How to Improve Your Voice


One of the most important components of public speaking is the sound of your voice. It
influences the impact of your message, and might even make or break the success of your
speech. Fortunately, for many people, good voice quality can be learned.

Steps

1.
1

Breathe from your diaphragm. Practice long and controlled exhales. When you speak, use
breath to punctuate your point. For example, take a breath at the end of each phrase whether
you need to or not. Use that opportunity to pause and let the listeners absorb what you say

Use pitch. Lower pitches generally are more soothing to hear. However, modulating your pitch for
emphasis will keep your listeners engaged. Develop your pitch by practicing humming.

Moderate your volume. Find out if you speak too loudly or too softly. When you begin speaking, ask
your audience how your volume is (each situation is different). Try to stay at the appropriate volume
throughout your speech.

Moderate your pace. This one is also closely related to breath. If you speak too quickly, people can’t
keep up. If you speak too slowly, people will lose interest. Record your speech to determine if you need
to change your pace. Get feedback from others.

Articulate. Try exaggerating your lip movement to reduce mumbling. Practice articulating tongue
twisters and extending and exaggerating vowel sounds. Become an expert at articulating tongue twisters
as quickly and crisply as possible. Focus on the ones you find difficult.

Practice your speech in advance and determine where you want to pause for a breath. For more
emphasis, pause for more than one breath. Mark your breathing points in your notes.

Loosen up before you begin. Look side to side. Roll your head in half-circles and roll your shoulders
back. Shift your rib cage from side to side. Yawn. Stretch. Touch your toes while completely relaxing your
upper body, then slowly stand up, one vertebra at a time, raising your head last. Repeat as needed.

Stand up straight and tall. This allows full lung capacity and airflow.

Record your voice repeatedly using different ways of speaking. Determine which one is most pleasing.

10

Practice breath control. Take a deep breath, and while you exhale, count to 10 (or recite the months or
days of the week). Try gradually increasing your volume as you count, using your abdominal muscles—
not your throat—for volume. Don’t let your larynx tense up.

Tips

 While practicing try to make your voice sweeter, more pleasant and much more pleasing.
 Sing. You may find it funny but it really helps.
 While speaking sweetly, make your talk assertive , never passive.

Warnings

 Don't shout out loud or you will break your voice.


 Never make your voice sound hoarse.
