The Voice-Use Clinic

Speakers and singers listen up! ⁠
⁠
Are you recording yourself? 🎙️⁠
⁠
There is NO greater feedback mechanism than recording yourself and listening back to it. ⁠
⁠
Your friends and family, clients and work colleagues will never be able to give you feedback as accurate and telling as listening back to a recording you've made. ⁠
⁠
It doesn't have to be flash or high tech, all smart phones have the ability to record voice memos these days, and this is the BEST way to listen back and critique your own performance to improve upon it next time.⁠
⁠
Some examples of what we mean:⁠
⁠
- a singer may have no idea that they were going flat at the end of most phrases until listening back to a recording. ⁠
- pretty much everyone is unaware of how many filler words (um, ah, like) they use until a recording is played back to them. ⁠
- don't like the sound of your own voice? Record yourself while you play around with the tone, pitch and volume of your voice until you hear something you like. ⁠

Are you recording yourself? 🎙️

There is NO greater feedback mechanism than recording yourself and listening back to it.

Your friends and family, clients and work colleagues will never be able to give you feedback as accurate and telling as listening back to a recording you've made.

It doesn't have to be flash or high tech, all smart phones have the ability to record voice memos these days, and this is the BEST way to listen back and critique your own performance to improve upon it next time.

Some examples of what we mean:

- a singer may have no idea that they were going flat at the end of most phrases until listening back to a recording.
- pretty much everyone is unaware of how many filler words (um, ah, like) they use until a recording is played back to them.
- don't like the sound of your own voice? Record yourself while you play around with the tone, pitch and volume of your voice until you hear something you like.

Everyone is different, every message is different.

Never believe anyone that tells you that there's only one correct way to do anything. Humans are amazing creators, constantly innovating and improving upon each and every aspect of our lives.

Thursday tip: try practicing delivering messages a few different ways each day!

- If you're delivering a speech, try mixing up the emphasis, speed, pitch and volume of each sentence. 🗣️

- If you tell your wife you love her before you leave for work each morning, try leaving her a note or cooking her breakfast. 🥓 🥚 🥘

- If you read to your children before bed, try acting out the characters in the book with different voices, you could even get them to join in!

Human interest thrives on variation. Keep your listeners engaged, your conversation partners interested and your loved ones constantly surprised by your ability to keep them on their toes 😁

Communication is the glue that makes the world go 'round! As we all know, things go wrong when people are bad at communicating.

No one is just 'born' with the skills to be a great communicator, these are things that are learned over time with the help of environmental influences, imitation and direct practice.

If you want to be a great communicator, you have to practice communicating!

They say for every minute of a speech you're presenting, you should practice for at least ten minutes.

10 minute speech = 10x10=100 minutes!

Not only that, but practicing under different conditions and varying the delivery every time will also put you on the path to presentation success!
