Through my many years in the voice business, I have learned more from my clients than any book or theory on voice. What has been extremely fascinating is what I have discovered as to why we sound the way we sound. It didn't start out as study, rather it is the years I spent listening to my clients and asking them one specific question, "Do you sound like your mom or your dad?" Just like fingerprints, voices are very individual: no two are exactly alike but they can be very...

So, you have been scheduled, invited, or commanded to speak. It could be the quarterly budget report for your firm. Maybe you are a member of Toastmasters. You could be enrolled in a local public speaking course. Perhaps it is your best friend's wedding. Whatever the reason for your upcoming speech or presentation, what is your reaction to public speaking? Fight? Flight? Freeze? Whatever your reaction, there is no denying the physical changes that result because of the chemicals...

Recently I was talking to a woman on the phone and I was continually asking her to repeat herself. When our business was completed, I told her that because of the way she clipped her words, I had missed much of what she was saying. Admittedly, had I been facing her in conversation, it would have been much easier to understand her; however, on the phone where there is no visual support for speech, much of what she was saying was lost. She was quite interested in my remarks and...

Teachers get it; drill sergeants get it; singers get it; and, politicians get it – just ask Hillary Clinton! Ministers, coaches, trainers, and aerobic instructors get it. Anyone who overuses his/her voice on a daily basis can get it. Rooting for your favorite team can do it as well as yelling at your kids all day. It plagues many people. And, if it is affecting you, you can hear it and you can feel it. It is called vocal abuse and it will not go away on its own unless you...

If there is one thing that cannot happen in public speaking, it is the possibility of delivering a perfect presentation. What would make your words or your manner of speaking perfect? Can you answer that honestly? Your presentation may be great; it may be excellent; it may be the best you have ever done; but, that doesn't make it perfect. Perfection is subjective in this particular venue. In fact, any live performance, be it music, theatre, or even in the sports arena cannot be judged...

When I first started my business many years ago, someone commented that voice training was the icing on the cake. Obviously this woman had missed the basis of my presentation because good voice training is the cake. Everything and anything else is the icing. And, I told her so. I likened this concept to the fact that we don't teach our 2-year-olds to shoot the puck until they can successfully stand up on skates – yes, in Canada and the northern parts of the US, we have our kids on...

Impromptu is an event where the title fully captures the mood of the competition. In mere minutes ideas are organized, processed, and a speech delivered. The preparation for impromptu is also swift. Due to the nature of the event, the Impromptu Speaker has little preparation per say. They do not have to analyze a piece of literature. They do not have to write a multi-paragraph speech to be performed every week. Nor do they memorize lines. Files for citation are not even required! This...

Most leagues offer impromptu speakers several minutes to plan their speech and a note card to write a brief outline. Any good impromptu speaker knows to take advantage of these resources and not waste them by thinking about their topic for thirty seconds and then deliver their speech. But what if you know to use these tools but are unsure of how? Relax and keep reading. 1. Know basic structure. Think of an Impromptu speech as you would an O.O. or any paper you would write for...
