    You have an excellent speaking voice. A couple words should be practiced. One is "rich". Another is "old". A third could be "poor" which sounded good the first time but not so good the second time it was mentioned.

    Two words to practice are "rich", and "old". You need to make a short "i" sound in "rich" and a long "o" sound in "old". Please consider my recording. A third word to practice if you wish, is "poor" which normally rhymes with "horse". Although this word can also be pronounced as you have done it to rhyme with "pure".
