The more people project their voice at me, smile give me fake gestures that they wouldn't normally do makes me despise them. People need to look deeper than a fucking voice. It just a voice it does not show intelligence it does not show confidence. It just shows you're an idiot who buys gimmicks. I know some of the worst speaking people and they are highly intelligent and some barely speak at all because their mind is focused around the work. Look through history Albert Einstein didn't even speak for a long time till something was out of place. Stop trying to sell bullshit. Learn to accept people for who they are. If they are naturally someone who speaks loudly than they will. If they're naturally someone who has a soft voice that doesn't project well it simply means just that. Has nothing to do with confidence. There is something to be said about those who just want to live some superficial act.

Speaking clearly, slowly, and projecting well is the key to being understood. As for adverbs, adjectives, nouns, pronouns, etc being used in the correct place and correct use of written pronunciation ie. "its" and "it's"? The new generation growing up doesn't care about that any longer, so long as the person listening or reading understands the point you are trying to put across. Another point is to breathe deeply. Many people shallow breath and talk from the back of their throat. This is often referred to as being mono tone or nasal, usually the later. Block your nose with your fingers and say the vowels, A E I O U. (When saying the vowels the tip of your tongue should be tucked in behind and touching your lower teeth). If it sounds as though you are talking through your nose then you have a nasal problem. This is often caused by being lazy in your speech, not necessarily a medical problem. Sounds that begin with M and N should have a slight nasal sound to them. Another tip for good speech is when you are pronouncing a word ending with "ng", say running for example, make sure the back of your tongue touches the soft palate (roof) of your mouth. Some tremendous ideas in your column.Keep up the good work. Good article, takes me back to my radio days. Speaking clearly, slowly, and projecting well is the key to being understood.

I've always had a sort of higher pitched feminine voice, with a slight southern accent. Now it doesn't sound like a girl's voice, it just doesn't sound very masculine at all. I can't stand to hear recorded messages I've left, so I can see why so many people poorly recieve me in person. I'm a really nice guy, maybe too nice, but most folks probably assume I'm gay due to the sound of my voice. I'm rather nice looking and have been working on my posture and toned up my body considerably. I dress very conservative, short hair, not flamboyant at all in apperance. I just have this terrible, sligthly high pitched, feminine voice and it's very hard to be confident or think confident when you don't believe it yourself. I've tried everything from smoking to vocal excercises to lower my tone, but it's so unnatural that I can't keep it up for long. I can do a slightly deeper "phone" voice when I focus on breathing and speaking from the belly but it requires so much effort that I often tire of it in mid conversation and revert to my normal voice which probably really creeps people out :). I wish I could find a personal vocal coach to help me speak more masculine but folks don't seem to advertise this service. Any other tips on what I could do get that deeper tone and more masculine voice without putting on a total act? Hi Alex, I’m a 40 year old straight married man.
