I was thinking about adding some tongue twisters in to my voice training routine, since they’ll have different sets of sounds than what I normally use in conversation. Here’s one for each day of the next week.

Monday

To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, In a pestilential prison, with a lifelong lock, Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock, From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block

Tuesday

Six sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks

Wednesday

Fred fed Ted bread and Ted fed Fred bread

Thursday

A blanched black bug bleeds black blood but what color blood does a bland blue bug bleed?

Friday

The great Greek grape growers grow great Greek grapes

Saturday

If you must cross a coarse cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully

Sunday

Luke’s duck likes lakes. Luke Luck licks lakes. Luke’s duck licks lakes. Duck takes licks in lakes Luke Luck likes

If you want something normal sounding to say instead, try the Harvard Sentences. Or read a book to someone!

    Going to the store is stressful

    The amount of people standing exactly where I need to stand or moving so slow genuinely makes me question myself. I feel the need to avoid aisles with people in them. I’m not even sure what kind of shampoo I bought because a worker needed to be exactly where I was standing and that prompted me to just go straight to checkout. I feel like everyone is in my way, or I’m in everyone’s way.

    It’s hard not to freak out over the prospect of nobody being able to relate to things that I post. I go into this meta-analysis of “why do people respond to other people but not me”. It’s a lot
