Podcast By Friday Episode 16
3 Tips To Improve Your Voice Behind The Microphone
Tip #1: Record yourself speaking and take time to listen to it.
- you’ll be surprised to see how many crutch words you use, which if removed, could be an immediate improvement to your voice behind the microphone
- crutch words are fillers such as Ahms, Uhms, it’s like, etc. These are used to avoid silence or a pause.
- it’s a reflection of nervousness, which can be controlled.
- with practice and heightened awareness, this could be drastically reduced.
Tip #2: Sitting versus standing
Sitting leads to less projection of your voice. Being so comfortable in your chair, causes you to project less than if you were standing.
- your body posture such as a slouch affects your ability to sound out words. Your diaphragm is compressed while sitting
- standing on the other hand gives access to the air flow, which is how you sound out words. It aids your exhalation process. Speaking requires great use and management of your breathing.
- standing allows you to project your voice a whole lot more.- some podcasters and other radio personalities have moved away from sitting behind a desk to a standing position while recording.
Tip #3: Join a Toastmasters or similar group or get a speaking coach
- one of the most long running groups that helps people on how to speak better, is Toastmasters International.
- there are other groups that may offer similar opportunities.- outside of having a group, you could hire a coach or a mentor to help develop your speaking skills.
Bonus Tip: Use proper breathing techniques:
- learn taking breaths
if you start playing before you take a breath you are going to run out of breath before you’re done playing.
- use proper techniques in your breathing pattern. Example taking a deep breath and then expelling the air through your mouth pushing from the diaphragm.
Remember, keep breathing, you’ll be fine and practice become permanent.
