How to develop a commanding voice. What is a staged voice? Why does your voice matter so much?

As you know, the power of the voice serves as an excellent help for those who earn their living by using their voice in their work. However, strength and confidence in the voice can serve well not only people, so to speak, creative, but also completely ordinary people engaged in ordinary mundane affairs, developing their own business, advancing in their career, and simply those who are used to and love interacting with other people .

It's no secret that through proper placement of accents in the voice, setting stress and other similar manipulations, you can achieve a truly amazing effect, for example, to provide what is necessary during negotiations, create a first-class impression of yourself, or influence a person so that he does what you need.

How to make your voice stronger?

Firstly, it should be said that the method of increasing voice strength consists of three important components:

  • The first and most important thing is to train the parts of the body that take part in the process of voice formation: vocal cords, muscles of the larynx, chest, etc.
  • The second component can be called the work of training competent and correct pronunciation the most powerful sounds found in human speech
  • And the third factor is adherence to a special diet, i.e. eating certain foods

Let's look at each of these points in more detail.

Muscle training to strengthen your voice

Exercise No. 1

You need to go to the mirror, open your mouth wide and try to see your larynx and tonsils. If you try to tense your throat or say something, you will see that the throat muscles go into a tense state and then relax again. Try to feel these muscles. This does not require large quantities time.

As soon as this result is achieved, begin to purposefully tense and relax the muscles of the larynx. Try to do this procedure without exerting much effort and controlling the pace of contraction.

After a certain amount of training, you will be able to perform these exercises without using a mirror, because you will already have acquired the skill of controlling the tension in your throat.

Exercise No. 2

In the same way, it is necessary to train other components of the voice-forming system. These include resonators that control the sounds you speak. These resonators are sources of sound and there are three types - chest, throat and nasal resonators.

Approach resonator training like this: stand in front of the mirror again and start making long sounds “i”, “e”, “a”, “o”, “u”, trying to change their sound. Try changing the tone from low to high and vice versa.

Keep in mind that the presented sequence of sounds was not chosen randomly, because each of them affects the body in a certain way: the sound “i” improves blood circulation, the sound “e” activates the muscles of the throat and neck, the sound “a” has a positive effect on the chest area, the sound “o” increases blood supply to the middle, and the sound “u” makes the voice deeper and lower.

We should not forget about several important components of the second exercise:

  • When pronouncing the most powerful sounds, the facial muscles must be relaxed as much as possible, because this makes voice control much easier;
  • Breathing must be correct, i.e. measured and even. Constricted and erratic breathing will prevent your voice from being strong and firm. In addition, when you inhale through your nose, you activate the nasal resonator;
  • You need to control your posture - a straight and even position of the spine affects the timbre and quality of your voice. Strive to ensure that your spine is not tight and that you feel comfortable when you stand or walk - it will be much easier to develop the correct pronunciation.

In conclusion of this section, it can be noted that it is not only individual muscles that need to be trained, but the entire body in general. Only in this case can you achieve a good result in voice production.

Training the correct pronunciation of sounds

Training the correct pronunciation of sounds also involves performing a number of exercises.

Exercise No. 1

First, you should start mastering the sound “r”. To work on the sound “r”, it is recommended to do the exercise in three stages:

  • At the first stage, we pronounce “r” very quietly
  • At the second stage, we pronounce “r” with medium volume
  • At the third stage, we pronounce “r” as loudly as possible

Try to make the sound you pronounce as correct, sonorous and clear as possible - this will allow you to make your voice stronger by adding a somewhat “metallic” sound to it.

But before practicing the sweeping pronunciation of the sound “r”, you need to prepare the muscles for work using the methods that we discussed above, as well as by pulling the tip of the tongue towards the upper palate in the area of ​​​​the upper teeth. Having given your tongue this position, pronounce any words where the letter “r” is present, or make a loud growl, imagining yourself, for example, as a ferocious tiger.

Exercise No. 2

The second exercise is quite original methodology to increase the power of the voice through unusual behavior. It sounds a little unusual, but you should start acting like Tarzan from the famous movie.

