Great Video: For viewers in a hurry: Here are the tips. Tip One: Relax your muscles, especially if you exercise. Counter muscle tension with relaxation work, massage, rollers, whatever relaxes your muscles. Tip Two: Stop holding your belly in! Breathe in through the belly, letting it rise with air before you speak. Quit being self-conscious about belly breathing. Tip Three: Replace negative talk & thinking with positive speech & thinking. Tell yourself, "I am confident when I speak." STOP SAYING YOU DON'T SPEAK WELL! Replace those thoughts and speech with positive opposites. TIP FOUR: Stop chewing gum. It tenses the jaw muscles. Massage jaws after chewing food. And cut out the chewing gum habit. TIP FIVE: PRACTICE SPEAKING. Read out loud when you're alone. Talk to people on the phone. The more you practice, the better you'll get. FOR THE BONUS TIP: SKIP TO 6:55. it's really good.
I struggle with stuttering since the age of 10, now I am 20 years old. Your videos have helped me a lot. I feel more confident when I speak. Thank you.
@@vocabilities yes. I think your quite a professional so obviously this video enlightened me a lot about a lot of crucial things that I've never even considered paying attention to. You keep up the good work sir.
Very good advise 👌 I love that you mention reading out loud since none of the other videos mentions this. Thank you for your sincere honesty. Practice practice practice. Your speech sounds really good 👍
How to take care of your voice: strain, dryness, optimal hydration, honey: how much how often etc. Also, what not to eat for voiceovers? Thank-you and all the best in the continuation of what you do :)
Awesome video! Thanks :) I started making meditation videos, but found my voice often sounds too high strung. I don't know if there is a video that covers this on your channel. If there is would love to know which one, but if not, please make it! :) Thanks for all the great content you post.
Thank you for your tips, I have one question, when you receive a script for a animated role from agent, how do you interpret the character? How to act by using your voice? Or how to prepare? Thank you in advance.
Excellent points Sir. Daily Practice is the key. An observation from my experience is that it also matters what we are reading aloud daily. If u specialize in speaking on science topics but reading aloud daily about general topics, it does not help much in terms of getting in to the skin of what you actually have to speak about. Is this a correct inference Sir?
Yes Sir. Not just the general terms in each field, but also the required voice tone , mood, humour level may be different.Too much cheer in a serious topic or too less of it in a comic speech may boomerang. It would be v.useful if you give some tips on how to modulate one's voice according to the topic to be spoken about ,without losing original traits of the voice. Thanks a lot Sir.
Really useful pointers Daren 👌 The voice training exercises was one of the areas I’m trying to enhance & your explanation is clear, concise & complimentary targeting focus and discipline. I need to watch ore options & definitely repeat watch to reinforce those pointers 😅 You asked for feedback on alternative areas; how about contracts? I ask as I was essentially used and abused as it were whilst recording a meditation tape at a studio. The girls got me to sign a contract which I did & lost sight of it 🥴 I’m sure the tapes been used multiple times already but without my permission & who knows where? Suggestions and advice on gen areas would be much appreciated Best. Timur
I heard you should breath in and breath out when speaking so the belly is naturally moving in so two contradicting tips are given, which one is correct?
Hi . Ur tips are really helpful . Can you tell me how can we practice to make our diaphragm relaxed .. and to breath from diaphragm. Because I tried it but it's not achivable
Before you speak or sing, breathe in to fill your tummy instead of breathing in making your shoulders go up. You can practice this by lying down or standing up. Put your hands on your tummy and breath in. When you breathe in you should feel your tummy expanding like a balloon. Your shoulders and top half of your body should stay still and should not move. When you take a breath to speak or sing or in between words, try and breath filling your tummy with air like balloon and not tensing your shoulders. It will help to speak for longer and with singers it helps to relax before harder notes and to hold notes. Hope that helps!! X
Mayank Singh Bisht hi mate. The thing is to breathe into your back and allow space for your ribs to move. There might be something postural in this if you have difficulty. Don’t aim to breathe into the belly because without guidance this will most likely make you arch your back, therefore closing off the flexibility of the rib muscles which will stop you from breathing deeply. Your diaphragm works without continued effort. I have an entire free one week course on breathing if you sign up to my newsletter on my website vocabilities.com
Improve Your Voice Sorry musical theatre student but I definitely don’t mean to tense the tummy just to keep relaxed they always say to breathe this way when we sing or do our speeches it’s called SPLAT. The back thing sounds interesting though? How does that work? 😊
I found your channel a few days ago and have watched many of the videos about articulation and warm ups. I wrote down the ones that I can do on my 30 min drive to work each morning. Today I was stopped at a red light with cars on either side of me as I was making the crazy faces found in How to Articulate Better th-cam.com/video/qWP0vFTKx4Q/w-d-xo.html and at least 1 of the 2 saw me and probably thought I was having a fit or something! It gave me a good belly laugh and I continued making crazy faces a bit longer then moved on to the next one. Thank you for your videos. They are practical and helpful!
1-relaxation
2-stop holding you belly
3-negative self talk
“Ihave a fantastic voice”
4-stop chewing gum
5-practice
Thanks 🙏
the 2nd one is STOP holding your belly in, just in case for ppl who come to the comment section first
@@arcticgem2800 thanks! 👍🏻😃

Everyone has a fantastic voice.
Until they start recording their voice 😅😅

Dude the no more belly holding is instantly lowering my voice by a lot- so happy about that one! Thank you :)

If u specialize in speaking on science topics but reading aloud daily about general topics, it does not help much in terms of getting in to the skin of what you actually have to speak about.

Yes there will be near associations made with mouthing general terms in your field I agree. You're a math person I'm guessing?

Hey could you do a video on breath control while speaking ?
Got loads already, check em out!
How big should be the stream of air that we are using for speaking? Should it be thin and narrow?
Are there comp courses for people who are reading for the blind.
Does it take a certain voice quality or voice talent to be a good Shakespearean actor?
Not at all in my opinion. However clarity with words should be fostered to enable the complexities of the text to be audible!
Really useful pointers Daren 👌

What about the pelvic floor?
Wow, I'm great at singing! 2:30 🙃
I heard you should breath in and breath out when speaking so the belly is naturally moving in so two contradicting tips are given, which one is correct?
Sorry can you clarify your question?
Is 30 min vocal exercise is enough for first month?
Arvind Aadarsh as long as that’s every day of that month it’s a good start!
@@vocabilities yes every day . But I want your recommendation on practice timing minimum to maxium
What do you think about the jawzercise things... seems like it’s weightlifting for the jaw! Great video, you, of course have a lovely voice.

Ah man, I often chew gum after meals, as I'd been told that was a good way to prevent tooth decay...
So is flossing and brushing! :)
@@vocabilities True, although it's harder to do that when you're out and about.

Android Game Zone x When you say it’s not achievable what do you mean?
Before you speak or sing, breathe in to fill your tummy instead of breathing in making your shoulders go up. You can practice this by lying down or standing up. Put your hands on your tummy and breath in. When you breathe in you should feel your tummy expanding like a balloon. Your shoulders and top half of your body should stay still and should not move.
