How to improve your voice and speech

I have received many compliments about my voice many people want to know how to become a better speaker or how to have a more attractive voice and the way you speak and I'm going to give you the Insight that helped me achieve that so first and foremost you want to study great speakers study the people who inspire you to have a better voice notice what they do so for example um one of my favorite speakers of all time is Prince also the one who inspired me most when it comes to music um but the way he speaks is very slow it has a nice Rhythm to it it's from a very deep and calm place I guess you could say and whenever he speaks people would just listen you never really seen Prince get cut off in an interview and it was always quiet like you could hear a pin drop but what I noticed is that he didn't rush what he was saying he thought about everything he was saying and it made the way he speak more attractive to people so I study that and I also noticed that people who speak very well know how to tell stories very well and I'll get into that so first step first tip slow down okay slow down you don't have to talk fast like this because it's not really attractive maybe some people talk fast they sound smart whatever but slow down speak very clearly so that people can understand what you're saying right I was watching a YouTube video the other day this dude was explaining something about a car and he was like the exhaust is so great and it's so so B I'm like what are you saying okay so you want to speak slowly slower than not I'm not going to say slower than usual you may already speak slow but speak slow in a way that you can communicate very clearly and pronounce your words properly okay so you want to get that good Rhythm you want to know when to speed up and you want to know when to slow down this this will these tips will also help you tell stories better so when you're telling a story when you're speaking you can afford to speed up your sentences when you are just browsing over irrelevant details but whenever there's something important that's when you slow down to add emphasis to it right so let's say I'm telling the story because you want whoever is listening to whatever you're speaking about to feel it okay this is also a reason why my videos feel like a conversation so all right now we're talking it's like I remember the first time I met my ex I go into the house right for the first time nice little Vibe so I go there and I'm laying on the bed we listening the music she had a pretty good playlist but all of a sudden she starts walking to the edge of the room and she standing in the corner and I'm you know I'm kind of looking over there like what are you doing but I didn't say nothing so I see she lifted his blanket over this box right she lifted it up from Over the box and she reached down I'm wondering like my mind has no idea what she's doing right so I'm just sitting there chilling I I pick up my phone look at the time and then I see her walking towards me out of the corner of my eyes and when I look up this girl was holding a snake now me I'm not a very scary person but I don't do snakes me and snakes have never been friends she brought the snake close to me and I swear I kid you not I jump up on a bed and I'm up on the wall like Spider-Man and she was like if you're going to come around then you're going to have to be his friend like that ain't my damn friend I don't do snakes right so I come calm down like look look look look this is what's going to happen okay I'm afraid of snakes but I'm going through a time in my life where I am going to face everything that I'm afraid of okay so what I need you to do is back away okay and I'm going to slowly warm up to this snake day by day all right now I'm going need you to put that up cuz I'm scared as hell you know what I'm saying quick little story there's an intro there's the meat of it and we resolve it we clean it up right it's spoken very efficiently it was very easy to understand I emphasize the things that need to be emphasized by slowing down the small little details we just skip right over those things right so to become a better speaker you want to slow down you want to have a nice Rhythm and a right a nice Cadence to the way you speak um you don't want to speak too high pitch like for instance I catch myself doing it sometimes today too I mean sometimes these days but you want to finish the end of your sentences at a lower and more quiet tone so what's more attractive to you hey how are you doing or hey how are you doing right especially especially if you're talking to a lady right it's like hey what's your name hey what's your name or hey what's your name like it's it just don't hit like that I you know what I'm saying you got to think of it like you speaking like an ocean hey what's your name hey what's your name hey what's your name I would love to meet you you know what I'm saying it's just about the flow you got to become water my friend you put water into a cup it becomes the cup be water my friend it's all all about flow it's all about timing it's all about pacing and tone right because because when you speed up and talk your voice gets higher pitch when you slow down it gets lower so if that concept didn't really make sense to you hey how are you doing you get what I'm saying or hey how you doing it's going to get higher this is my natural voice the way you find your natural voice just get very relaxed clear your throat make sure that thing is hydrated breathe down into your diaphragm right so that mean when you breathe in your stomach should come out and then just sigh you hear that you hear that you hear that that is my natural