Q: Is there a name for, when you begin to speak faster near the end of your sentences…almost to the point of being difficult to understand? Or just speaking way too fast in general? Also, is there a way to fix it?
A: Great question. When speakers began to increase their rate of speech at the end of a sentence, it’s normally done to execute the message before the speaker runs out of air. When I observe this in a client they are normally having trouble with breath support. A strong breath support system allots you ample amount of air to use when speaking in sentences. Try this quick fix: When speaking, decrease the rate of your speech when you feel your air supply is depleting. Take a breath and resume the conversation. Remember, clarity is key. You want the listener to understand you. Also, a voice evaluation may be needed to address breathing and other voice concerns.
