Vocal Foundations
Your voice carries more than your words. Here is how to actually hear it.
- Record yourself telling a two minute story. Anything: your first day of school, a client pitch, your wedding day. The content does not matter.
- Sleep on it. This distances you from the moment, so you can watch it like anyone else would.
- The next day, watch with the sound off. Notice your body language and facial expression. Do you see the emotion? Do you see the emphasis?
- Turn the phone around and just listen. Before you press play, guess your own score first, then compare. Score yourself on the five foundations below. Be honest.
- Find your biggest gap and start there. One element, not five.
