Make ur voice sweet and mesmerising

For speakers,aspiring radio jockeys and orators

1. Try to make/develop an imaginary, funny story on ur own. Now repeat this story in front of the mirror until u hear it clearly, precisely and confidently.

2. Practice this voice exercise: Press a pencil or cork between your teeth and read a newspaper loudly. While doing this try to read the words as clearly as possible.

3. Another exercise is to read the English newspaper without the consonants. For instance, the title"Stress can also make you fat" can be read out and heard as "e a aw o ae u a". You are making only the sound of vowels. This exercise will improve the pronunciation and build confidence.

4. Practice making sounds of different characters of cartoon books or comics and read them out before a mirror and then to the kids.

5. To make your speech interesting, or to draw attention of audience back, bring ups and downs in your voice (going on and on in the same, low tone may make the audience bored). Bring excitement, enthusiasm, joy and surprise in your voice to keep the atmosphere healthy.

6. Practice reading out a recipe book before a mirror using your lips and mouth until your voice becomes stable and mesmerising.

Deep breathing will help .........

--before you go to the podium/dias/stage to
speak,
give a presentation,
perform.
--before appearing for an exam, oral test/viva/ interview.
Taking slow, deep breaths for a few seconds/minutes will relax and calm the nervous body & mind. It will bring back your confidence and you will be able to perform really well.
--when you are angry; let go your anger within seconds.
--while waiting outside the loo desperately, when it is occupied.
Try and see for yourself how the technique of deep breathing has helped!
