Warm up your speaking voice

Singing in the car is a great way to warm up your voice if you are on the way to an important event so take along your favorite CD.  And singing or talking to yourself can clear out any negative energy that might be hanging around you.  It’s a sign of good mental health; And a great way to practise that presentation.  It’s also a great way to pass the travel time and avoid being upset about traffic.  And whether it’s a business destination, or a personal, people will respond to your mood when you arrive.  You can’t lose.  So join the club and enjoy yourself!

So much of our communication in this fast paced world happens over the telephone.  In a phone conversation, your contact has nothing but your voice to relate to. So how your voice comes across on the phone takes on a great deal of importance.

Next time you have to make a really important phone call, try this before you pick up the receiver and dial.

Reflect for a few seconds on a time when you felt really great, when you had a wonderful achievement, or when someone paid you a wonderful compliment.  Are you smiling?   Good!

Now use that feeling as an anchor.  Absorb it for a few seconds.  Take it into your cells.

Now make the call.

To your speaking success
