I think trying to reduce the intensity of vibrations around the throat was helped me most. English is my second language and I realised my throat is vibrating a lot when I speak it, as opposed to when I'm speaking in my native language. I now sound better when I consciously watch the vibration on the throat.
I find my self not being able to raise my voice because i speak from my throat and i find it rlly hard because i am a student, always giving presentations and speeches for school and my feedback is always to raise my voice. It annoyed me alot before because i was trying, if i attempted to sound more loud my voice would just break. Im glad i found this video
I think my problem is that my voice is quite quiet, so when I speak I often speak a little too loudly to be able to be heard properly (in a loud environment). That leads me to sort of half-shout from my throat instead of just speaking softly. Does that sound logical and plausible? And if so, can I do anything to make my voice louder/more powerful?
@@jimmycannonvoicecoach what i discovered is that when i speak from the throat, i goes to my jaw more and it hurts. When we talk with no strain the placement is rather different from the throat speaking
I have had a very weird speaking / singing journey. Tldr: I spoke through my nose for 16 years, then my throat for 17. Finally, for the last 2 years, I ACTUALLY am speaking and singing from my chest now. Only problem I still have is that I work retail, and am so used to my customer service being my throat voice, that I slip back into it. Trying to learn how to break that habit. I always thought (knew it turns out) that I should be an alto / mezzo-alto for my singing voice. But my speaking voice was so high, everyone I spoke to said not possible. However the soprano / mid-soprano range always felt too high. Friend offered to give me some singing lessons. Turns out I spoke through my nose for ~15 years and no once realized. I start trying to speak through (what I thought was) my chest voice. It seemed so low in comparison, but felt more natural after a bit. However, ~15 years later, I had another shocking reveal. When learning from singing tutorials about placing breath for singing, I realized I STILL wasn't singing through chest vouce. I was speaking through my throat. I learned this because whenever I sang with an open throat (chest voice), my throat would hurt when speaking the rest of the time. Saw a throat specialist who confirmed there was no damage, but my nasal passages were slightly crooked, likely since birth, and since no one caught it, my breath had been placed in the wrong areas. Turns out I am a short-range contralto / mezzo-alto for singing, just like I thought.
Fascinating story thank you for sharing. If it wasn't for your journey as a singer I imagine that you probably wouldn't have explored those different resonant areas of your voice. We all have to keep ourselves in check sometimes, especially when we're using our 'professional' voice...
Interesting video! I’m male and am always confused with being female on the phone. I finally saw a doctor and was diagnosed with sulcus vocalis last year at the age of 30. I had surgery and speech therapy. And now I’m having to learn how to get that chest buzz when speaking. So it’s interesting to see these sort of videos :)
hello!! teen girl here - ive always noticed that when i speak, i push my head back(putting head down and pushing back; tongue feels like it gets in way) and i feel alot of choking in my throat. when i speak it feels like im unwillingly attempting to make it lower. it feels its worse when im socially anxious where it can feel very breathy, and as if cannot speak because my voice is closing the back of my throat too much. :/ how can i speak easier and have a higher tone?
Tricky to give you an accurate opinion without seeing you speak, although exploring different areas of resonance will help. Send me a video of you speaking and I'll do my best to tell you what the problem is...
I am recovering from a paralyzed vocal cord and seeking the *new and improved* version of my voice as strength returns. Feeling solidarity with teenage boys,.
thanks Jimmy, I am a teacher and have asthma, so inhalers are damaging my voice. in last months i had so much pain in my throat during lectures, and I feel I speak too loud and overuse my throat... i am learning a lot from you, and if you have any other advice i would appreciate it so much
I would suggest that you visit your doctor to establish whether there’s any issues. I wouldn’t worry however, it’s probably somatic, and sounds like it could be Globus Pharyngeus (or lump in the throat) which is generally caused by reflux. Let me know how you get on.
@@jimmycannonvoicecoach I think that’s what I have. I’ve been suffering from reflux because I’ve been a chest breather. Just about a week ago started diaphragmatic breathing but still feel the discomfort when talking for long periods of time. Any thoughts?
Same here i used to deepen my voice few years ago and use my throat with it but now i understand why my throat get tired and feel strained when speaking for long time. Damn bad habits do make terrible outcome.
@@NJR-gt8xi I try to sing with my chest voice using the support i get from my diaphragm. I'm not exactly sure how to "speak" with my chest but I think you gotta have a good air support while speaking. From what I've gathered lately to not speak from your throat is to avoid putting too much pressure from it therefore speaking lightly. This could maybe mean talking in higher pitch so long as you don't strain your throat and get exhausted after talking. I'm not an expert and it would help to do your own research as well.
thanks for these videos. its useful to learn about the differences. that monotone throat speaking is exactly what im desperately trying to avoid. i feel like joe rogan has an extremely throaty voice that never quite makes it into his chest, now that i think about it.
Haha, yes well (just had a listen) he’s using his vocal fry to establish a lower pitch, but what he’s not acceding is his ore of his chest resonance. Could also have a lot to do with the amount of compression on his mic sound...
1. no speak from throat. 2. men use chest resonance mostly (modal) women use head (falsetto) 3. access different vocal registers 4. 7 areas of resonance, 3 are chest throat head 5. resonance, pitch inflection, intonation, color togar of voice, breathe control 6. utilize as m any areas as you can, abdominals, outbreath when speaking, using lung, control breath, thin column of air, send air to different areas. head or chest. 7. don't constantly speak from throat. use blend, chest and head voice
How ironic that a recording about speech sound quality has been made with totally irrelevant annoying music mixed in at low level. It should not be there at all. There is one other technical defect, ie a lack of HF response in the voice sound recording. It's a pity because this is a most interesting subject and you have so much to contribute. I think you should just make this recording again.
ive been testing around to focus on the back part of the throat and u get pretty decnet controll of you´re voice that way and for some weird reason u get better controll over your vocal cords when u focus on the back part of the throat
Sometimes people can’t hear me when I am speaking and they have to say “what” and it feels absolutely humiliating and demoralizing every single time. I’m hoping I can change that by watching some of your videos.
I can't avoid speaking like that. When I speak a little lauder my throat hurts and my head voice is quite weak. Can I fix it just practising with breathing exercises?It really makes me disturbed:(
Your throat hurts because you're pushing too much air over the vocal folds, so by controlling the air flow with correct abdominal breathing, you won't need so much air to create a sound. You'd have to send me a video of you speaking for me to determine what's going on with you head voice...
I've been speaking from the throat for years now mostly because of anxiety and recently it's been hurting my throat a lot. Your videos are GREAT because they're actually kinda relaxing. It's felt really stressful to read about these things and trying to apply only to be fucked by even more anxiety. You're doing God's work!
This is the exact same reason I ended up at this video! Always had anxiety around being heard and it has manifested into a permanently constricted throat that seems to get worse when I speak. Trying to break out from this. Looking for a local voice coach

