My Top 5 Tips for Speakers

Published on: 19th July, 2024

As promised, this week I’m revisiting my top tips for using your voice, but we’re putting the focus on speakers. Projecting your voice with confidence can be an incredible experience for you and your audience (even an audience of one). But some of the ways your body tries to signal strength and security can actually interfere with the sound you body makes. Let’s talk about how to feel what’s going on in your body, and how to troubleshoot your instinctive responses so you’re not wasting energy fighting your own physicality. LInks to more detail on these tips are available below. 

Michèle Voillequé is a singer and a voice teacher living in Berkeley, California.
