    A little vocalization exercise for commercial producers...

    The Warm-up:   "Which wristwatches are Swiss wristwatches?"

    The Pitch:      "I slit a sheet. A sheet I slit.  Upon a slitted sheet I sit."

     

    What are your favorite tongue-twisters?

    One of my all-time favorites is the most simple, yet hardest tongue-twister I know.
    It's just two words: "Toy Boat"

    Saying "toy boat" once or twice is no problem, but try saying it quickly 5-10 times. You're guaranteed to screw it up after just a few.

    You know, I had to try this one before I was convinced . . . you are absolutely right about that being a tongue-twister on take #4 or 5!  :-)

    Not necessarily a tongue twister, but a good vocal exercise before voicing a project.  "Lips and Teeth and Tip of the tongue.  Tip of the tongue and teeth and lips"

    I've known about this since I was just a little kid, and no matter how much I've practiced it since then, I STILL can't keep the words right after 6 or 7! haha
