Here’s your survival guide for the dreaded “say a few words” moment at the office party… 🎄
This has saved thousands of professionals from awkward rambling (including me).
Save this to come back to before your next event.
What’s your worst “put on the spot” story? Drop it in the comments - bonus points if you survived it gracefully! 👇
"Your voice is too monotone" 😬
If you've received this feedback, here's the fix.
When your voice lacks modulation, you're restricting your pitch variety – and people tune out, even if your content is brilliant.
Try the Siren Exercise:
Make the "ng" sound (like the end of "sing") very quietly, and glide up and down your vocal register. Add little bounces at the top and bottom.
Do this for a few minutes daily, and you'll naturally use more pitch variety. Your voice becomes more engaging – and people actually listen.
You got this! 💪
