Voice Training

Question 1

My own scoring of tape recording of my voices:
1. Voice relevance: 8 (How well I adapt to situations)
2. Confidence: 3
(to see if there are a few stops in one sentence or power up through at one setting, or fade out to the end, volume)
My own assessment:
- I have unnecessary stops in a sentence when I was talking;
- my voice is fading off as I finished my thought.
- I used “annnd..” sounds very unconfident. my pronunciation of vowels last too long, such as “or” in “report”, “ew” in “news”.
- I always make stops for a second after words “just” “and..”
3. Stuttering: 6 (Words like Eh, mm)
4. Clarity: 5 (All words are pronounced clearly or eat some words)
5. Speed: 6 (too slow or too fast)
6. Resonance: (voice can be richer)

Question 2

resonance increases the authority in voice. do daily low humming can help improve it - go as low as you can and put a hand on the upper chest to feel the vibration.

Answer 2

Clarity exercise: open a news and read a paragraph with a pen put between mouth. try to speak as clearly as possible as you are held in hostage. this can help mouth muscle.

Question 3

do a breathing exercise: 1-4-2, 2-8-4, 4-16-8 between inhale, hold and breath out through mouth.