To do this, stand up straight, clench your hands tightly into fists and begin to pronounce in turn all those sounds that we talked about earlier, or some others.

But remember that you need to pronounce sounds as loudly as possible and while exhaling, and with your hands you should beat yourself in the chest from time to time, imitating the behavior of the above-mentioned hero. If you don’t associate Tarzan with this image, you can imagine yourself as a gorilla - then you’ll definitely succeed.

The "Tarzan" or "monkey" exercise will not only help you strengthen your voice, but will also clear out debris, mucus and moisture from your diaphragm. So, don't be surprised. And after you clear your throat, be “Tarzan” a little longer to consolidate the result.

It is also interesting that voice training experts advise doing this exercise in the morning, indicating that it will benefit the body as a whole. And given that, this can bring you double results.

Diet to strengthen your voice

In addition to what can be found today that has a beneficial effect on physical and even mental health, there is also a special diet that has a targeted effect on the strength of the voice. But if you thought that now you will need to radically change your diet, then we hasten to reassure you: you won’t have to change much.

Today it is known for certain that egg yolk, if consumed raw, has an excellent effect on the surface of the vocal cords and throat, making them softer and more elastic. For this reason, nutritionists for professional artists insist that you must eat one raw egg every morning.

Besides eggs, there are other foods that can help strengthen your voice. First of all, speaking about such products, we need to talk about milk - it, like eggs, makes the vocal cords elastic and soft. But milk should not be consumed cold, but not hot either. It should be warm, i.e. its temperature should be lower than the temperature of the milk that many of us drink for colds, otherwise you will simply burn your ligaments.

If you don’t like milk or, God forbid, you are allergic to it, you can replace this product with sweet warm tea. It is no coincidence that sugar is mentioned here, because it contains glucose, which also affects the elasticity of ligaments.

That's all, actually. Do the exercises we presented at least once a day, and within a week your voice will become stronger and more velvety. And having introduced these exercises into the system, after a while you will no longer remember that your voice was once weak, because... the body adapts and gets used to new stress.

Not all people know that you can create your own voice and do not need to sign up for special classes.

But first you need to understand the most important and basic things.

You should feel all the vibrations in your body when you say something.

Why this is so important - the punch analogy

Let's give an analogy with a boxing fist blow.

  • When the right blow is thrown, the whole body is invested in it. It's not just one fist pumping.
    The body, when struck correctly, is not static and is also invested in it, and only then the blow becomes 10 times stronger and more dangerous for the enemy.
  • If you don't use your body's strength When you hit with your fist and you don’t put any effort into it, it won’t be a blow, but just a movement with one hand.

You should apply the same thing in conversation.

You must include your whole body in expressing yourself.

Take a deep breath and then speak, otherwise no one will hear you.

2. Use the right key

There are 3 types of tones:

  1. seeking/needing;
  2. normal;
  3. torn.

Seeking or needing tonality (1)

Also on the street, beggars approach people on the street and ask for money. It's a seeker trying to please rapport.

For example:

  • Can you tell me the time?
  • Would you like to eat some delicious pizza with me?
  • My computer is broken, please fix it.

This is unattractive and disgusting.

Normal key (2)

When you talk to a person completely neutrally, without any special emotions.

For example:

  • We're doing well today.
  • I had a good time in the park.
  • Dad bought a new car.

Torn rapport (3)

From the outside, in terms of presentation, this tone looks as if you don’t want anything from this person and as if you don’t really want to talk to him.

With this tone, you don’t try to impress your interlocutor, you try less and stress less.

This tone will be useful for men to lead with women.

Examples of 3 keys:

  • In general, we had a great time the day before yesterday.
  • Great T-shirt you have.
  • We are now going to our favorite place by the river.

To be centered and in a permanent state when communicating, you need to speak with most people in a torn to normal tone. If most of the time your voice is between ragged and normal tonality, and you also diversify it sometimes with seeking rapport, then your voice will be cheeky and funny at the same time. It will be fun and varied at the same time.

