If you want a near symmetric smile and clear diction, do the exercises prescribed below regularly. They were compiled from suggestions of professionals working in various aspects of a related industry, such as radio disc jockeys, speech therapists, & voice coaches. We can all improve in the area of intonation, voice, & mouth/lip control. See video for demonstrations.
PLACING EMPHASIS
Place emphasis on the bolded word and see how the meaning of the same sentence changes. This shows you that you should be careful with how you say what you’re saying.

PACE
Time yourself speaking the paragraph below. Finish the whole thing in 30, 60 ,then 90 seconds. Find a comfortable pace to speak in and take care to announce all the syllables clearly! The bolded word is the midpoint, where you should be half way through at each 15, 30, and 45 second point, respectively.
Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard, spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices; a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters and streams from Lebanon. Awake, O north wind; and come thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof my flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
In case you’re wondering, the above paragraph is from the book called the Song of Solomon 🙂
