June 25, 200619 yr I seem to have a mumbling problem and sometime I'm misunderstood so can any one recommend any books on articulation and enunciate (preferably both in one book)? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Watch a lot of British television: Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, Are You Being Served. Emulate the speech paterns of the primary characters at all times. It will cure you right away.
June 25, 200619 yr You might do better to take a public speaking class. Most community colleges in the U.S. offer them occasionally. Live feedback from listeners has got to be more effective than just reading about it in a book.

It's always good to have a group to help you along.

June 25, 200619 yr Speechmaking is not fun. It's nervewracking. Anyway I too had a problem with this. I've been improving things by just speaking really loudly. And singing a lot. Actually I'm not sure what lesson you should take from this... .. ah yes. Don't ask Walsingham sensible questions. You could also try listening to the BBC online. It's free and entertaining.
