The tongue is actually a muscle and we tend to be habitual in the way we talk and use our voice with was Alexander’s great discovery. It can be fun to play with tongue twisters to exercise the tongue and mouth. Here are some to use:

That bloke’s back bike brake-block broke
Girl gargoyle, guy gargoyle
A proper cup of coffee from a proper copper coffee pot
She stood on the balcony inexplicably mimicking him hiccupping, and amicably welcoming him home
A tutor who tooted the flute tried to tutor two tooters to toot. Said the two to the tutor: “Is it harder to toot or to tutor two tooters to toot?”
Lesser leather never weathered wetter weather better
Give Mr. Snipe’s wife’s knife a swipe
Sixish. Sixish. Sixish
A fat thrush flies through thick fog – particularly hard for London accents!
She was a thistle sifter and sifted thistles through a thistle sieve

Many people bend their heads down to look at their mobiles. I fear there may be a condition called “mobile phone neck” soon as our heads are very heavy – about the weight of 5 bags of sugar. Instead, we can bring the phone up to our eyes to save strain on the neck and spine.
