Doctor reveals the 1-minute daily hack that can radically improve public speaking skills Ever been told that you mumble? Or that your way of speaking is quiet or lacking confidence? It could be affecting you in a range of situations, from asking someone out to giving a presentation at work or interviewing for a job. Well, a behavior researcher has a solution for you: put a pen in your mouth. Behavior expert and speaker _Dr. Shadé Zahrai_ shared a technique in a social media video that could help people who mumble, rush through speeches, or generally struggle to enunciate when speaking aloud. She recommends taking a clean pen and placing it horizontally in your mouth, like a horse biting a bridle. Then take out a book and read it aloud to yourself for one minute, even overpronouncing some words if you need to. After a minute has passed, take the pen out of your mouth and continue reading the rest of the page. Doing this "Pen Drill" once a day should help you speak more clearly and effectively overall. > @shadezahrai > > I promise you - so this for 60 seconds and you’ll enunciate better. This may sound silly, but there's solid reasoning behind it. Because you're trying to hear yourself clearly while speaking with a pen in your mouth, you naturally slow down as your mouth opens wider than usual. This makes your speech and enunciation clearer by forcing you to slow down and articulate each word. A side benefit is that speaking slowly and enunciating clearly makes you appear more calm, confident, and authoritative. > @joseczuniga > > Try this pen trick to enunciate better and get a deeper more confident voice #josezuniga There are additional benefits beyond clearer speech. Content creator _Jose Zuniga_ claims the technique can help men deepen their voices. Zuniga says that when men speak from their chest rather than their throat during the "Pen Drill," the wider mouth opening allows them to speak at a lower pitch than usual. Singers and vocal coaches also recommend putting a pen in your mouth in order to reduce vocal strain. > @sophiesaidcoaching > > A tip guarenteed to help with vocal strain!! Just grab a pen or a chopstick #vocalcoach #singing #singer Speaking clearly is incredibly beneficial, not only because it helps you be understood and get what you want, but also because it makes you appear more _eloquent_ and intelligent. Speaking in a clear, calm way makes you sound confident, which helps people believe your words and arguments more than if they were delivered meekly, filled with "ums" and "uhs." Combined with strong body language, it can mean the difference between being believable and being believed. "Clear speech signals calm authority, and calm authority is magnetic," explains Zahrai in her video. "You don't sound rushed, you don't sound unsure, you sound like someone who expects to be listened to." > @gentlemens_collective > > To be become a better speaker FAST… slow down. If you want to improve your speech, whether to reduce mumbling, slow a rushed, worried pace, or sound more confident, put a pen in your mouth and swallow your pride (but not the pen!). With time and practice, it could change your speech patterns into ones people clearly understand and feel compelled to listen to.

(A teal pen lies across the top of an open journal page upon which, in teal ink, is written:) "Foghorn Lefgorn's Acres of Acorns" was one of my favorite warm-ups in my radio days. Maybe, on a particularly hot day, "the Fresno snow says so." But it'd havta be damn near a hunnert.

Wonder if after all this mask-wearing, people will enunciate better.
