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!

    Sorry for the late reply. Today was super busy. Thank you for all the information. I definitely intend on getting a passport while I can still boymode and haven’t changed any docs.

    SAIT and NAIT in Alberta, BCIT

    Maybe I’m looking at the wrong thing, I don’t know, but it looks really expensive. I guess I don’t know what I expected. My little heart just wants a job that doesn’t suck the soul out of my body and lets me rent my own place. Maybe some parts of healthcare could do that.

    That’s really nice to know I could take a test and get my American license. And that lab tech is critical enough I could probably get a work permit in Canada. The way things are going I’d rather stay there if I was at all able to.

      Depending on the school even international tuition in Canada can be cheaper than a school in the US with domestic tuition. Except for like in state community college or the in state public university. It helps that up here its a 2 year program and apparently in the US its often a full 4 year degree.

      It is expensive still, youd obviously need loans and/or serious scholarships/grants. You can get loans to study aabroad. That tuition is just school costs, it doesnt cover housing food etc. But you could get in dorms, meet some people, be yourself.

        Oh really? I guess school is just expensive idk. That’s good to know if I was going to do school here then. May as well be in Canada and experience that. Doing something that’s only 2 years feels a lot more achievable to me. And yea I guess I could probably get loans to go internationally. I hadn’t thought about that being possible I guess.

        meet some people, be yourself

        god kitty-cri-screm definitely crying tonight… Thank you again terminal.