I find myself being too monotonous when I speak. I've been having this lump in my throat, as if it's locked, for a year now. And sometimes I feel like I'm suffocating. I reckon it's got to do with repressed emotion. Definitely need to learn to use my chest voice, cuz when I speak from the throat it hurts
It could be Globus Pharyngeus (I wrote an assignment on this for my masters), which sounds pretty bad but actually is normally caused by reflux. I would consult your doctor. let me know how you get on...
Hlo Jimmy Just a curious question I reckon in Standard british accent or modern RP Voice placement is back in throat and lower and tongue fairly relaxed. When producing vowel sounds resonance is back and down around chest area as well. I'd like to know what do you think?
Thanks Jimmy, why the forward voice placement is crucial? Is it for standard American and British as well? Most of US couches say their accent's placement is back and more low (sounds deeper) then other varieties of English. As for Souther Standard British, I've observed that in SSB all vowel sound can resonate better backwards, some little forward than other vowels but still these maintain backward resonance coz of open space in the back. Well, I'm don't know that much about voice I'm still doing research, exploring. I'd love to know what do you think Jimmy?
But muscle memory is to speak from the throat for me. So many times I tell myself not to engage the throat when I speak, but when the time comes to speak I forget and it comes from my throat. What can I do to ensure that I don't forget to not speak from the throat?
When I speak my throat gets uncomfortable and feels tight, and people say I speak quietly. Could you provide some advice to help me with my voice issues? I also have trouble with resonance. But when I'm relaxed I have a deep and resonating voice and my throat feels relaxed.
I think you've hit the nail on the head there... You should try and be as relaxed as you can when you speak, especially in the throat area... (Larynx) However it's difficult to ascertain what's going on without hearing you...
Hey man, I speak from the throat but if I focus I can speak from my belly. But when I talk to a person it automatically changes to my throat. How can I prevent this from happening?
When you speak, your habitual phonation will occur. . Practising supporting the breath from your belly, and creating sub-glottal pressure will help to take the strain away from your throat. It's a bit difficult to explain here..
same here.I forgot to speak the way i used to and now i am using my throat too much and keeping all the muscles relax while speaking that is causing a lot of pain in my throat😭what should i do? should i use my tongue and lips more to avoid throat pain
Hi i dont know if youre still responding but i have terrible vocal scarring, suffer with hoarseness, and speak with a lower register i guess? i often lose my voice after talking for too long and it even begins to ache. I dont know if theres anyway to get more fullness in my voice or to fix my throat being so fragile when i speak.
Always responding. Have you spoken to your doctor about the scarring? This is something that might need clinical intervention. Otherwise, happy to help.
@@jimmycannonvoicecoach i have spoken with my doctor. i suffer with bad acid reflux and have been treated for it but because of this my voice is very fragile. i realize that this is probably something you wont be able to help me with. im sorry

