Can you whistle tunes such as "Dixie"? If you can you should have little trouble pronouncing words -- especially tricky letter combinations and the endings of words clearly.
IK now one professional speaker who made a regular practice of keeping the muscles in his lips "toned up" by practicing his whistling whenever he was alone and had a chance.
As your lips do play a key role in clear articulation it's not a bad idea to do this while driving by yourself or out for that early morning walk.
If you're really diligent at this little exercise who knows you might be able to whistle a very catchy melody before too long as well as speak even clearer.
While were on this topic there is another way to improve both your breath control as well as hone voice quality. And that is to practice playing -- or blowing?? -- tunes on your harmonica. It can be great fun and a way to add another skill at the same time.
