Learn How To Create a More Confident Voice

Many people struggle with using their voice confidently, especially in


social and business settings. Whether it's trembling, a lack of
assertiveness, or feeling like no one listens, mastering your voice is key
to building confidence. In this video, we’ll explore how you can regain
control over your voice and speak with power and confidence.

Set the Right Intention


Avoid Negative Assumptions: Often, people assume their voice
isn't powerful enough or that others won’t listen. This negative
mindset becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, making you hide and
speak timidly.
Visualize Confidence: Before speaking, visualize yourself
speaking with confidence, power, and charisma. This simple mental
shift can make a significant difference in how you come across.
Practice Out Loud: Say a few lines like, “Hi, my name is [Your
Name], nice to meet you,” both with and without confidence, and
notice the difference.

Speak from Your Diaphragm


Avoid Speaking from the Throat: Speaking from the throat leads
to a weak, insecure voice. When you speak only from your throat, it
sounds like you're asking for permission to talk.
Engage Your Diaphragm: Ground your voice in your diaphragm,
which gives it resonance and depth. This adds authority to your
speech and helps maintain control over your voice.

Don’t Forget to Breathe


Stress and Breathlessness: In high-pressure situations, people
often forget to breathe. They rush through sentences without taking
deep breaths, causing their voice to tremble and lose power.

Take Deep Breaths: Before you speak, ensure that you have
enough air in your lungs. Pausing to breathe is natural and won’t be
as noticeable as you think. Try introducing yourself without air and
then with a deep breath to feel the difference.

Warm Up Your Voice


Read Aloud: Read your favorite book out loud to improve your flow
and pronunciation. Reading different words and sentences can
help you get comfortable speaking confidently.
Use Tongue Twisters: Practice tongue twisters like "She sells
seashells on the seashore" to warm up your vocal cords. They
challenge you to articulate and improve vocal agility.
Singing and Sounds: Even if you're not a singer, singing or making
random sounds (like “Ooo” or “Ahh”) helps loosen up your vocal
cords and expands your vocal range.
Beatboxing: Though optional, beatboxing is another fun way to
warm up your voice. It forces you to use different parts of your
vocal range and control your breathing.

Practice and Make It a Habit


Regular Practice: Warming up your voice, speaking from the
diaphragm, and breathing consciously should become a habit. The
more you practice these techniques, the more naturally they will
come in high-pressure situations.
Use Before Important Events: Whether it’s a social gathering or a
business meeting, warming up your voice beforehand will make you
feel more comfortable and confident.

Taking control of your voice requires practice, patience, and a few
powerful techniques. By setting the right intention, speaking from your

rather than a source of anxiety.
