As we get older, that habit can change (evidence rampant abuse of the word 'like,' especially in teenagers), but it nonetheless remains a habit. Marbles break down the habit of bad speech. They take the usual and make it unusual, 'reseting' the neural pathways in our brains and enabling clear speech through first conscious then unconscious attention. 2. Confidence. Anything you can say with marbles in your mouth you can say better without marbles, right? Tips for the Marble-Speech Reparations Technique: * Don't tuck the marbles in your cheeks, keep them front and center where you really need to work to speak around them. * Don't just let the marbles mess you up – beat them! Speak clearly, even with marbles! * As you get better, read faster. Or just sing! Singing seems to remove any local dialects and indigenous accents. The Beatles never sang with an accent - did they? |
