The Truth about Your Voice

The Overview

Voice Lessons? They’re Not about Talent

Hear your voice breaking in spots?

If you know how to control the pitch, pace, tone, volume, and melody of your voice—the elements that form the core of this book—you can consciously use them to guide the emotions of your listeners and magnify the impact of every communication you have.

The quality of your voice depends primarily on the way you position the cords and the amount of air you move through them, and great singing or speaking happens when the right amount of air meets the right amount of cord. Remember that phrase because it’s the basis of just about everything we’ll be doing together.

The human voice is set up to speak or sing twenty-four hours a day without getting hoarse or strained or creating any physical problems.