I have trouble getting my voice to cut through. I feel as if a frog is constantly in my throat. I either speak in a mumble when trying to talk low or I often have to speak loud to get voice to cut through. Are there any exercises I can do to help open throat?
Hi Maurice, yes. Quite a few exercises actually. Truthfully, you should sign up to my Master Your Voice online program. Here's a link: www.jimmycannon.com/masteryourvoice
Yes, it is the particles in the air that create the sound, but first, there needs to be some form of vibration from the vocal folds (cords) this is called phonation. This phonation comes from the throat, however, can be directed to different resonant areas such as the oral cavity.
MM.... I have given this much thought over my lifetime... As a singer and perpetually interested in voice, I have TRIED almost every way imaginable of vocalising ... I think of it, ie NOT using the throat, as having absolutely no +/- air pressure differential in your vocal tract... I'm not pushing air and I'm not inhaling it (that's one way to sing) ... seems to work for me. There are various styles of singing and vocalising that rely on either positive or negative pressure through your vocal tract, they're interesting to experiment with but not healthy as your 'every day driver' lmao edit: interestingly the unique castrati/unuch sound was obtained due to the cavernous chest/lung capacity they had and their ability to push such huge amts air over relative small/thin vocal folds! :D :D :D As a Hybrid vocalist, this is significant to me and my progression.
I know it's 2 years later but I hope I'm not too late Im trying to speak like Thomas Shelby im 19 almost 20 and I play on a console and all of the people I meet on this console they say my voice is deep but I don't hear myself like that I need some help to speak from the throat I would appreciate
I feels I speak from the throat. Because is less effort to speak louder and less air used. But it sounds less manly 😅. I feel like this also mess up my singing techniques. Any suggestions?
Yes it applies to singing, in fact most of the techniques I use in my public speaking coaching derive from singing techniques and my experience as a performer.
If you've been to an ENT and they say there's no Dysphonia as such, then you should work on creating more chest resonance, as well as better vocal fold adduction.

Hi, Jimmy! Kudos to you for this super insightful video. I am in need of your help… I speak with my breath a lot. A seem to be out of air a lot and then my throat and mouth seems to dry out even more. How do I stop breathing through my mouth while talking? I noticed my voice changes when I breath while talking, hold my breath while talking, etc. What is the proper way to speak? 🥴 lol thank you 🙂
Thanks for your question and kudos. The reason probably you're experiencing dryness in your throat is because you're pushing too much air over your vocal folds. can help with this if you like?
I think I use my head voice too much. In an attempt to use my chest voice, and to speak with a descending tone to sound confident instead of ascending, I've hurt my vocal chords. Very sore just to the RH side of my throat. I've noticed this particularly happens when I go down at the end of a word. I'm not intentionally trying to speak lower per say, just better. I know you can hurt yourself of you're walking around sounding artificially low and I don't think that's what I've done. What are some other common mistakes people make that can cause damage?

