very good! I am interested in joining the 8-week course, but, I would love to see some testimonials first. For example, it would be great if you could set a video of someone before and after your course, so we could see the results! Sounds like a good idea?

[@vocabilities]

Maybe you could be that someone?

Hi guys for those of you that are looking for permanent change, take a look at the 8 week course here: - vocabilities.teachable.com/p/improve-your-voice

[@MrGengad]

Dear Darren, I've just visited your online courses, honestly speaking this is a bit expansive for me. Do you have your courses in Udemy? I can't find a course similar to yours. You course is really amazing just watching you from youtube, perhaps you should also consider Udemy online learning. I really need to enhance my speaking voice and become more articulate. This is one area which I am really struggling with, ever since I got migraine.

[@vocabilities]

I will never post content on Udemy. Why don’t you send me an email? [e-mail]

[@stevenconnelly1468]

Mr. Mcstay, I was born with a narrow airway, do you have any videos for people with a narrow airway; I thought my airway would expand as I got older, but now I am not so sure?

[@endlesscase45]

Thanks this really helped, I’ve been noticing that I don’t articulate well when talking and I tend to drag my words. This is really helping. Edit: it’s because I speak 3 different languages with all completely different accents (so I don’t just sound like an American trying to speak another language) and so that kinda ruins my articulation

It means you need to put your thoughts into better words!

[@vocabilities]

Learn English with Ìkràm clarity of diction! Take your time to pronounce words more completely and accurately!

Ala Eddine Menai they both mean the same thing. Articulate is just a smarter way of saying it

Ala Eddine Menai articulation is the clarity, speaking better is subjective. What do they mean I wonder?🤔

No... i need articulation tips that doesn't require any worm up and doing silly stuff. i want to improve my articulation just like improving my grammar, something to be imprinted in my brain and i can use it whenever i want without physical activity.
