You are a work in progress, and so your voice, the way you speak, the way you feel in your body, the way you present yourself are always changing; ideally growing and expanding in range to more fully and accurately represent who you are and who you are becoming.
But just like hair styles or ways of dressing, we can get stuck in one way of looking, thinking, and sounding. Some considerations regarding your voice: Your voice is not set. In other words, it is dynamic. Does it change to accurately and authentically reflect your current roles, maturity, confidence, and the subtler aspects of your personality? The ones that make you unique? Ones that make you memorable, credible, relatable? The ones that make people want to work with YOU?
Your voice has changed many times over the course of your life. It's been shaped by culture, family, education, societal norms, and personal experiences.
We are habit-driven and we also resort to the familiar and safe, so the work in developing your voice can be challenging. You spoke a certain way yesterday, so that's the way you'll speak today.
If you feel your voice and speech don't reflect who you are or want to be, or that it could be more finely honed, you may feel stuck. Quite simply, when you address voice, you are addressing everything: your identity, the way you connect to your breath, body, thoughts. Embody the voice and you become, or are, the person you were meant to be. It's pretty powerful stuff!
If you're interested in how your voice can be a tool for self-development and self-actualization, and truly represent the dynamic human being you are, join me on Wednesday, when we'll discuss these issues, along with the more specifics about what makes a voice interesting, captivating and memorable.
Details below.
More on this Wednesday's class:
Wake up, listeners! How to develop a more dynamic, interesting voice
Questions to ask yourself:
1.) As a speaker, do you come across as interesting and dynamic?
-Or do you often leave your listeners flat?
2.) Does your voice—and your message resonate with your listeners?
-Or do your words often fail to make an impact?
3.) Are you an engaged, generous communicator?
-Or do you tend to hold yourself back, never fully connecting to the people you are speaking with and the message you are relaying?
As a unique human being, you are by nature interesting. Sometimes the issue is about getting out of your own way. Sometimes, it's related to not having had the experience or guidance to know how to bring out your best self, and voice, in various speaking contexts. The stage is different in each, and so is your role, but there are ways to access and reveal that powerful communicator that’s inside of you just waiting to come out or to shine even brighter.
Join me on Wednesday 11/2/22 at 3:30 pm when we’ll discuss, and then practice, strategies for allowing your expressive, authentic, confident, comfortable self to shine, in any speaking environment.
The breakdown for the 60-minute class will be:
5 minutes: An exercise to get us started.
20 minutes: Teaching.
20 minutes: Practice together.
15 minutes: More questions and discussion.
-You can participate as much or as little as you wish.
If you sign up and then can’t make it, the recording will be available to you for 4 days. But I really hope you can make it in person. You’ll get more out of it. Communication happens in the present moment, and just showing up can make a big difference.
The class is part of a subscription, but is free to first-timers to this series. Each class in this series focuses on a specific topic or problem and incorporates exercises, practice, Q. and A. and discussion.