Therefore, use all three types of tonality skillfully, and then you will know everything about how to deliver speech and voice. You will have a charming and unique tonality.

Remember that confidence plays a key role in communication. self confidence for girls you can read the link on our website.

3. Get rid of excess mucus in your mouth first thing in the morning.

In the morning, everyone has this mucus and saliva in their mouth, which needs to be gotten rid of. They don't allow your voice to open up.

Due to mucus in the mouth, people often speak through their nose, as if they were dubbing pirated films. All voice and speech exercises are performed much easier and more productive if there is no excess mucus in the oral cavity.

To get rid of mucus in your mouth as soon as you wake up clean your tongue with toothpaste and a brush first thing in the morning!

That is, when you go to brush your teeth, you also brush your tongue.

Thus, all excess mucus comes out of the mouth. Cough up. You will know when enough is enough.

The procedure is not so pleasant, but very useful. Takes approximately 3 – 4 minutes.

4. Warm up and stretch vowel sounds starting from high notes to low notes

Otherwise, there will be internal resistance and the voice will not be congruent. ABOUT congruence we tell you in detail.

If you don't warm up, then everything you say and do will degrade and degrade your communication and expression.

To avoid worrying about how to develop a beautiful voice timbre, use this useful exercise.

Say these sounds in the same order, in which they are indicated:

When performing a vocal exercise for the voice with these sounds from “I” to “U”, you go on a scale from high notes to low notes.

Walk through these sounds 2 times. You start with a high “I” sound and end with a low “U” sound.

It relaxes and opens your throat.

All our exercises will help those who will subsequently express themselves openly and will not be ashamed of their voice.

We have a complete article on our website about how to stop being shy about people. It can be found.

5. Moo

Mooing means making the “M” sound. This is a well-known singing exercise and must be done correctly.

When mooing correctly, your lips should itch.

If the inside of your throat itches, then you need to raise your neck higher.

Errors:

  1. Don't take in too much air.
  2. No need to moo like a cow. This is not at all effective and will not help development in any way.
  3. When mooing and raising a voice, men or women may experience pain in the throat. Stop immediately if these symptoms begin.
  4. During this exercise, do not try to hit any high notes. That is, hum at a neutral volume that does not bother you in any way.
  5. There is no need to strain your facial muscles or jaw. Everything is in a calm, relaxed position, the same as when pronouncing the short sound “M”.

6. Relieve tension in your throat and mouth

Execution order:

You begin to tense your mouth, throat and neck a little, and thereby you exercise and expand the capabilities of your voice when communicating.

  • Tension is released and released from your neck, throat and mouth.
  • The voice and throat opens.
  • You begin to speak clearer and more clearly.
  • You begin to breathe deeper.
  • The capabilities of the language when speaking begin to be used more.

7. Good neck stretch

The exercise will be especially useful for those who spend a lot of time at the computer and want to know everything about how to develop their voice on their own.

In people with sedentary work, the neck and head are often compressed into an uncomfortable position, the chin is kept too low.

How to perform:

  1. Place your tongue on the upper teeth in the middle.
  2. Then raise your head and gently stretch your neck, slightly tilting it up, left, right, and forward.
  3. It's similar to how you stretch your muscles before you start lifting in the gym.

Pros of Stretching neck is that you begin to project your voice better, especially in noisy places.

This exercise is a bit like simulating a car engine. With it you will be able to put your voice correctly, especially when there is a visual video lesson below.

It doesn't matter how it looks from the outside. The main thing is that it is effective.

The meaning of this is that:

  1. You relax your lips and imitate that trill sound.
  2. The vibration of the lips due to the exhalation of air makes them more mobile.
  3. At the same time, you can make smooth movements with your neck, making it more relaxed. But this is optional.

It's like when little boys played with cars in the sandbox when they were kids.

11. Repeat tongue twisters 10 times

The point is that the muscles of the mouth expand and it becomes easier to communicate.

The effect of the exercise will be twice as great, if you repeat the tongue twister with your mouth closed. We talked about this above in the 10th method.

