Hey guys,

I'm surprised I didn't see a thread about this in this section, not unless it's hidden in a differently named thread.
I'm currently in a public speaking class, and probably one of the most helpful tips as far as presenting these speeches fluently goes is to practice saying tongue twisters. I feel like this could definitely be applied as a voice acting exercise.

Though i'm a new voice actor just now learning, I notice that with new voices I sometimes have trouble keeping my lines fluent, and I imagine if you were to say tongue twisters in a new voice you're trying to practice it could have the potential to help improve your technique tenfold.

The website my teacher gave me that's full of tongue twisters is located here:

If you have any twisters not shared in this site, be sure to post them. The more there are means there's more material to practice with.

Cheers!

I love tongue twisters, they have helped a lot with my speaking voice as well as my voice acting.

Here's a reeeeeally long list of them:

Oh cool, thanks for sharing those sites. ^__^

A couple of short but confounding twisters I've found are: six discs, Irish wristwatch.
