Tonality Training: Handsome Vocal First Impression
ATTN: Content creators, podcasters, and speakers:
If the task at hand requires using your voice, dialing in the details to match your voice to your message will pay off handsomely.
What does a handsome vocal first impression do?
Hooks a viewer/listener in immediately...
Creates trust and builds authority...
Keeps them watching through the vid and coming back for more...
Elite performers of all disciplines have a method for getting into the zone. Using your voice is your thing... is your warming up preparing you for the task at hand, or just wasting time?
There's 4 things tangible things you dial in to not just understood, but sound fucking GOOD.
- articulation - the muscular coordination used to make sounds that form words;
- resonance - the sympathetic vibrations created when the vocal tract makes an optimal shape for your unique voice, responsible for effortless power, color, and audibility
- phonation - the act of bringing the vocal folds together;
- breath pressure - the engine that powers the whole thing
This warm-up will train exactly those 4 things.
So when it's time to speak, you'll be ready to go.
