I dont believe its a speech disability, rather its a bad habit I’ve never corrected.

Its more pronounced when I say something I’m unsure of.

  2. I dont necessarily know why you’re mumbling, theres a number of reasons why you wouldn’t but I would suggest:

    Mechanically, try talking slower and more deliberately. Focus on making each word understood and pronounced. Eventually you’ll be used to speaking more loudly and with that you’ll be able to do that at a more regular cadence.

    Along with this, let your sentences and words form in your head before you say them. if you’re answering a question, or presenting an opinion, take a breath and a beat before talking. Let your mind know what you want to say before saying it.

    In your mind, I want you to realise that people are interested in what you have to say. Despite being socially anxious, I’ve always been good at presenting and interviewing etc. because I’ve always been able to realise that I’m there for a reason; I don’t have to hide what i’m saying, because the people there trust that I know what I’m talking about.

  3. I think it’s more than that, mumbling is also a low-self esteem indicator! Try to isolate the root cause and see what’s causing you to mumble.

  4. Are you aware when you do it or is it all the time? If I don’t care for anyone to hear me/ I’m talking to myself I mumble but I can easily speak loudly when I care to

  5. I think u/sankscan has a point. You suggest that this is more pronounced when you are unsure of what you are saying. I going to suggest that you don’t believe that what you have to say has value. See if that resonates if so that’s where you should focus your efforts.

  8. Leave yourself a voicemail. Don’t write out what you would say just free style about what happend throughout the day. You will hear what everyone you talk to hears and from there pinpoint the problem and correct it.

  10. Just say “idk” when you’re unsure and dont try to come up with some bs to hide it
