Improve the Quality of Your Voice
The human voice is the organ of the soul.
– Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow
A pot is tested by the sound it
makes and so is a person. Have you ever thought about your voice quality? The
quality of your voice is an important criterion which will add to your image.
Some people have an attractive voice by nature and others can develop or
improve it. Voice pathology is an important field of consultancy. A good voice
can open up a career in the media industry.
Record your voice and check for
the following characteristics:
- Nasal: you may
not know, but your voice may be nasal. Nasal speakers don’t open their
jaws sufficiently.
- Non-authoritative:
your voice does not exude confidence, and lack projection, inflection and
intonation.
- Low voice level:
your voice is too low or too high; it could damage vocal cords.
·
Voice speed: voice could be very fast reflecting
nervousness.
Your voice will decide the
quality and effectiveness of your communication. The purpose of communication
is to produce an outcome in the mind of the receiver.
For the next
three months, take efforts to improve your voice quality. Seek professional
help if needed.
