Lip Movements

Post Reply New Topic

Do you guys move your lips enough when you talk? Lately, I've discovered the reason why I'm so quiet when I talk and why I mumble. I barely move my lips when I talk and don't enunciate. Does anyone else have this problem? Could it be my lack of ability to imitate things?

I used to be very similar...singing and doing death metal growls though encouraged me to use more mouth movement and it just kinda stayed that way permanently.

I've always had that problem, most of the time I just use a voice recognition program to work on it (it doesn't help much though in my case because the nerves in my bottom lip never formed properly, so I can't move it normally).

Teachers would always tell me that I am not at school to study ventriloquism, so I need to move my mouth when talking.

Hmm, I think I have this problem too. I talk fine when I'm not thinking about my lips moving, but as soon as I start thinking about it, I start going into an unconfident mumble.

Also I have a fear of people smelling my breath, and when I think about that too much, I worry about moving my lips too much in case they might smell it - although I know I'm not the type of person to have a strong breath (my mum would tell me if she smelt it because she's the sort to tell anyone because she gets easily sensitive to smells like that, well she wouldn't tell friends but she would tell close relatives). Plus I don't smoke, I clean my teeth regularly, and I have generally healthy teeth. But knowing all that still doesn't make me feel any less afraid of the possibility of someone smelling my breath.
