Recently I read about the communication style and way to communicate. I get to know about the tips to improve our voice. I am sharing few tips which may help all of us.
What does VOICE stands for?
We communicate all the time with our family, friends, office colleagues and estrangers. Some time we communicate with our inner self. But to we pay attention to how our voice sounds to others? A research has confirmed that the words we speak only convey less than 10 percent of our message. The 90 percent of our message is conveys how we sounds to others?
Is not this strange to know? This does not matter that we speak flawless, use good vocabulary to the recipient of our communication but, how we sound and how our body language responds during the conversation is important.
VOICE stands for V.O.I.C.E = Volume, Output Rate, Inflection, Clarity and emphasis
##. My voice is Loud
If your voice is loud you are taken as an aggressive and unfriendly person. A loud voice can be controlled by keeping off from cigarette, chewing-gum, and chocolates in mouth.
##.My voice is slow
If your voice is slow the listeners will doubt about your ability to understand the topic you are talking about. Your knowledge on the subject, you are talking about is taken as low and not perfect.
You can improve your voice by concentrating on your breathing. You should try to breath from upper part of your chest.
##. My voice is good but pronunciation is not good.
If your pronunciation is not good or you have difficulty to speak the words your voice becomes the topic of interest rather than the content of the message. You can improve your voice by moving your tongue and lips fully. You should avoid dry, smoky and dusty environment to keep a healthy voice.
There many tips you can use like recording your voice and listening yourself to feel how you sounds, you can do some breathing exercise as well to strength your mouth muscles.
Remember our VOICE play an important role in our interpersonal communication so we should pay attention to improve this. A poor voice can be reason for not getting the growth you would have liked in your personal and professional life.
With this I would like to sign-off for year 2011 and wish you all a Very Happy New Year 2012.
“May God bless you and your family and gift you all the success, health and happiness all the time!!!”
