Could I get some feedback on my voice? のもの

[Guest Jun]

It's not the best, but I recorded it for someone in the chat the other night. I've watched the videos from Candy, Melanie Speaks, AtypicalAshe, etc. and I don't know if I'm.. doing it right? So, I was wondering if you guys had any personal tips and and advice for me based on this recording. And any recommendations of sources would be appreciated too.

Hi Jun,

You sound very good!

Here is how I learned voice:

1) Lightly touch 2 fingers to the area of the adam's apple, and speaking a test sentence in your normal voice range, get a feel for the vibration. The deeper male vibration will be lower in the throat.

2) Keeping your fingers touching the same spot, use the muscles in your throat to pull the larynx back, and up, the repeat the test sentence. You should feel the vibration rise in your throat. Once you get a feel for this, it is easy to shift it up and down. This is the first step in changing the voice (was for me anyway).

3) Practice speaking with the new larynx position a few minutes at a time per day, drink plenty of water. You will be working the muscles in your throat, training them to hold your larynx back, and up. Like working any new muscle group, this will take a bit of time; too much too fast will only hurt the muscles.

4) Once you are comfortable holding the larynx up, it will go up and stay up on it's own. Once you can hold it up for a while, even only five or ten minutes, you can start working the larynx around to find pitch, resonance, intonation.

5) I started using the "Harvard Sentences", as suggested by TS Roadmap, both to practice keeping the voice up for complete sentences, and to work on the pitch and lilt of the voice.

You sound like you are very advanced already, I hope I am able to help

Hugz,

Gina

Hi Jun,

Thank you for the advice! I've been listening to Melanie's audio tracks as help and these things have been mentioned, if that's the way to do them, then I hope I'm doing it right when I practice. I wouldn't want to practice doing something the wrong way, ya know?

I hope you have signed up for the voice seminars mentioned in the banner at the top of the page. They should be helpful. I'm looking forward to giving it a try. If i give a female name on the phone i'm ok or sometimes folks think i'm my wife but unfortunately it is not as consistent as i would like.

Hugs,

Charlie
