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 a retired Home Health Aide ( CERTIFIED) I took care of people with strokes, head injury, dementia and Parkinson's. I did these exercises with my patients I did a lot of encouragement. I very hurt because my son is autistic and never got any exercise for my son and asked told them I was a AIDE, one on one is the best to help people. Thank you for your support.

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.

I've been searching for tongue strengthening exercises as I'm an opera singer, and we need to keep our sometimes lazy tongue from falling back and down into the vocal tract. This seemed to really wake things up!

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 ❤

[flyingpiggy-]

thank you so much for all the fantastic videos you've created—I really enjoy practicing along with you! As a non-native speaker, I'm working on improving my pronunciation and have found your content incredibly helpful. I was wondering if there might be a way for me to get in touch with you for some additional support? Thank you again for all that you share!

Good exercises and accompanying all of us.

Im trying to learn how to do a Spanish R trill. This has helped my oral motor deficit from lack of use. Thank you!

[Esther-vrfc]

Thank you for this video. I'm going to do these exercises with a family friend who is recovering from stroke.

[positivevibes]

[PhuPham-wgeh]

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!

[zhanxz]

I had trouble speaking but this helps me a lot

[Milan_Smidt]

Daring me to do another set after the first round is one thing. But to keep daring me after the second, third and fourth is just getting cruel at this point. But i'm no quitter.

Where can I find a copy of the song used in the background of the video?

[merudand-therapeuticyogace]

Thanks a lot mam, please make more such videos 😊🙏

[DavidH]

That is really helpful. I find when I do the tongue narrowing in the third exercise that my tongue is curled upwards in a U shape, whereas yours appears flatter and triangular. Do I just need more practice with a mirror?
