  • OKay. Now we're going to talk about a different series of words that you want to repeat over

  • and over between four to ten, or perhaps a little bit more times. What I'm doing is I'm

  • giving you different combinations of vowels and consonants that actually work different

  • parts of your mouth. They work different articulators. So, as long as you have some reasonable combination

  • of words similar to the ones I'm giving you, you'll be fine. Now these are almost like

  • tongue twister combinations. Maybe you don't like tongue twisters; maybe you don't want

  • to go into full blown lengthy tongue twisters. These sets of words are where you're going

  • to use a part of your mouth and you're going to immediately have to come back and use that

  • exact same part of your mouth. Like in "Toy boat." You want to repeat, toy boat, toy boat,

  • toy boat, toy boat. What's happening is the placement of your mouth is having to move

  • very rapidly to go back to a certain area, back to a certain area. So, you want to take

  • toy boat and repeat it as fast as you can, at least eight or ten times. And then, the

  • same thing happens with "Unique New York". Unique New York, unique New York. You're working

  • certain articulators, and again, with both of the words, and be careful with unique New

  • York, that you hit those consonant sounds. It would be very easy to go "uni New York,

  • uni New York". Well, if you skip over those consonants, it's going to make it where you

  • can't say the words. So we're looking for unique New York. Combinations like this where

  • we're jumping right back to the same sound.

OKay. Now we're going to talk about a different series of words that you want to repeat over
