Hadar Shemesh explains that pronunciation practice narrows the gap between the English a learner hears in their head and the English they actually speak. She emphasizes recording and listening back to one’s voice to normalize it, increase self-acceptance (even begin to like one’s voice), and thereby build confidence for public speaking and expressing one’s voice.

Pronunciation work can help you with minimizing that gap between the English that you hear in your head and the English that comes out of your mouth. Also, it will confront you with your voice, because when you practice pronunciation, you record yourself and you listen back to it, and you normalize listening to your voice, and you'll even start liking your voice. And that is going to help you become more confident with expressing your voice in public.
