Quick tips for instantly improving your speech


Are you always "dropping syllables"? Learn to fix the problem and you fix your professional image. According to Dr. June Johnson:

Consistently dropping syllables can seriously affect your professional image. The clarity and effectiveness with which you speak determines how seriously people take you. Each syllable in a word is there to be pronounced.

There are innumerable words in which syllables are frequently dropped. Note these few examples and others throughout this chapter.

reglar for regular

comtable for comfortable

particly for particularly

probly for probably

When George Bush was president, Dan Quayle often referred to him as Present Bush! I think that if Mr. Quayle likes the title of President, he should learn how to pronounce it!

President - - - Present

Consistently dropping syllables can seriously affect your professional image. Listen to others speak. Notice how often people drop consonants and how it weakens their speech.
