The 7 keys you need to get THE BEST SOUNDING VOICE

If you are like most people - you were never taught HOW TO SPEAK.

Our school system teaches us WHAT to say. For effective communication this is just not enough. You need something more.

Maybe you had a situation in your life where a confident person outcompeted you for a job, a sale or simply gained popularity just by sounding confident - many times without actually knowing anything.

It doesn’t matter if you know more, have a higher competency or potential if you don’t SOUND confident and interesting.

The 7 keys to effective communication

For many years I studied communication and performed on stage.

I travelled the world to learn from the top experts.

I discovered 7 key voice qualities that (if practiced) - instantly makes you sound better.

To practice them you can join our free online voice training event:

So what are the 7 key voice qualities? Let’s dig in.

Speed

This is such a simple one but painfully neglected.

Perhaps you have listened to someone that is stuck in either speaking too slow or too fast - they are both bad!
What is interesting is the right amount of VARIATION, in the appropriate places.

Volume

Again it seems basic.

You might be thinking you already know this. But how many people are actually using variations in volume effectively when they are speaking?

Practically no one.

A sudden blast of high volume can wake up a sleeping audience and pull attention.

While a shift to a whisper can have the audience leaning in, desperate to hear more.

Rhythm

In music staccato is used to describe a sound that is sharp and separate from other sounds while legato is more of a smooth flow.

Staccato can be used to sound like a coach or a drill sergeant in bootcamp. It effectively motivates people in to taking quick action if used properly and can create a sense of urgency.

Pitch

Speaking with a high pitch can make you sound weak and like you lack conviction - or it could even make you appear childish.

Speaking at a constant pitch will make you sound extremely boring! So don’t do it 🙂 

Articulation

Being very exact in your pronunciation can make you sound articulate and intelligent - but too much can be perceived as try hard.

A less controlled articulation can sound fun, carefree, or dumb, drunk and drugged! So be careful.

Tone color

The tone color is controlled by where the voice is projected. Some common examples are a nasal sounding voice (from the nose) or a raspy one (from the back of the throat).

This can also be very subtle so your voice could have a nasal quality without you necessarily noticing - and it can make you sound less confident!

My singing coach is constantly making me aware of the subtle nasal sounds that I make.

Tone color is great in acting for making characters - cartoons are extreme examples of using this type of voice quality.

Emotional tone

This is perhaps the most important one. When people listen to you, they want you to take them on an emotional roller coaster ride and to experience a wide range of emotions.

Actors know that by using emotions they can play the audience like a finely tuned violin.

But how is this done exactly?

The face is the seat of emotional expression and by showing an emotion with your face -which is a completely learnable skill you also control the emotional tone in your voice.

The face is the remote control for your voice - it is that important.

But many of my students completely lack any facial expression and they are often not aware of how much this is effecting them.

How to dominate life

The problems in our life often have simple solutions. The basics, when trained and applied properly will always give you the best results!

By consistently practicing these basics I have trained both myself and others to:

• Sound more INTERESTING and CONFIDENT

• Have a much greater range of expression

• Be more in touch with emotions by expressing them properly

• Unleash power and rise up to be leaders

• Be more creative by unblocking expression

Changing your voice not only changes your sound - but it makes you grow to be a different person. It actually changes how you think and who you are at the core.
