Voice Training: How to Get Rid of a Monotonous Voice to Speak with Passion & Conviction
Monotonous Voice is a common problem. When excited, we use high pitch. Question is what if it is fake.
Problem is not pitch or volume. Key is emotion. You have to emotion for speaking. How you want your audience to feel; feel them a kind of urgency. If you want to have them feel motivated. If you don't sound motivated, they will never get motivated.
To have emotion, think about, what do you want them to feel.
Emphasis; Practice to emphasis on words in daily conversation. It's not one day game.

Voice Training: Develop a Powerful Voice
Inhale; vocal cords stay open
Exhale; vocal cords start vibrating. This vibration of vocal cords creates voice.
Example; if we move paper slowly, there is no voice. When wind blows, paper makes noise. When wind is stronger, noise becomes higher.
Bigger and stronger voice needs more air; well breathing.

Voice Projection: Can people hear you at the back of the room?
Project your voice; it's vibration of your vocal cords. Cavities of our body help us to amplify vibration on vocal cords. Most people are not using cavities of the body. By means of resonance. Learn and develop resonance in all localities; voice will become clear and confident.
3 reasons: Body is tense, not breathing properly, not using all the cavities of the body to help us to amplify the voice.
Start taking deep breath and note where is the movement in the body. Put your hand on stomach; If your stomach moves with breathing, that is proper breathing.
Don't breathe from your diaphragm, breathe with support of your diaphragm.
Exercise: Lay down; put a book on your stomach and observe if it moves up and down. With proper breathing our body gets relaxed.
Make proper breathing your habit.
The voice we create when we have delicious meal; hmmmm

[5 Daily Habits for a Healthy Singing Voice
1. Drink Water (6-8 glasses per day)
2. Throat Stretches
3. Warm-Up Exercises (in a warm shower is great!)
4. Avoid speaking in chest-voice or throat-voice, use light head-voice at all possible times.

Voice Work Is More Than Working on Your Voice
Tension in the body makes you not breathing properly. Tension in the body is a reflection of tension in the mind.
Put your fingers on the nose gently and make noise hmmm, you will feel vibration. When you Put your fingers on the nose firmly and make noise hmmm, you will not feel vibration.
When there is tension in the body, the vibration, your voice will be affected.
First step is relaxing the mind.

[The Yawn and Sigh Approach for Voice Release
How to Project Your Voice with Breath Support
Breath is life force. Voice is vibration. Voice supported with breath is more strong.
Practice sigh often. Breathe out with a sigh.
When you speak, breathe out.
When you cannot finish entire sentence using one breath, pause in between and take a quick breath in, then continue with what you want to say. Don't try to use one breath to finish everything you want to say and the last few words will have no breath support.
Start to observe your daily speaking supported with breath all the time.
Proper breathing is the foundation of life and sound.
