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
