A first impression is built or broken primarily on your voice.
Is your voice holding you back?
Is your voice subconsciously saying 'I'm not confident?
Do you get a sore throat when you speak?
People buy new clothes, build their physique and buy the latest gadget, but often don't work on what they use to communicate - their voice!
'Speak and Be Heard: 101 Vocal Exercises for Voice Actors, Public Speakers and Professionals' takes weak voices and rebuilds them into strong, golden tones that capture your audience's attention.
Written by a full time audiobook narrator and voice coach, it has everything you need to curate a warm, rich and natural voice that people enjoy listening to!
A large amount of my own personal progress has come from using an 'Ultrabreathe'. It's a fantastic diaphragmatic muscle trainer that helps you learn to control the breath. I wish I had made it myself!
Having some 1 to 1 coaching as suggested by /u/Critboy33 also helps. I realised most people can't afford that, so I published a textbook full of exercises aimed at helping people improve their natural voice; it's also free on Kindle Unlimited and there are samples available on my website.
As a commercial voice actor I was at one point rendered completely mute by acid reflux. It was terrifying and I was disappointed by the books on the market that focused mainly on restoring the voice through 'positive thinking' rather than physical exercises to help rebuild and ultimately strengthen a voice.
I've put the last four years of my life into writing probably one of the most comprehensive voice and speech building exercise books available: 'Speak and Be Heard: 101 Vocal Exercises for Voice Actors, Public Speakers and Professionals'.
It requires no specialist knowledge or lengthy reading. In fact, you can start the exercises from page six!
As a thank you to you all on this sub, the Kindle edition comes free with any order of the £14.99 paperback. I hope it gives you a voice that people enjoy listening to!
