Ep. 138 Tuning Your Instrument with Kevin Burke


Listen Later

Musicians care for their instruments by cleaning and tuning them. As speakers, how should we care for our instrument…our voice? Today Mark and Darren get ‘voice tuning’ lessons from award-winning entertainer, comedian, coach, and speaker Kevin Burke, who holds the Guinness World Record for the most theatrical performances in 50 days. Listen as Kevin guides Darren through a vocal warmup LIVE, offers advice on vocal care, and shares his ‘must-dos’ for speaking at your optimal vocal register so you can be unforgettable.

Snippets:

  • Exercise your voice every day
  • Speakers are vocal athletes; we should train that way
  • Go through a full vocal warm-up before every presentation
  • Add sounds to vocal warmups SLOWLY
  • Vocal exercises will help broaden your vocal range
  • Breathe from your diaphragm, not from your chest
  • Learn skills from different experts. Don’t emulate any one person
  • When your voice is unwell, avoid short-term chemical fixes
  • Tea with honey and herbal remedies help alleviate hoarseness
  • Rest your voice as much as possible prior to your presentation warm-up
