Post from Transformation Tom™- Use Your Voice as a Tool—Chapter “From Fear to Success: A Practical Public-speaking Guide”

use your voice

 

 

 

 

 

Your voice has variety, so use it. Whether you are trying to project
volume or are making soft-spoken points to reach the hearts of the
audience, you can use the full range of what your voice has to offer. I
have been watching the growth of one of my Toastmasters club members.
In a speech about a scary movie, he described himself, “Screaming
like a little girl.” When he first started practicing, his squeal was
soft and constrained. He was coached to let it all out with a mighty,
high-pitched noise. His new approach was uninhibited and achieved
his purpose. The audience reacted with a jolt.

You can use various pitches to put yourself in the moment and even
use different voices if you are speaking as a character or a third party
for further impacts. You don’t have to be a full-blown actor or actress
to spice up your presentations with different emotions brought to life
with your voice. Additionally, you can use pace to your advantage to
convey the urgency of a story or slow it down to set the stage for the
audience. For example, audience members will almost feel themselves
getting exhausted when they hear you breathing heavily as if you have
just run a marathon. Use your voice as a tool and watch your own
effectiveness soar.
