How to say it
Plosives (t, d, k, g) need a crisp release. Over-articulate at first — you can always relax later.
The five-times-fast test
A tongue twister isn't beaten until you can say it five times in a row without slowing down. Take a breath, start slow, and speed up on each pass. Use the mic practice mode to hear where you slur.
