According to Sam A. Mowry, who is a more experienced voice actor than me, mouth sounds usually come from a dry mouth. He said they come for one of two reasons. Either your mouth is dry so your tongue sticks (a little) to the inside made makes a wet sound when it pulls away. Or, your saliva glands over-react and produce a lot of extra saliva to compensate. Either way, the solution is apparently to drink more water. I had to research this a little. According to Sam A.

I just 'discovered you' and this is very useful advice. I was looking for help with wet mouth sounds. How do I eliminate it for recording readings? Should i be asking a speech therapist? Or just sucking on a lemon? Joan thank you. I just ‘discovered you’ and this is very useful advice. I was looking for help with wet mouth sounds. How do I eliminate it for recording readings?
