Kate's Voice

This week, look at the list you created of things you like about your voice.  Write one of these at the top of each page for the next five pages in your journal.  Study that aspect of your voice for one full day.  Consider how that strength affects others.  What does it say about you separate from your words?  How can you use that strength more effectively to present the vocal image you want?

My observations:

I have often been told that I sound friendly when I talk.  I use a lot of variety of pitch in my voice, influenced greatly by my training as a singer.  My challenge has been to add in the more commanding vocal sound that is created by using LESS variety of pitch.  The most influential communicators use both appropriately.  Conscious choices again.  For more information on cadence in the voice, please see my post in December, or refer to my book on page 97.