I have Spasmodic dysphonia and read about the improvements one can get from avoiding speaking from the throat. The recommendation is to use head voice. I’m not sure how to achieve this and sustain it in speaking. Can you help me?
You're always physiologically speaking from the throat. That's where the sound comes from, however we want to use our Diaphragm (actually our abdominus muscles) to control the sound.
Hello, I have a question for you, when you say chest at 3:03... Before, thoart and head, your voice change, it had such different colour, can you tell me, how is it work?
Hi Michal, I'm speaking predominantly about resonance here, and finding what is known as chest voice (not to be confused with modal voice which is your normal speaking voice), which is a sympathetic vibration of sound in the chest cavity. There are plenty of exercises that help you find that chest 'resonance'. Hope that helps, can be rather confusing..
@@jimmycannonvoicecoach yes I know that, but when you say the word chest, it sounds different, i don't know if we understand each other. There were something different in spoken voice... Don't know what, if overtones or something like that.
@@michalpolivka6208 ah, ok I get it. Yes, I’m actually speaking in my mixed voice, which is a combination of chest and head (or more correctly, modal 1 and falsetto) is that what you meant?
Exercises to take the resonance away from your throat. The more you practice these ones and others, the more likely the muscle memory will impact the change and you won't continue to speak from your throat.
@@jimmycannonvoicecoach please I have notice this when speaking when I push in my upper abdomen around my chest under my voice moves to it's normal speaking position, sir please what could be the problem sir?
Control the air flow with your Abdominal muscles and find different areas of resonance. I'm afraid it's a little more than I can share with you here. Please take a look at my other videos here, or you're welcome to book a discovery call with me.
I woke up at 5am in the morning on January 19th and I woke my mom up and I couldn't talk because my sore throat I try to say love you mom I couldn't say it
Hello, i think i made a bad habit with the way i talk, i will try to explain in the best way possible, because my english is kinda bad. Okay so, im 17 and my voice is pretty deep, even sometimes in ashmed of it, because if someone ask me for something, and i give a simple answer, i sound kinda mean and scary with the deep voice (im not mean i just answer without thinking it) And i began to punish my voice to sound not that deep, maybe not deep at all, just because sometimes when i speak, i sound rude and scary. And i think i speak from my head, like that little head voice when you think of something, and i speak with it, instead of speaking from the throat (when i speak from the throat, my voice is deep like before but i feel some vibration from it) Also i want to say that, before with my gf, we tended to speak each other with soft voices (Its the same voice i speak when i punished it so it wont sound rude) And it become like a habit, even she has that habit sometimes too. And i want to ask, if i developed a habit about talking with a soft voice, how do i change it in order to sound like my previous deep voice before? Im very concerned, bc i want to speak with my normal deep voice, but i think the soft voice became a big habit, and sometimes like i said, i punish it without thinking too. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long comment :)
Hi there, Firstly thank you for getting in touch. Secondly, please don't give yourself a hard time about this, it's more than likely that you can fix this.

@@jimmycannonvoicecoach well I can tell everyones voice is louder, but yes I am working on it👍 growing up I was very shy and restricted my voice from being over heard and even now I catch myself talking low at restaurants while I can hear everyone else's conversation, I tell myself my voice deserves to be loud and heard aswell.