There are a lot of different tongue twisters. For example:

  • “Sashka has cones and checkers in his pocket”;
  • “Mother gave Romasha whey from the yogurt.”

Choose 2 - 3 of your favorites and start repeating each one 10 times. This last method will answer all your questions about how to improve your voice and diction.

Not only a person’s professional, but also social well-being largely depends on a well-trained voice, on clear and correct speech. Most people evaluate a well-produced voice as a leader and give preference to it.

Among the St. Petersburg businessmen who worked on their voice, - CEO network "Bookvoed" Denis Kotov, author of the game DoZoR Ales Zhuk, creator of the School of Business Yuri Moroz, writes the Next application of the newspaper "Business Petersburg".

Until recently, experts believed that the characteristics of sound depended mainly on the vibrations of the vocal cords, the state of the larynx and the production of the voice. But physiologists from the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia have established that the voice's announcer capabilities, its pitch and timbre are influenced by the volume of the lungs and the patency of the trachea.

Participants in the experiment conducted by physiologists did not master the art of proper breathing. Using special instruments, they determined the vital capacity of the lungs, the patency of the tracheobronchial tree, the frequency characteristics of the voice, the maximum time during which they are able to produce certain vowel sounds, and some other parameters. As experiments by Moscow scientists have shown, the voice spectrum depends on the volume of the lungs, that is, on the volume of air that a person can exhale, and on the total patency of the trachea and bronchi. The higher these indicators, the more fundamental tone is contained in the overall spectrum. And the share of high frequencies, which give the voice pleasantness and expressiveness, is naturally smaller. According to the researchers, it is the assessment of the patency of the trachea and bronchi that will make it possible to determine the possibility of voice training for both vocational training, and, if desired, learn to redistribute the frequency spectrum of the voice, achieving increased expressiveness of speech.

By the way, as for high frequencies, for example, Margaret Thatcher, on the contrary, she specially trained to lower her voice, which gave her speech greater authoritarianism. Research by English sociologist Anna Karpf shows that between 1945 and 1993, the frequency of voice vibrations of 18-25 year old women decreased by an average of 23 hertz. A deep voice is traditionally associated with strength, self-confidence, sexuality and the ability to persuade other people. Interestingly, successful women politicians have lower votes on average than others. The sociologist notes that consultants to businesswomen, as a rule, work to make the timbre lower, “chest.”

To help those who want to become bosses Several years ago, a special voice processing system was developed at Tokyo's Hosei University with the assistance of a so-called genetic algorithm. The algorithm analyzes speech patterns of a person uttering certain phrases and determines how it needs to be transformed to obtain the desired effect - calm, masculine or cheerful. To do this, a sequence of so-called voice chromosomes is created, representing ways of possible modification of the voice. In this way, the system's developer, Yuji Sato, turns expressionless bleats into clear, rich, and indisputable speech. It’s a pity that the voice processing system cannot yet work in real time, but research is moving in this direction. And the existing version of the system can provide invaluable services when recording TV shows, as well as for “revitalizing” computer games, says the developer.

There is a whole set of exercises to develop if not a commanding voice, then clear and expressive speech. One of the most effective: read some text loudly for 5–10 minutes a day, but without consonant sounds. So, the phrase “Five exercises to love your voice” will sound like “I-u-a-e-i-o-y-o-yu-i-o-o-o.” Consonants act as a springboard, causing vowel sounds to vibrate. Re-read the same passage of text, this time marking the consonants. The voice will gain intensity of vibration and sound, while you will not get tired, and you will be understood better.

In the section on the question How to develop a commanding voice? Are there any methods or techniques??? given by the author Caucasian the best answer is there is probably one of the public people whose way of behaving and speaking you like...
take a closer look)))
and also - you can attend a military parade...
that's where they command, that's how they command)))
Not only a person’s professional, but also social well-being largely depends on a well-trained voice, on clear and correct speech. Most people evaluate a well-produced voice as a leader and give preference to it.

