How To Improve Speaking Voice

Have you ever being attracted to the voice of the radio deejay, singer and phone operator? Most of them can speak very well with their pleasant voice. Thus, we are so passion and interested to listen to them. At the same time, some of us are very admire of them and deeply hope that we can also speak, just like them. Although some of us are not interested to become a radio deejay, a singer or even a phone operator, we still need to improve our speaking voice. This is because we may need to give a public speech or a seminar in the future for the career.
Therefore, I would like to share some ways to improve our speaking voice. First and foremost, we should practice breathing through your chest. As we know, most of us seldom breathe through their chest, instead they breathe through their throat. Breathing through throat will produce a high pitch voice, which most of us find that it is very irritating to hear a person who speaks with high pitch voice. As a result, in order to produce a lower pitched voice, we should try to adjust our breathing through chest.
Secondly, we should improve our voice pitch. The voice pitch for each of us is very different. Hence, we need to spend some time to find the perfect voice pitch. A lowered pitch voice will enhance our maturity and authority. Some of us may find it very difficult to accomplish both the breathing through the chest and the suitable voice pitch, therefore, practice is a must for every one of us.
Last but not least, we also need to improve our articulation. We need to improve how the words come out from our mouth, so that our voice will sound pleasant and the audience will not misunderstand our speech. In order to do so, we can practice through word twister. We can find some word twister which we find it very difficult and try to practice it. We must open our mouth widely and emphasize each vowel while speaking. By doing so, we can avoid phonemic problems.
