Your Best Voice

 Fellow speaker,

Professional speaker Vocal Jim suggests you can build your speaking voice by:

• Doing the beginning of a yawn before speaking
• Making the back of your neck tall
• Taking a yawning breath, holding it, and looking for tension in the entire body
• Keeping your mouth wide open when speaking
• Knowing the “mm” in “mmhmm” is your best bottom range
• Knowing the “hmm” in “mmhmm” is your best top range
• Drinking lots of water a couple hours before your speech

Vocally,

Tim Wilson

Get Your Audience Into the Feeling

 Fellow speaker,

World Champion Speaker Craig Valentine suggests you can get your audience into your scene through:

1. Souvenir - take something out of your speech and apply it to your audience
2. Question and confession - get audience to confess to some flaw by using “ever” in your question
3. Predicting - set up a situation and get the audience to predict what will happen next

Clearly,

Clearing Things Up

Fellow speaker,

Professional Speech Coach Tim Pollard suggests you can speak more clearly if you focus on forming your words based on the actions of your lips, teeth, and tongue at the front of your mouth.
