Voice Tips

What happens to your voice when you get nervous?

????️ It sounds unstable
????️ It shakes
????️ You speed up

But as the nerves subside, and you settle into the rhythm of your speech, then your voice also settles. It becomes grounded and your pacing slows.

Well, it’s a bit like riding a camel.

As it stands up, you feel like you might fall. You are jolted backwards and forwards as it finds its balance in the sand. It moves off with speed, gathering momentum before slowing to a gentle walk.

Nerves are a natural phenomenon but much like a camel ride, the beginning flurry of activity will soon settle into a steady, calm pace.

What one thing do you do to calm your nerves before a speaking event.
