I recently read an article dealing with the power of the speaking voice and the fact that people who have resonant voices can earn more money than those who do not. As a voice coach, I will not tell you that a great-sounding voice will make you rich; however, I can tell you that those who discover their ‘real’ voice sound better, look better and feel better about themselves which can lead to better jobs, more sales, certainly greater success in your business. Before going any further, I should explain that you have 2 voices: the one you hear on your voice mail, answering machine, or other form of recording equipment and the one you hear in your head. The bad news is that everyone else recognizes you the way you hear your voice on a recording. That which you hear in your head is distorted sound, vibrating in the solid and liquid of the brain and is not a true sound. The good news is that you actually have a much better voice inside of you. I call it your real voice and it is powered by means of your chest cavity. Most people are unaware of this and not using this, their largest and most powerful resonator. Instead, they rely on the throat, voice box, mouth, and nasal cavities to power and amplify their voiced sound. The results are often voices that are whiny, throaty, high-pitched, weak, wimpy, nasal, shrill, hoarse, reedy, whispery, etc. The list is never-ending. When you discover your real voice, the pitch of your voice will probably be deeper. For the majority of people, that is what happens. Not only will your voice be deeper but you will also notice that it has more breadth – fullness – and can be increased in volume without shouting which is known as projection and is only possible if you are using your chest cavity as your primary sounding board. Another benefit of discovering your ‘real’ voice is that you will be heard the 1st time you speak. If you are constantly asked to repeat yourself because you are soft-spoken or possibly have a heavy accent, your voice will be easier to understand because your volume and your diction will improve. No, I will not tell you that you will become rich with voice training but I can say that you will be more successful, both personally and professionally. Discover your real voice and you really will captivate your listeners just by the sound of your voice. The Voice Lady Nancy Daniels offers private, corporate and group workshops in voice and presentation skills as well as Voicing It!, the only video training program on voice improvement.
