may affect the opening of the mouth
students who study acting and broadcasting often have problems such as heavy accents and biased pronunciation of words when they first start learning. someone once concluded that due to insufficient opening of the mouth, people who often speak shandong dialect, some words that require a certain degree of opening of the mouth to be pronounced clearly will not sound standard, which is generally reflected in the pronunciation of words such as "an, ai, ao, ang" and so on.
if the zygomatic muscles and soft palate are not lifted, the mouth cannot be opened, and the oral volume is insufficient, which will lead to insufficient oral resonance, which is the so-called flat pronunciation. this pronunciation method will make the voice sound lacking in beauty and professionalism, and may even cause some muscles in the mouth to not be exercised for a long time, affecting health.
therefore, for many people, oral muscle training is essential. some oral muscle exercises can be performed to make speech more clear and articulate.
how to perform oral muscle exercises scientifically?
1. take a deep breath. sit upright, relax your body, put your feet on the ground, straighten your back, and sit upright on the chair. slowly raise your shoulders and inhale slowly. when your shoulders are at the highest point, pause for a moment, exhale slowly through your mouth, and relax your body. do this 3 times in a row.
2. relax your neck. keep your head straight, slowly turn your face to the left, then return to the original position, and then turn it to the right. do 2 sets. return your neck to the center position, slowly tilt it to the left, return to the original position, then tilt it to the right, and then return to the original position. lower your head and raise your head. do 2 sets in total. then rotate your neck, 2 circles clockwise and 2 circles counterclockwise.
3. relax your shoulders. slowly raise your shoulders and quickly lower them, 2 sets in total. open your arms to both sides, and rotate your shoulders by rotating your arms, 2 circles forward and 2 circles backward.
4. oral exercises. puff up the left cheek and relax it, then puff up the right cheek and relax it, do this twice; make the sounds of "wu", "yi", "ai", and "ao" in turn, and exhale each sound 3 times; turn your face upward, look at the ceiling, and make the sound of "yi" 3 times.
5. tongue exercise. push your tongue forward, then to the left and right, do 2 sets; lick your lips slowly in circles, 2 circles clockwise and 2 circles counterclockwise.
