Your Personal Speech Articulation Tool
For years, speech therapists, or experts in that field of speech pathology, have been using wine corks to help their students and/or clients help refine their speech. More so, the way they pronounce words, with the main goal being clearer and concise.
Unfortunately, what we have also found is that use of the wine cork, or things of that nature can also cause long-term effects on the jaw – specifically causing tension. And, truth be told – a lot of the difficulty that comes with poor pronunciation is the tension in the jaw and mouth.
Now, that could be attributed to a variety of things, even nervousness, but the key was finding a solution to helping instead of making things worse.
The Solution Is the Speech Ring
There are several videos available on the website that help demonstrate just how easy the Speech Ring is to use, and in fact, its effectiveness. There are instructions that come with each ring, including warm-ups exercises and tongue twisters.
What this means for you, is the ability to start implementing the Speech Ring right away! Just make sure that after every use the Speech Ring is washed with soap in warm water to prevent any bacteria build up.
The Speech Ring websites goes as far as calling it ‘your new best friend’, and if you are someone who has struggled with certain verbiage because of an accent, or mild speech impediments – it may very well earn that title for you too.
Is the Speech Ring Safe?
Yes! This oral device is BPA free and is described as ‘safe and shapely’. It is not made with plastic and is completely free of toxins. The material that the Speech Ring is made of, is the same material that is used to make mouth guards for nighttime use.
What this means is that the material will start to shape to your mouth with the heat caused by your body. This will provide additional comfort with every use.
Who is Lauren Lovett?
Lauren is the inventor of the Speech Ring, but more than that, she has been teaching and privately coaching professionals, including actors for more than fifteen (15) years. She has been able to help them connect with their breath and in turn their voice which that combination helps improve speech articulation and pronunciation.
More importantly however, she has been able to help people achieve confidence when they speak and in turn more powerful. And, admittedly she used the cork method initially, until she was fortunate to team up with someone she knew who made night guards. Together this concept was birthed and now, they are sharing it with the world!
Does the Speech Ring Work for Speech Impediments?
Mild ones, yes. However, if there is concern with a speech impediment you are encouraged to consult with a speech pathologist or therapist before using the Speech Ring.
The intent of this device is to help, but not to change the course of any treatment you may already be receiving or could receive. Lauren describes the Speech Ring as a tool, not as a means to replace a professional.
What are Others Saying About the Speech Ring?
Lauren Lovett has appeared on a variety of news outlets and television appearances on the Steve Harvey show on KABC TV.
There are also a variety of testimonials available online for you to review should you choose on some first-hand experiences.
How to Order
The Speech Ring is available for purchase on the website for $65.00 and shipping is based on where you are located. There are presently more than thirty (30) in stock, however this may also indicate that they could be backordered.
Directions for Using Speech Ring
As mentioned above, there are a couple different videos available on the website that demonstrate how the Speech Ring should be used as well as written instructions. The Speech Ring is designed for adults only and should be kept away from children.
You should not use the Speech Ring if you are intoxicated, or drowsy. And, I imagine they felt it necessary to also include that this device is not meant for any other body parts!
