I was thinking about adding some tongue twisters in to my voice training routine, since they'll have different sets of sounds than what I normally use in conversation. Here's one for each day of the next week.

MondayTo sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, In a pestilential prison, with a lifelong lock, Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock, From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block

TuesdaySix sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks

WednesdayFred fed Ted bread and Ted fed Fred bread

ThursdayA blanched black bug bleeds black blood but what color blood does a bland blue bug bleed?

FridayThe great Greek grape growers grow great Greek grapes

SaturdayIf you must cross a coarse cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully

SundayLuke's duck likes lakes. Luke Luck licks lakes. Luke's duck licks lakes. Duck takes licks in lakes Luke Luck likes

If you want something normal sounding to say instead, try the Harvard Sentences. Or read a book to someone!
