Serbo-Croat term or phrase: govorna bravura
...slusam je pjevati glasom koji jos nije svladao govornu bravuru, a vec interpretira Ljubavnu pricu na engleskom...

bravura = a musical passage requiring exceptional agility and technical skill in execution

The expression used, govorna bravura, therefore seems to be a figure of speech rather than a technical term. Any ideas how to put it in English? Grateful for any and all suggestions. Thanks.

Explanation:
meni se cini da je to najobicniji 'izgovor'

nesto u stilu:
...while I'm listening to her singing Love Story in English, I can't ignore the thought that she still has to work hard on her pronunciation (skills)....

tako nesto, sa ili bez skills
