About this episode
When you sound confident, the audience hears that and listens better to you.
Your voice is just like a muscle. Without daily conditioning, the voice will weaken. A strong voice is a leader's best way to convey conviction, confidence, and commitment.
The perfect daily warmup includes exercises in this order:
Relaxation
Breathing
Articulator Stretches
Touching Sound
Resonance
Projection
Articulation Agility (Tongue Twisters)
When the speaker's voice is warmed up, it is much easier to speak with confidence.
Listen to the creative ways to warm up the voice. Do these exercises with me to feel the immediate impact of a stronger voice.