Yogis have developed a form of breathing specifically for the development of the voice. They are generally known for their amazing voices, which are always strong, clear and sonorous and have a remarkable ability to be heard over vast distances. Yogis practice a special form of breathing exercises that makes their voices soft, deep and has the amazing ability to reach much further than their voices.
an ordinary person, without at the same time becoming rude or harsh.
The exercise described below will, over time, give a person's voice these properties, or, in short, will give him the voice of yogis. It is necessary to understand, of course, that this form of breathing is used only as an additional exercise in certain cases and that it cannot be considered as a regular form of breathing.
1. Inhale a full breath very slowly but forcefully through the nostrils, trying to inhale as long as possible.
2. Hold your breath for a few seconds.
3. Exhale very forcefully in one breath through a wide open mouth.
4. Calm your lungs with cleansing breathing.
Here's an interesting experiment to try: stand in front of a mirror and make a whistle with your mouth and whistle. Notice the shape of your mouth and the overall expression of your face. Then, try singing or speaking as you naturally do and notice the difference; then start whistling again for a few seconds and then, without changing the position of your mouth or face, sing a few notes and notice what vibrating sounds and strong tone you get.

For clarity, we will call a commanding voice the authoritative and confident manner of speaking characteristic of real leaders. Each of us at least once in our lives experienced complete trust and a desire to obey a person at the mere sounds of his voice. This is not at all the same as simply yelling at a subordinate, scaring him and thus achieving what you want. In contrast, a leader's voice typically combines disarming warmth and politeness with a tone that is open to argument. You want to obey such a voice - that’s what it’s about main secret and the strongest point. Anyone can develop a commanding voice, but it will take some effort.

What is command voice and who needs it?

A commanding voice is almost always the result of targeted and persistent training of the speech apparatus and vocal cords, expanding the range of the voice, as well as intonation flexibility of speech. If such a voice is developed on its own, it is only in those people who, due to their occupational duties, speak a lot in a commanding tone. Examples are widespread among senior military officers, but junior officers often demonstrate a complete inability to command using vocal techniques. Due to their inexperience, they even try to copy the manner of senior officers, but they still scream and often break their ligaments.

Perhaps there is no area of ​​life or occupation where an authoritative and confident timbre would not be beneficial and useful. Developing a team voice will be useful for:

  • parents - you won’t have to yell at your children anymore, because you will learn to achieve obedience with one tone of voice;
  • school teachers, university professors and educators in general - it is the teacher’s voice and his manner of speaking that determines how carefully the students listen to him;
  • managers - everyone who has any people subordinate to them, be it lower-level managers, sales agents, waiters or a team of loaders, must have authority in the eyes of these people and be able to manage them;
  • insecure people - in order to change the attitude of others towards themselves, it is recommended to use a commanding voice, because it is a weak timbre that most often betrays excitement, confusion, confusion and lack of self-confidence.

Exercises

Human voice capabilities are just one of the physical characteristics, which can be developed like everyone else. Timbre can and should be developed in the right direction by combining exercises to develop a commanding voice with exercises to develop diction and expressiveness of speech. As a result, you will no longer speak as you please, but you will become the full master of your voice and will be able to control it as you wish.

#1

You stand straight, your back is straight, your posture is beautiful - this is the starting position.

#2

Take a few deep breaths in and out. If you want to yawn, yawn as hard as you can - this is an excellent articulation exercise.

#3

Begin to draw out the vowel sound [and], carefully articulating it.

#4

Through increased articulation, smoothly change the sound [i] to the sound [e]. It is followed by the sounds [a], [a] and [u]. The sequence of sounds is not random, do not break it.

#5

Moo a little long on the sound [m] with your mouth closed - first very quietly, then louder and, finally, until there is noticeable tension in the ligaments. When mooing, the sound should vibrate in the abdomen area, find and feel it.

#6

Grow long, loudly and loudly. Monitor the purity of the sound, pay attention to articulation. Play with words containing the sound [r]: rum, hand, growls, stream, etc. The point of the exercise is that articulation of the sound [r] in itself is a good training for vocal strength and accurate diction.
