It’s all in your voice, my friends. Did you know that you can find your true speaking voice? That the voice you’re speaking with now is hindered by physiological tension?
The first step to obtaining an open, assertive voice is to relax your face, mouth, throat, and shoulders. Mmmmhmmm. It’s that easy. I teach you to relax habitually. To be relaxed at all times, including high-stakes situations.
The next step is to use abdominal breathing and air for speech. Your voice should “take a ride” on your exhale.
If you’re ready to be assertive right now, take The Voice Spa. It’s an online video program that trains you step-by-step to have a full, resonant voice, use downspeak, and be concise and persuasive. It’s a life-changer.
Hi
Thanks for finding time to connect with me
I most feel inefficient in talk and usually need to explain myself twice before people can understand me
I want to be able to communicate in a clear and concise way
Thanks
I really have to be more assertive. And I like how you connect assertiveness with credibility. That makes so much sense!
Whenever I’ve tried to be assertive, I’ve always just used too much force with my voice. I was surprised to learn that you have to be relaxed to be assertive. But now it makes sense.
Thank you so much for your blog. It’s really changed my perspective about my speech. I shouldn’t feel embarrassed that I’m not a perfect speaker. I just have to practice the techniques (as you say!)
Interesting.
I was told to use my face more while speaking to release the tension in my throat (I have trouble with losing my voice while speaking).
Great information, I’ll try less to speak upwards.
There’s so much bad information out there. If you want to release the tension in your throat (which is a must for everyone!), moving your face more won’t help. It hinders.
