    Social anxiety leads me to isolate my self from society 3 years ago so I lost my speaking skills and I can feel the effects of not using my voice for a long time. Now thank God i overcome my fears and I’m here doing your exercises before getting a job and start talking to people again. Thank you! 🙏😉

    I'm so grateful to have found your page. Had a stroke in December 24 and my peach was fine but has gotten progressively worse since got home. Thank you so much for your time and efforts ❤

    I wish I found your channel 2 years ago. I'm not going to share my long story here, but my speech became unclear 2 years ago. My tongue became super weak, yet also super tense. I have excess saliva, and dry lips. I have seen a speech therapist for this, but she didn't believe in stretching & doing exercises to help your tongue. I believe the majority of my speech issue relates back to my tongue. I've had such trouble finding actual help.. And even though it's been 2 years, I'm really hoping these exercises make a difference in my speech.

    Thank you so much for this video! Do you think you can do a video for lip incompetence exercise? That would mean so much to me!
  • @rotich6440
    Thanks for your presentation. What should be if the tongue can be raised even to touch the palate..after a stroke
  • @nigel1425
    would like a video on the uvula and the use of it when speaking
  • @kessup
    thank you,i have hypoglossal nerve damage from radiation and chemo,i can barely move my inflamed tongue,any suggestions?
  • Ma'am I've had a tracheostomy and my speech isn't clear.! Is there any way I could improve my speech?
  • @pankodra10
    These exercises are only for people struggling with these health problems, does it make sense to do them when you just want to improve your diction?
  • @mxt4907
    I have my tongue split and it’s hard to figure out if I’m doing the wide and short thing correctly and not just sticking out my tongue and relaxing it
  • I notice with tongue out and down that if I don't make a point of showing my upper teeth like you do, the whole mouth gets depressed lol.
  • @MagashiDestiny
    My client's tongue is too short that is the major challenge am confused
