A timid voice is often a hindrance. A louder voice makes a conversation more intelligible. When you speak louder, the articulation of some words becomes clearer. Voice training is essential for educators and consultants who work with large audiences.
Doctors and other healthcare professionals also often need to speak louder when dealing with elderly patients with hearing impairments.
1. Take a long, deep breath before speaking; thus, the volume of the lungs increases. Practice by taking a deep breath and then trying to breathe in more air. Let the air out of your lungs slowly, controlling your exhalation. Practice these breathing exercises.
2. Take a deep breath and speak while exhaling slowly. Use more breath for each word than you would in normal conversation. Breathe out more air with each word to speak louder. If it's too loud, then use less air as you exhale.
3. When speaking, use your diaphragm, not your lungs. Imagine your words emerging from the belly. In this way, the timbre of the voice becomes lower, making it easier to perceive.
