Voice tips from a professional voice coach.

If you are giving a presentation – 38% of your communication is vocal.

Common problems in vocal delivery during a presentation include the voice sounding;

1. aggressive
2. unconvincing
3. bored
4. emotional
5. monotonous

Here are some basic tips from a Professional Voice coach that may help you to improve your vocal delivery.

Before giving your presentation:

Be well prepared and rehearsed – write out your text in full, reduce to note format. Rehearse your speech aloud making eye contact with your audience.

Look after your voice! – Drink plenty of water the night before – avoid red wine cheese and anything with caffeine.

On the day:

Remember to breathe – in a pressured situation, the untrained voice can become constricted, and the breathing shallow.

Find your balance – knees unlocked, head up and shoulders released down.

TBS sequence – think, breathe, and speak!

New Thought, New Pitch – vary your pitch to convey a new point or message
