Speech coach Sandra Zimmer suggests following these steps to create a rich, resonant voice:
- Drop your jaw and stretch your face muscles forward creating a "fish face"
- Make long "HO" sounds (rhymes with "dough")
- Feel the vibrations buzzing on the roof of your mouth and filling the front of your facial bones
- Get used to the feeling of your mouth and face filled with vibration
- Speak a sentence that has lots of long “O” sounds (e.g., “Those old boats don’t float.” Or “Hold open those doors.”) and feel the strong vibratory sensation