i feel comfortable speaking in my tone , but whenever i try to present i tend to speak louder which causes my throat to hurt so much . what can i do to fix this problem ?
Thanks for your comment Qistina. Your throat is hurting probably because you're pushing too much 'vocal load' ver your vocal folds. The answer is to control the rate of breath.
Is it too late? I always speak with throat voice because I'm a baritone since 7th grade. And people laugh at me when I talk. I was 5'2 then, 5'7 now. Yes, small body with a somehow deep voice. I don't like it.
when i try and sing anything remotely near my hear voice it gets very crackly? and my friends have said it sounds like something is stuck in my throat and it’s been plaguing me for about three years. at first it only happened during choir auditions but now it happens during practice and sometimes by myself too, i’m in the last year at my choir and i really want to be able to contribute just as well as everyone else (current choir i’m in is an all comer’s choir, (probably my vocal issues stopped me from getting into the auditioned choir but that’s neither here nor there since i wouldn’t have been able to commit the extra time anyway. )
I seem to always talk from my throat, but been hearing people telling me to speak with the diaphragm and I’m like... what? After seeing a few videos about speaking from the diaphragm I’ve been practicing and it seems to help make my voice a little louder and deeper and not sounding like a dubbed female anime character. I know I have a speech impediment mostly due to the letter R, but speaking from the diaphragm I can hear myself more clearly
That's great news. To be slightly geeky, you don't actually speak with (or from) the Diaphragm. The diaphragm contracts on the in-breath to allow the lugs to expand and take in oxygen, but it's your Abdominus muscles that help to push the diaphragm back up to push the air out. What you want to focus on is taking the energy away from the throat (Larynx) allowing you to find more resaonance. Happy to chat...
@@jimmycannonvoicecoach I remembered people used to compare my voice with Mike Tyson, just less baby talk. It used in infuriate me and a lot of people would ask me where I’m from or what’s my accent. I had to tell them I have a speech impediment, but this is helping me a lot

Hi, how do I know if I’m speaking from my throat or not, my throat hurts when I speak for more than 10 seconds and my voice is just not loud and clear enough. What can I do to improve the way I speak?
Hi Adam, well firstly your voice really shouldn't be hurting after 10 seconds of speaking, that's for sure... which means that either you're pushing too much air over your vocal folds (not supporting your breath correctly), or your larynx is bunched up and too strained, which could be a somatic response, possibly MTD. More likely the latter. My advice would be to work on your breathing and finding different areas of vocal resonance to take the strain away from your throat. Happy to help: hello@jimmycannon.com
@@adamhussain21 It's more likely to be that your voice is strained and some voice resonant exercises would do the trick. Happy to give you a free 30 min session to help you find out. My email is hello@jimmycannon.com

Same here i used to deepen my voice few years ago and use my throat with it but now i understand why my throat get tired and feel strained when speaking for long time. Damn bad habits do make terrible outcome.
@@shadowreaper5413 How to speak from chest?
@@NJR-gt8xi I try to sing with my chest voice using the support i get from my diaphragm. I'm not exactly sure how to "speak" with my chest but I think you gotta have a good air support while speaking. From what I've gathered lately to not speak from your throat is to avoid putting too much pressure from it therefore speaking lightly. This could maybe mean talking in higher pitch so long as you don't strain your throat and get exhausted after talking. I'm not an expert and it would help to do your own research as well.
@@shadowreaper5413 Thks👍
thanks for these videos. its useful to learn about the differences. that monotone throat speaking is exactly what im desperately trying to avoid. i feel like joe rogan has an extremely throaty voice that never quite makes it into his chest, now that i think about it.
Haha, yes well (just had a listen) he’s using his vocal fry to establish a lower pitch, but what he’s not acceding is his ore of his chest resonance. Could also have a lot to do with the amount of compression on his mic sound...
Bro we all no damn well you don’t care about nun of that shii u just wanna make your voice deeper😂😂
So, I’m a man, how do you practice the blend? The chest voice and head voice? Why not speaking just from my chest?
You might be interested in my group programme. Only 3 more places left for November: myvgroupprogramme.scoreapp.com
1. no speak from throat.
2. men use chest resonance mostly (modal) women use head (falsetto)
3. access different vocal registers
4. 7 areas of resonance, 3 are chest throat head
5. resonance, pitch inflection, intonation, color togar of voice, breathe control
6. utilize as m any areas as you can, abdominals, outbreath when speaking, using lung, control breath, thin column of air, send air to different areas. head or chest.
7. don't constantly speak from throat. use blend, chest and head voice
Thanks for this, although I think I'd prefer to watch the video...
just notes for self@@jimmycannonvoicecoach
@@TruePhil I appreciate it 🥰
How ironic that a recording about speech sound quality has been made with totally irrelevant annoying music mixed in at low level. It should not be there at all. There is one other technical defect, ie a lack of HF response in the voice sound recording. It's a pity because this is a most interesting subject and you have so much to contribute. I think you should just make this recording again.

