all humans (free of age) ime have strong desire to match voice and movements. Having said this I make my student speak and cast and then he/she right from the start matches both.
Try this yourself:
Speak "whuuuuuUUMP" (UUMP staying for a SUDDEN, sharp and loud pronouncing, while the beginning whuuuuu you pronounce smooth) and at the same time you try to keep acceleration smooth. Not easy to get this working!
Instead speaking "whuuuuuump" (speak smooth without any sudden change in pronouncing) and casting smooth either works pretty well.
I use this tool of matching the right words being pronounced in a way matching the movement I am looking for a lot and it is among my best teaching tools in reagrd of fast and proper results as well as supporting huge steps in the progress for my students.
