As I’ve learned from Vihn Giang and his course that your voice is like music. You gotta use all it’s range for others to even bother to listen to you. Imagine a song with one key of the piano against a song that uses each key at the perfect time to create a sound that people enjoy listening to
I used to face that issue, and I still sometimes do, but if there’s one thing for sure, it’s that my upper max has drastically risen for several possible reasons
I think that talking to myself has been another huge positive influence in being capable and confident enough to play with my voice as if it was an instrument
How and why I think it helps
I feel like it trained me to:
take my voice less seriously
And just simply enjoy talking in general because especially as introverts we don’t like talking, especially we don’t like to put a lot of energy into speaking and that’s not me saying that but it’s a lot of introverts saying that
Now to make this social media friendly
Here’s how you can easily make your voice something that people want to listen to
in this day and age, with people’s short attention span, you need to instantly engage someone’s curiosity and maintain it
as much as the content of what’s you’re speaking is important, the way that you’re speaking is just as important
us humans instantly judge things when we first see them
Lemme share with you something big I learned from the one and only Communication expert Vinh Giang: Your voice is like music. You gotta use all it’s range for others to even bother to listen to you. Imagine a song with one key of the piano against a song that uses each key at the perfect time to create a sound that people enjoy listening to.
When speaking at a low volume, you have limited range, imagine an 8 key piano.
whereas if you increase your volume, you unlock more diverse sounds. In other words, you would be an 88 key piano
So now the big question is, how can you make yourself become someone who naturally is able to speak at a high volume when the situation asks for it. Here’s how I managed to do it:
first technique is by talking to yourself.
When you talk to yourself, you become more comfortable with your voice and less subconscious.
through that, you slowly let go of the fear of being judged or whatever limiting belief you have of yourself And become more Comfortable with getting your voice heard by the masses
another thing related to that is believing and actually having something meaningful to say.
this has a lot to do with self-esteem and Confidence in yourself
finally the best and most fun way you can train yourself to speak louder is by performing and learning improv.
there are so many things that improv can help you get better at in every aspect of your life and this includes your voice