I think at the time I must have read somewhere that it kept people's attention... evidently, I was wrong 😃
ive been testing around to focus on the back part of the throat and u get pretty decnet controll of you´re voice that way and for some weird reason u get better controll over your vocal cords when u focus on the back part of the throat
You'd have to show me what you mean...

I can't avoid speaking like that. When I speak a little lauder my throat hurts and my head voice is quite weak. Can I fix it just practising with breathing exercises?It really makes me disturbed:(
Your throat hurts because you're pushing too much air over the vocal folds, so by controlling the air flow with correct abdominal breathing, you won't need so much air to create a sound. You'd have to send me a video of you speaking for me to determine what's going on with you head voice...
@@jimmycannonvoicecoach Thank you so much I'm going to try
I've been speaking from the throat for years now mostly because of anxiety and recently it's been hurting my throat a lot.
Your videos are GREAT because they're actually kinda relaxing. It's felt really stressful to read about these things and trying to apply only to be fucked by even more anxiety.
You're doing God's work!
I'm glad someone is :) I appreciate the comment. Tell me more about your anxiety.
Totally relatable. My exact situation

I find myself being too monotonous when I speak. I've been having this lump in my throat, as if it's locked, for a year now. And sometimes I feel like I'm suffocating. I reckon it's got to do with repressed emotion. Definitely need to learn to use my chest voice, cuz when I speak from the throat it hurts
It could be Globus Pharyngeus (I wrote an assignment on this for my masters), which sounds pretty bad but actually is normally caused by reflux. I would consult your doctor. let me know how you get on...
Hlo Jimmy
Just a curious question
I reckon in Standard british accent or modern RP
Voice placement is back in throat and lower and tongue fairly relaxed.
When producing vowel sounds resonance is back and down around chest area as well.
I'd like to know what do you think?
You're right, although it depends on the vowel. Also, forward placement is crucial. Have a listen to Tom Hiddleston
Thanks Jimmy, why the forward voice placement is crucial? Is it for standard American and British as well? Most of US couches say their accent's placement is back and more low (sounds deeper) then other varieties of English. As for Souther Standard British, I've
observed that in SSB all vowel sound can resonate better backwards, some little forward than other vowels but still these maintain backward resonance coz of open space in the back.
Well, I'm don't know that much about voice I'm still doing research, exploring.
I'd love to know what do you think Jimmy?
But muscle memory is to speak from the throat for me. So many times I tell myself not to engage the throat when I speak, but when the time comes to speak I forget and it comes from my throat. What can I do to ensure that I don't forget to not speak from the throat?
It has to become instinctive and that's practice. First of all though, you need to explore other areas of resonance...
@@jimmycannonvoicecoach thanks 👍
holy crap, I tried to do falsetto while doing chest or abdomen resonance and it's impossible, this is brilliant!
It's not impossible... You're creating a TA (thyroarytenoid) dominant phonation and your larynx is low, so yes pretty difficult 😋
Hey jimmi love your work man please make a video on treating vocal nodules.
Thanks. I'm not a clinician unfortunately, although a lot of my exercises would help.
When I speak my throat gets uncomfortable and feels tight, and people say I speak quietly. Could you provide some advice to help me with my voice issues? I also have trouble with resonance. But when I'm relaxed I have a deep and resonating voice and my throat feels relaxed.
I think you've hit the nail on the head there... You should try and be as relaxed as you can when you speak, especially in the throat area... (Larynx) However it's difficult to ascertain what's going on without hearing you...
@@jimmycannonvoicecoach I'm relaxed now because I'm by myself, but how do I keep my throat relaxed
the music is a bit distracting

It's a deal.
Hey man, I speak from the throat but if I focus I can speak from my belly. But when I talk to a person it automatically changes to my throat. How can I prevent this from happening?
When you speak, your habitual phonation will occur. .
Practising supporting the breath from your belly, and creating sub-glottal pressure will help to take the strain away from your throat. It's a bit difficult to explain here..
@@jimmycannonvoicecoach I have this question too. Do you by chance have a video on this, or one you can recommend?

