Having an attractive, confident sounding voice is attainable for everyone.

And today I'm going to teach you how, using what I've learned as an opera singer and YouTuber.

Let's start off with some of the things you can physically do to enhance the quality of your voice and make the most of the voice that naturally comes out of your mouth.

So all of us have a natural speaking voice.

It comes with a natural tone, intonation, and timbre.

That's just kind of what you're born with, and that's largely dictated by the structure of your face.

You should think of your body and your face as a musical instrument, and

the more space it has in different areas, the different sounding your voice will be.

But there are definitely things you can do to make it work for you and kind of manipulate it a little bit so that it has that beautiful honey quality that so many of us love in a great speaking voice.

In order to do this, it's important to understand where we naturally speak and how so many of us tend to manipulate our voices artificially and then how you can do it so that it sounds organic.

So when we speak, most of us speak a little bit higher or lower than our natural register.

And in my experience, it's better if you speak right in the middle of it.

So rather than having your voice come through your forehead or your nose, you know that mustard really clears up the nasal passages or your voice come through your throat.

You want it to come from your mouth, quite literally.

And that is the most pleasurable and easy place to place your voice so that it sounds really good.

The first exercise that's perfect for placing your voice exactly in the mask or the center of your face.

And my own personal favorite exercise for doing this is lip trills.

Now, this sounds ridiculous, feels ridiculous, and

you look ridiculous when you do it, but it works really, really well.

So try to get all of that out of your mind and just really lean into it, and

I think you'll be really happy with the results.

So in order to do a lip trill, all you need to do is take a really big, deep breath in.

And then when you exhale, you're going to blow through your closed lips, kind of like you're doing a raspberry.

And you can hear, just from my own example just now, my voice already sounds like it's in a Better place just from when I started the video.

As you were doing your lip trills, you probably ran into a little bit of difficulty in maintaining it, and

It felt like your air was kind of running out.

And that's because many of us, when we think lip trill or we think anything that requires a lot of air, we almost want to sustain too short, so we want to punch our air out.

If you think of your lungs and your body as an accordion, we think big breath in and then quick exhale.

in order to make your voice sound really nice when you're speaking or singing, you want to make sure that it's riding gracefully on all of the air supply that you have.

So, again, using the accordion analogy, you want to bring as much air as possible into your lungs and then slowly let it out.

If you get rid of it too quickly, not only will you not be able to do a lip trill and your voice won't be put in the right spot, but

that naturally makes people very nervous when you're talking to them.

Because when someone sounds like they're running out of oxygen, it's already natural biological inclination to get scared.

I'm going to do one version running out of oxygen, and then one not running out of oxygen.

all of a sudden it feels like I'm running out of air.

And now I'm going to get really, really nervous.

And you can feel that I'm getting really stressed and I'm really tense.

And now I'm just kind of struggling to breathe because I'm literally running out of oxygen in my lungs versus this, where I'm speaking slowly and really using all of the air in my system.

And when I feel like I'm running out of, I take a break, take a breath in, and

Using that accordion analogy again, you can also use that as a way to encourage the flow of your words in a very pleasurable way.

So in singing, we are taught to never punch our words because that creates a very aggressive sound and it's also counterproductive to airflow and allowing your voice to really work for you rather than against you.

So I apply that same logic when speaking.

Speaking now, there are definitely moments when you want to emphasize a word and you do kind of punctuate that word a bit.

certainly at the beginning of a sentence, you want a word to flow off your breath and not stop your breath.

So a good example of that would be, I wouldn't say avocado.

So as I'm breathing out, I kind of throw the avocado on the air rather than using it as a way to stop my airflow.

Another thing you can do to ensure that your voice sounds as attractive as possible, and

you're really enhancing the quality of your natural voice, is to eliminate any of that guttural sound that comes from phlegm and all that nastiness that gathers in the back of your throat.

It's what so many of us experience around allergy season, certainly if we've ever been sick.

And then when you first wake up in the morning, you end up with a kind of low, raspberry, almost kind of sounding voice like this.

And that is never what you want for your voice to sound really good.

So to prevent that, you can quite literally clear your throat.

You just want to make sure that you're never doing that aggressively.

And that's because your vocal cords are super delicate.

I remember when I first started taking voice lessons when I was about 10.

I got a really strong lecture day one on how to treat my vocal cords with care.

Because essentially, they are two muscles that butt up against each other like this, and

when they're functioning properly, they ever so slightly tap.

But when you cough or you clear your voice very aggressively, or you yell and scream, they smack together.

And that repeated smacking causes calluses to build up, which causes permanent damage, and

it can't be undone, and it destroys the sound and quality of your voice forever.

So if you've ever known someone that's screamed a lot in their profession or their life, or maybe they've lived in a really big city and spent a lot of their time kind of yelling over loud noises.

You know it the second you hear it, and that is, unfortunately, permanent damage.

Oh, I don't think I have the strength now.

My personal favorite way to clear my throat from any of that nastiness is to just drink water.

Staying hydrated is so important for not only your entire bodily functions and everything to work the way that it should, but

also for the quality and sound of your voice, because lack of hydration causes our bodies to retain water.

So your fingers will get nice and swollen, your feet will feel swollen, and

And that definitely translates into your vocal cords as well.

And when your vocal cords get swollen and dehydrated, it makes your voice sound really strained, which is not a pleasant sound.

And it's something that's totally preventable.

That's why you'll always see singers drinking water religiously and constantly staying hydrated.

That's for very good reason, because hydration automatically makes your voice sound better.

Now, let's talk about the ideal volume to speak at in order to make your voice sound as attractive and appealing as possible.

And that is going to be slightly below your natural speaking volume.

Many of us have a natural volume that's dictated by who we're talking to, the situation we're in, and

then how shy we are naturally, or how confident we are.
