    What? Can you repeat that?
    It always surprises me when my partner says that to me.
    In my mind, and to my ear, I spoke clearly… but…. (mumble) it obviously didn’t come out that way because my partner often asks me to repeat myself.
    Oh no. It’s happening to me. The lazy mouth.
    You’re about to learn a quick exercise, that you can do almost anywhere, at anytime - it’s a technique that many professional broadcasters use before they go on air. It’s fun & silly, so make sure to watch this video to the end, so you can benefit from it.
    So last week I MCed a non-profit gala called Untapped. They find employment for diverse groups such as people with disabilities, First Nations, and new immigrants. I was also interviewing the CEO of VanCity on stage, Tamara Vrooman so I wanted to do a good job.
    Now I used to MC events all the time, but I’m out of practice. My mouth is out of shape! And I’m getting lazy with how I enunciate. This is bad news brown.
    When you communicate, the objective is to be understood. And when you boil it down to the basics, it’s how you move your mouth.
    Think of your mouth like an instrument. It needs tuning. It needs conditioning. It needs practice.
    So how can you fine tune your mouth like an instrument, before you give a speech, or record a video?
    Step one: get a pen.
    Step two: put it in your mouth
    Step three: say the alphabet
    Try it with me!
    See how that feels?
    It stretches your mouth. Your mouth works harder.
    And that’s what you want.
    People have one chance to hear what you have to say.
    So make your mouth work harder, over-enunciate your words, and keep your mouth in tip top shape.
    Do you understand?
    With a lazy mouth, you risk being misunderstood… or even worse, not heard at all.
    Try the pen exercise and go to www.jaenybaik.com/blog to tell me how it worked for you!
    Don’t get left behind, you can shine online.

      onee tbh I'm shy but when i think about the situation or whatever I'm talking about then i completely forget who I'm talking to, weather he is a stranger or not. I dropped out of school so i got shy and anxiety becuz i dont hangout or have friends irl so now i have more confidence when im talking to strangers or while gaming.. just think about wat ur talking about and forget who ur talking to!

    The beginning of the video was so true for what I've experienced. I'd speak to people who work in stores or restaurants or whatever and they would say "I'm sorry, could you speak up?" or "what?!" I cant hear you and I would instantly be embarrassed and mad because of what they did but people doing that should make you want to be better instead of offended and hurt by it

    I noticed an immediate change in my pronunciations using this technique. It helps to try and read an article in a newspaper or magazine with the pen in your mouth and then re-reading it again without it to really work. It also help to record yourself speaking before and after using the technique to really see the improvements.

    I need this so I can do young twister type stuff faster. There's this incredible song called "Getting Married Today", and it is SOOO fast. This will hopefully be able to help with that.
