Once you know how to engage your audience, your voice is suddenly very important. When you want your audience to hear you. When you want them to listen to you. When you want them to understand you…the power and importance of your voice is obvious.
It’s your main asset. And it has to be used well.
Take some time, when you rehearse, to practise tone and pitch changes. Push up the volume at times. And at other times lower your volume.
A modular changing voice pattern will prove more attractive to your audience than a monotonous flow.
Introduce a level of changeability into your voice and you can expect to become a better speaker. But there’s a word of warning.
Don’t push your voice. If you become hoarse or there’s a tightening in the throat, it’s likely that you are going beyond your natural range. Tread carefully. Making some adjustments will take time. Aim for small changes at first in your speaking voice. Next, the pause.
