The Speaking Club: Mastering the Art of Public Speaking

How to tell a Story with Your Voice with Helen Langford – 076


Listen Later

Helen Langford has a very nice voice, and you may even have heard it before as she does get about a bit! Having trained to be an actor, she switched to voiceover work when she discovered that not only did she like it but people liked her voice.

Working mostly for corporate clients, including companies like Nestle Royal Mail, Boots, Highways England, and Cambridge English. Every day she tells stories, explains tricky concepts, promotes brilliant ideas and gets to be somebody new!

In this show I asked her to share her story and some voice tips to help public speakers bring their talks to life. So listen to the show to discover Helen's secrets for increasing engagement and utilizing one of the most powerful tools in your public speaker's kit.

What we talk about:

  • Why it's important to record yourself as a public speaker.
  • The power of the pause and why it should be one of your go to voice tools.
  • How to avoid the droning voice.
  • Why your voice is never fully dressed without a smile
  • The difference between pitch and tone
  • Why you should warmup your voice before you speak
  • Simple vocal warmup exercises you can do at the side of the stage.
  • The power of 'now' and how it can fuel our success.