Hi i dont know if youre still responding but i have terrible vocal scarring, suffer with hoarseness, and speak with a lower register i guess? i often lose my voice after talking for too long and it even begins to ache. I dont know if theres anyway to get more fullness in my voice or to fix my throat being so fragile when i speak.
Always responding. Have you spoken to your doctor about the scarring? This is something that might need clinical intervention. Otherwise, happy to help.

I have trouble getting my voice to cut through. I feel as if a frog is constantly in my throat. I either speak in a mumble when trying to talk low or I often have to speak loud to get voice to cut through. Are there any exercises I can do to help open throat?
Hi Maurice, yes. Quite a few exercises actually. Truthfully, you should sign up to my Master Your Voice online program. Here's a link: www.jimmycannon.com/masteryourvoice
Please when talking there shd be an air within our mouth right? Bcos without that the sound waves bring that speak from the throat
Yes, it is the particles in the air that create the sound, but first, there needs to be some form of vibration from the vocal folds (cords) this is called phonation. This phonation comes from the throat, however, can be directed to different resonant areas such as the oral cavity.
Sir please make a video on how to maintain gesture and posture as supervisor
Hi there, could you explain what you're struggling with please?
I speak through my noise how can you help me with that
You need to find more resonance in your chest. Let me know if you'd like to schedule a call...
MM.... I have given this much thought over my lifetime... As a singer and perpetually interested in voice, I have TRIED almost every way imaginable of vocalising ... I think of it, ie NOT using the throat, as having absolutely no +/- air pressure differential in your vocal tract... I'm not pushing air and I'm not inhaling it (that's one way to sing) ... seems to work for me. There are various styles of singing and vocalising that rely on either positive or negative pressure through your vocal tract, they're interesting to experiment with but not healthy as your 'every day driver' lmao
edit: interestingly the unique castrati/unuch sound was obtained due to the cavernous chest/lung capacity they had and their ability to push such huge amts air over relative small/thin vocal folds! :D :D :D As a Hybrid vocalist, this is significant to me and my progression.
This is why I transitioned into public speaking... but good luck x
@@jimmycannonvoicecoach thankyou! I need all the luck!!
Sir I get stuck with explosive words like T, P , L , N , Q how would I overcome this I can't even utter these word initials
They're mainly dental shapes. Try practicing just the vowel shapes with your tongue and then intone them (long tone)
Who found the switch to the head voice funny😂😂
I'll have to watch it back... I try to be funny, doesn't always work 😁
I know it's 2 years later but I hope I'm not too late Im trying to speak like Thomas Shelby im 19 almost 20 and I play on a console and all of the people I meet on this console they say my voice is deep but I don't hear myself like that I need some help to speak from the throat I would appreciate
I'm not sure what you're looking to do? I wouldn't necessarily try and speak like hi,. You're likely to strain your voice.
Really interesting video. Very well explained. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it.

It isn't easy to describe in words. However, I have (an old) video on the subject: th-cam.com/video/TlXjDLuCyCc/w-d-xo.html
I feels I speak from the throat. Because is less effort to speak louder and less air used. But it sounds less manly 😅. I feel like this also mess up my singing techniques. Any suggestions?
Yes it applies to singing, in fact most of the techniques I use in my public speaking coaching derive from singing techniques and my experience as a performer.

Hi, Jimmy! Kudos to you for this super insightful video.
I am in need of your help… I speak with my breath a lot. A seem to be out of air a lot and then my throat and mouth seems to dry out even more.
How do I stop breathing through my mouth while talking? I noticed my voice changes when I breath while talking, hold my breath while talking, etc. What is the proper way to speak? 🥴 lol thank you 🙂
Thanks for your question and kudos. The reason probably you're experiencing dryness in your throat is because you're pushing too much air over your vocal folds. can help with this if you like?
The beard game is strong in this one 😁
I think I use my head voice too much. In an attempt to use my chest voice, and to speak with a descending tone to sound confident instead of ascending, I've hurt my vocal chords. Very sore just to the RH side of my throat. I've noticed this particularly happens when I go down at the end of a word. I'm not intentionally trying to speak lower per say, just better. I know you can hurt yourself of you're walking around sounding artificially low and I don't think that's what I've done. What are some other common mistakes people make that can cause damage?

