: Hello. I work with a person who does freelance voicing and is very good. However, she's always had a slight problem with certain letters. It's not a speech impedement thing (I don't think)..though it's rather baffling. She CAN pronounce the following letters, though when they are put in conjunction with other letters, she has difficulty. Example, she can say "little, lively, lizards" no problem, though when she goes for "quality" it comes out "qua-wity" ? The letters most noticable are R's, L's, & W's.
: Does anybody have any tips or techniques that would help ? Possibly lazy mouth here, so there must be some excercises she could do. Thanks muchly for reading this. Feel free to e-mail direct.
This is from my old VO workshop files...from a 6-week VO workshop I used to teach a few years ago.
