How to Develop a Perfect Speaking Voice

Whether you speak to groups, or are just telling your kids to behave, how your voice sounds to your listeners speaks volumes about their ability to hear you. To be taken seriously, you want to develop a perfect speaking voice. To get your point across, you must control the tone of your voice. Even to land a good job, your voice will impress the interviewer as much as your resume.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Tone down your accent if you are from the south or from an area with a pronounced regional dialect, such as the northeast or central northwest. Try to emulate television newscasters who are trained to have no accent, even though many of them grew up with a pronounced accent.
2. Work on correcting your posture so that the air moves easily from the bottom of your lungs through your mouth. Stooped shoulders or a weak core will affect your speaking voice and prevent you from delivering a smooth oration. Working on your abdominal muscles and lower back is good for every part of your health. Positively influencing your voice is a perk that comes from regular exercise.
3. Remain hydrated at all times so that your vocal chords are smooth and pliable. If you let yourself get parched, your throat will tighten up and affect your speaking voice.
4. Keep your lips soft and moisturized. Often people with great tone and a diaphanous sounding voice ruin the affect by letting their lips go dry and stick together. Too much spittle also will ruin your delivery, so learn to swallow when you take breaths while speaking.
