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!

    I’m not the one you’re replying to but I’m saving this because I’m right on the border of Canada and really dislike the US (although Canada is no haven either, it feels less… hectic) and I’ve also wanted to work in healthcare for a while.

    Lab tech sounds like a great job for me, but does I require the rigorous med school training? I don’t think I can do 4 (?)years med school + residency + deal with the patients as well as blood and injuries (samples are fine) and all the other stuff

      Med tech school is typically 2 years, not a full bachelors. These are the people that do like labs and bloodwork and stool sample and so on. Sometimes its 2.5 years. Usually half a year to a full year will be in clinicals (youd be a student but also doing the job more or less instead of class).