You're always physiologically speaking from the throat. That's where the sound comes from, however we want to use our Diaphragm (actually our abdominus muscles) to control the sound.

Hi Michal, I'm speaking predominantly about resonance here, and finding what is known as chest voice (not to be confused with modal voice which is your normal speaking voice), which is a sympathetic vibration of sound in the chest cavity. There are plenty of exercises that help you find that chest 'resonance'. Hope that helps, can be rather confusing..

Hello, i think i made a bad habit with the way i talk, i will try to explain in the best way possible, because my english is kinda bad.
Okay so, im 17 and my voice is pretty deep, even sometimes in ashmed of it, because if someone ask me for something, and i give a simple answer, i sound kinda mean and scary with the deep voice (im not mean i just answer without thinking it)
And i began to punish my voice to sound not that deep, maybe not deep at all, just because sometimes when i speak, i sound rude and scary.
And i think i speak from my head, like that little head voice when you think of something, and i speak with it, instead of speaking from the throat (when i speak from the throat, my voice is deep like before but i feel some vibration from it)
Also i want to say that, before with my gf, we tended to speak each other with soft voices (Its the same voice i speak when i punished it so it wont sound rude)
And it become like a habit, even she has that habit sometimes too.
And i want to ask, if i developed a habit about talking with a soft voice, how do i change it in order to sound like my previous deep voice before? Im very concerned, bc i want to speak with my normal deep voice, but i think the soft voice became a big habit, and sometimes like i said, i punish it without thinking too.

when i try and sing anything remotely near my hear voice it gets very crackly? and my friends have said it sounds like something is stuck in my throat and it’s been plaguing me for about three years. at first it only happened during choir auditions but now it happens during practice and sometimes by myself too, i’m in the last year at my choir and i really want to be able to contribute just as well as everyone else (current choir i’m in is an all comer’s choir, (probably my vocal issues stopped me from getting into the auditioned choir but that’s neither here nor there since i wouldn’t have been able to commit the extra time anyway. )
It would be difficult to diagnose your situation without hearing you sing unfortunately...
I seem to always talk from my throat, but been hearing people telling me to speak with the diaphragm and I’m like... what? After seeing a few videos about speaking from the diaphragm I’ve been practicing and it seems to help make my voice a little louder and deeper and not sounding like a dubbed female anime character. I know I have a speech impediment mostly due to the letter R, but speaking from the diaphragm I can hear myself more clearly
That's great news. To be slightly geeky, you don't actually speak with (or from) the Diaphragm. The diaphragm contracts on the in-breath to allow the lugs to expand and take in oxygen, but it's your Abdominus muscles that help to push the diaphragm back up to push the air out. What you want to focus on is taking the energy away from the throat (Larynx) allowing you to find more resaonance. Happy to chat...

Hi, how do I know if I’m speaking from my throat or not, my throat hurts when I speak for more than 10 seconds and my voice is just not loud and clear enough. What can I do to improve the way I speak?
Hi Adam, well firstly your voice really shouldn't be hurting after 10 seconds of speaking, that's for sure... which means that either you're pushing too much air over your vocal folds (not supporting your breath correctly), or your larynx is bunched up and too strained, which could be a somatic response, possibly MTD. More likely the latter. My advice would be to work on your breathing and finding different areas of vocal resonance to take the strain away from your throat. Happy to help: hello@jimmycannon.com
JimmyCannonVoiceCoach would it be wise to see a doctor about the issue?
@@adamhussain21 It's more likely to be that your voice is strained and some voice resonant exercises would do the trick. Happy to give you a free 30 min session to help you find out. My email is hello@jimmycannon.com

Hi Trinity, Well, it's about finding resonance in other areas, such as the chest. The phonation originates from the throat, however by using techniques to create more chest resonance and pitch variety, you can find a deeper sounding voice. let me know if you'd like to find out more...
