This is really hard for me! When I tried it in the mirror, I can barely go to the side at all without my jaw also moving to the side. I'm really excited, because it seems like my system just got a whole lot of new information.

[@SpeechSecrets]

Yes, it is challenging to isolate and not dominate with jaw movement. Glad the mirror is helpful and that you liked it! Keep me posted!

[@pinok20]

I will start to do these exercises, since I don’t like how my mouth moves when I talk

[@SpeechSecrets]

Wishing you success in your speech journey!

Ugh! Tiring exercises but I love them. Thank you for the video!!!!

[@SpeechSecrets]

This one is tiring! I did 2 takes and was sore the next day! Thanks for watching and for your feedback!

[@Afluvnim]

I can't do this on right side. Any idea why

[@SpeechSecrets]

I have observed some individuals without neurological deficit have some asymmetry when doing this exercise. But I can't comment on your case specifically.

[@BettyJC2010]

I've been doing several of you facial exercises off and on for several years, after I was diagnosed with Ataxia in 2020. I'm still not speaking well but I can tell it helps. Sometimes I get tired and take a break. Thank you so much for being here for us who need you. My insurance doesn't pay everything for me to have these exercises .

[@SpeechSecrets]

Betty, thanks so much for sharing your story and experience. I’m glad to hear these videos have been a useful resource for you, especially with insurance limitations. Comments like yours keep me motivated to keep making videos. So thank you. Wishing you the best in your speech journey.

Good morning

[@misterbowers5995]

I am using my diaphragm when breathing. I just can't get my voice out without coughing. It sometimes sounds like trying to start a car.

[@SpeechSecrets]

Oof that sounds uncomfortable! Hoping you’re getting the support you need for this 🙌

[@misterbowers5995]

@@SpeechSecrets no one knows what the problem is. I've had every test there is for my voice. Drs say good news, I'm thinking what's wrong and they say everything looks good. My tests come back fine. Im thinking that piece but by my left vocal chord should be removed. Did I tell you about that?

[@shaynaformity1384]

@@misterbowers5995 have you had an evaluation by a chiropractor or Feldenkrais practitioner to see whether all of your ribs and each part of your spine are being mobilized when you breathe?

[@SpeechSecrets]
