@Speckie7 Hey Speckie, I do hypnosis training courses; primarily in the Washington DC Area. If you get a big enough group together, I'll fly out to do a training where you are. Send me a message for more details.
when at work or out in public i sometimes feel anxious and really struggle to get that resonance. Do you have any others tips for just keeping your vocals and body able to project that voice when in public etc. thanks, great videos
@jami3r00 If you are anxious then you are creating a constriction in your chest which will not assist in a great voice. I recommend tapping on it with EFT. There is also the "tall poppy" syndrome, where you don't want to stand out because other people might not like you. Mentally it's very important to release those blocks so that you can speak up in public. There's tons of tips I can give on this, but only so many characters for a response :)
It's really simple. Just put your palm flat on your breast bone / 2-3" above the solar plexus, do the "ho ho ho" or another deep reverberating sound, and feel the vibration. Experiment with moving the pitch up and down / altering the air balance and the sound you are making, to get the most vibration. The things I keep in mind when actually speaking are to have the pitch go down and the air passages to open up.
Easy man. Just notice what is happening when you breathe, and where the breath flows. Notice what happens when you adjust your body position and which positions allow you to breathe most deeply.
Another thing is to just reverberate a solid tone for the length of a breath (like an "ohmm" sound) and then make the sound continuously more resonant (have it fill up more of the room w/o increasing volume). Play with increasing/decreasing the pitch in order to find the perfect resonance frequency.
Put your hand over that region of the breastbone and make it vibrate... The goal of the exercise is to go as deep as you can with the "Ho Ho Ho" like Santa Claus, and then maintain it. Try opening up your throat more so that the sound reaches further into your chest. Again, make sure your chin is up. I don't know what "slight" vibrations means, but when you feel any vibration at all, deepen it and make it vibrate more. Open up the air passages so the sound is allowed to reverberate.
Try projecting a super-high note that is outside of your vocal range, and do it until you to notice it's straining your throat. The difference is that in your range you are not talking from the throat, you are letting the sound echo and reverberate. This is the only way you can truly project your voice without strain. Put your hand on your chest and feel the reverberations. Do this all without tilting your chin down - keep your head level and feel the reverberation in the chest.
You aren't actively talking "from" the throat, you are talking from the diaphragm. However, of course the throat is involved. But you aren't putting stress/strain on the throat.
This is very interesting. I have a natural loud voice but it strains the throat area.
This really changed my lecture voice sure it's lower but for the majority of the lecture it is fine and the changes to higher notes are more apparent now and it doesn't strain my voice.
I got to thinking of an idea that might build on the info you gave us here. Maybe you can find a software program that measures sound / voice pitch by talking into a PC Microphone. Once you know the proper pitch then you would use the PC program to show you 'live time' what your current pitch is so that all you need to do is practice it and that way it takes almost all the guess work out.
Hot Stuff, I am doing the exercises now! How long should I keep this up? A few minutes? Or maybe I should stop when I feel the resonance? Thanks for making this. You have a wonderful voice!
I usually do the "O" part only for about 5-10 seconds or so, just enough to know that I've gotten the right note.
For people who are just starting out with voice training then maybe they would do it for a while longer, just to explore the different feelings that are associated with having a resonant voice.
The feedback from the vibration really helps me to know that I'm vibrating / resonating at the right frequency, so I still do the hand on the chest trick ;)
Thank-you, Taylor! This was interesting and informative.
In sales, we refer to this type of strong, deep and resonant voice as a "warm voice". The best tone for communicating, convincing, and gaining trust. Well done.

If I wanted to learn to be a hynotist, where would I go? All I see are on line courses.
who taught you?:)
