speak more clearly

I currently slur,mumble words very often and I speak at a very fast pace..
As of today I am going to attempt at fixing my speech disorder by reading poems and books, and exercising my tongue.

When I’m reading out loud, acting, or even just talking, I stutter and mumble a lot. I’m asked to repeat things a lot, and sometimes people can’t hear me. I’m trying to read things aloud when I’m alone to see if that helps any.

can anyone help i need advice/help on how to speak slower and clearer, its starting to cause problems in my relationship as it frustrates my partner a lot, I’m getting married in august and would like to do something about it before then if i can, Ive seen my GP for advice and to see if he could refer me to a therapist but i was basically fobbed off! i seem to speak fast without breaks in my words and i sometimes mumble and the more i think about it to try and stop myself i sometimes clam up and cant get any words out, can anyone please give me any advice as i don’t know where to turn? thanks Andrew

For work, I had to record some audio with our department’s music guy. He had me read off some lines and then ad-lib a little bit (I’m the only girl in the department, and they needed a girl voice.) I found the file later on and listened to it. When I’m aware of my tone, I actually speak pretty well. I think I just need to be more conscious of how I’m speaking. I felt better hearing that recording. :)

I’m fed up of hearing “what?” dozens of times a day. I speak too quickly and slur my speech, probably as a result of being too shy and growing up in a place where my accent was teased.
Thankfully i’m a confident person now, but i’ve still got unclear speech, which needs to go!!!

I heard myself on a phone message the other day, and wow, wow, wow. I talk waaaay too fast, run all my words together, and there’s almost some nasal-ness happening. I have a pretty decent singing voice, so… yikes. I’ll practice my non-regional diction or something.

“The human torch was denied a bank loan.”
“The arsonist had oddly shaped feet.”

i know this is not relavent to everyone reading this,but i am like 3 days strong without weed,after 5-6 years of hardcore blazing,and i really feel more confident when im speaking to others..ok im not like a modern romantic..coming up with all theses fancy lines..but ive been reading more&become a huge fan of quotes now..this is great place..http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Main_Page this site is full of them..and it really inspires you..sorry about my crappy wording&choice of words..all i can say..just think before you speak..and talk louder than you would..no SO loud..just louder..like theres some deaf guy at the back of a room or someshit..and also learn to clear your throat..most of us forget and come out with all these groggy sounding mumble sounds..that always seems to split up when it hit your throat…im drunk..not stoned&drunk..so blame the drunkness on my crappy little story here..PEACE PPL..and beleive in ur self..lov ya lol

I can write pretty darn well, but when it comes to actually speaking out loud, I always stutter, mess the words up, and/or mumble at some point. I need to stop doing that.

My mom always gets on me for this. My mind will be half here and half there, and I will talk about one thing and think about another. Then, I start kind of talking to myself. Also, when I get really excited, I talk really fast and high-pitched. My boyfriend usually gets the blunt of this type. ;-)

its not about spekaing clearly its more about being comfortable wit the way you speak, and if youre understood, thats all that counts, the reason why i had so much trouble with the wazy i spoke was not because of my clarity but becaise of my lack of confidence.
