How to Improve a Poor Speaking Voice

Many voice faults may be corrected by reading aloud. Read a variety of material; try everything from casual quotations to vigorous argument, but put feeling into your “out loud” reading. You can reflect feeling with your voice. Experiment with words that convey hatred and compare the sounds with words that reflect compassion; then note the difference. When your mind tunes in on the mood you want to convey, your voice will reflect what you have in mind and your audience “zeroes” in.

Reading aloud gives proper value to each word. Opening your mouth wide raises the resonance of your voice. Your words acquire a pear-shaped tone if you will practice rounding out your syllables. This is popularly known as the “How now brown cow” cure for slurred syllables and mumbled words. Just be careful that the practice doesn’t result in an affected sound that ends up worse than the original problem. By understanding your own weaknesses and working to correct them, you will minimize and eventually eliminate any unpleasant voice habits and replace them with good “listening” tones.

A Resume on How to Say It

When you begin, bear in mind that there is a normal tendency for a beginner to rush through a speech, particularly if he is reading it. Another reading risk is the monotone, so vary the tone of your voice. Remember your pre-speech lessons for good delivery. Sum them up mentally and bear in mind that speaking is only amplified conversation. Then speak naturally, stay serene, concentrate on what you are saying, and “feel” the thought you seek to sell all the while you are talking about it.
