public speaking - Articulation Matters — How Good is Yours? Posted By : The Voice Lady

But poor articulation can also occur if your voice trails off at the end of the sentence because you have run out of air. When I saw him for his next class, he spoke clearly with a beautifully deep, rich voice and I could hear and understand every word he said. Should you mumble or slur your words, practice opening your mouth when you speak and concentrate on listening to yourself as you say your words. One of the best exercises to improve lazy or poor diction is to exaggerate your articulation in practice in order to accustom yourself to moving your mouth when you speak.
