Candy Chan gives a wonderful speech here, one that is filled with humor, powerful personal stories, a strong call to action, and touching, thoughtful slides. I would like to talk about one particular part of her presentation style, namely her voice. You’ll notice she has a lower, resonate voice. Her sound travels effortlessly, and conveys thought and feeling with ease. That is because she is breathing in a relaxed manner from her diaphragm , and focusing on her in-breath rather than her out-breath. There are particular exercises that can be done to help facilitate this organic breathing pattern, and deepen vocal resonance. One is to simply lie on the floor, become aware of your diaphragm (the thick muscle beneath your rib cage), wait a bit in the moment between your in-breath and your out breath, and then give in to the urge to breath. Over time, tension will fall away, and your breathing will become less constrained. A relaxed diaphragm equals a powerful voice.

If you would like to speak with a more resonant voice, call me today to set up a free, in person consultation.
