I was thinking about adding some tongue twisters in to my voice training routine, since they’ll have different sets of sounds than what I normally use in conversation. Here’s one for each day of the next week.

Monday

To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, In a pestilential prison, with a lifelong lock, Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock, From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block

Tuesday

Six sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks

Wednesday

Fred fed Ted bread and Ted fed Fred bread

Thursday

A blanched black bug bleeds black blood but what color blood does a bland blue bug bleed?

Friday

The great Greek grape growers grow great Greek grapes

Saturday

If you must cross a coarse cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully

Sunday

Luke’s duck likes lakes. Luke Luck licks lakes. Luke’s duck licks lakes. Duck takes licks in lakes Luke Luck likes

If you want something normal sounding to say instead, try the Harvard Sentences. Or read a book to someone!

    Another emergency at my work today. Been happening a lot. Idk if it’s because of all my other stress on top but I haven’t been happy with my performance. Also person I’m out to volunteered me to go search the men’s locker room for shoes (I always use the single stall). That’s nice. I love being male. Now I’m in the bathroom crying. Not even the locker room thing just fuck my life in general. Cw.

      Wanting to reach out but also not wanting to and being a bother always has me super torn. Lately I haven’t been. I want to. I want to tell people and have that support. But I also don’t. Don’t want to be a burden. Especially since I can’t guarantee I’ll feel better afterwards. I hate this. I hate being alone and feeling terrible and I also hate feeling like a burden. I hate reaching out and being disappointed and guilty if I don’t improve. And I don’t think I will improve. god I hate this.