voice mix in a little raspiness every now and then you know what I'm saying a nice little Cadence a nice little rhythm da da da da da da da da da da how are you doing it is nice to meet you you know what I mean it just mixes for a beautiful thing and I Am Not Gon to lie to you I'm I'm going to share this with y'all because it's actually insane but I used to hate my voice until this one girl told me that my voice it did something to her um it made her feel some type of way let's put it like that it made her arouse cuz we was on the phone we was laying down like yo you know and she was like oh my God why is why is why is uh you know my little friend getting uh and I was like huh she was like yeah the way you're talking it's um secreting fluids throughout my body and I'm like thanks so um yeah that made me realize that I had superpowers and I could make people feel things by the way I spoke so ever since then I just spoke more but another point we can get on is when you're speaking make sure you know what you're speaking about that's how you become a better Communicator know what you're speaking about because only so long you can Ramble On and Bs around the point so know what you're speaking about be able to communicate better by knowing what you're speaking about and saying what you actually want to say like I could tell you um I play guitar or I could say yeah when I was little I had a guitar and then I broke it and then I did this and then I broke it and then I bought one and then you know what I mean just simply say I play guitar know when to say things know when not to say things you know sentences that you could I mean paragraphs that you have in your mind could be resolved in three sentences you know what I mean so just know when to talk know when not to talk only talk about things you know a lot of people wonder why I speak so efficiently on these videos and that's because I don't have to research things I don't have to memorize a certain script or anything because I'm speaking from the heart I'm speaking about things that I know about I'm speaking about experiences that I've either analyzed or experienced so I know what I'm talking about I'm not just up here like yeah want to speak better do a little this a little that and then um you know I don't have to do that because it's all here you know you remember how when somebody asks you about something you like let's say your favorite game right your favorite song your favorite artist your favorite car when somebody asks you about it it's like you tap into that mode boom it's like hey you tell me about that blah blah blah that you like and you're like oh well um you know this was designed in 2003 and then in 2010 they made a refresh and then when this dropped over 4,000 people bought it and it's like whoo oh buddy who are you you know too much right because you know what you're speaking about you don't have to BS you communicate very clearly your points are efficient you have a intro you have the meat of the the passage and then you resolve it I'm telling you when you look at life from different perspectives and notice how all these things make sense and how all these things are connected you can increase your skills in many different you know Paths of life it's just what it is so one way you can practice this to build up your courage to build up your speaking especially if you stutter and things like that is to record yourself talking every day why do you think I record these videos no cuts and all these things yes I want them to be genuine yes I speak in a in a um efficient way to where I don't have to research this and make a cut and research this and make a cut because I don't really make that many mistakes but I am human and y'all see my mistakes y'all see when I stutter y'all see when I Stumble over these words but bottom line it is practice for me to speak better to speak more clearly to speak more efficiently because when I do mess up when my Southern accent does come out and I say ask instead of ask y'all notice so you know things like that it just helps you see what you're uh you know what you're doing how you speak and you should do that so every day few minutes um record yourself talk about your day so let's say today I pop up the camera yo what's going on today I had a pretty good day I got up this morning I um I made my bed I made a little breakfast I made something light I don't really like eating too much in the morning and I head out the house with a bottle of water and a granola bar so I had to go to work today I had a I only had a 4-Hour shift today so it wasn't too bad and then when I got home I had to do a little bit of homework and the only homework I had was from science and history class and um you know I had a little bit for music too but I actually enjoy the music you know what I mean so that was pretty cool and then oh my my grandma made my favorite cake today too so I was pretty excited about that and tomorrow I'm excited to go hiking uh haven't been in a while kind of been cooped up in the house so I'm very excited to go hiking tomorrow actually I might go by myself I had a few friends that wanted to go but they kind of Cel plans and then you know you know it is what it is but I think I really might go by myself I think I'll really enjoy that and that's it for today I'm about to get in take a shower probably get a little snack or something to eat before I lay down you know brush my teeth wash my face and then lay down and go to sleep and get ready for tomorrow so I'll see you tomorrow every day we get better at speaking thank you see what I'm saying you see what I'm saying I'm I promise you if you do that every day if you get over the ook of hearing your voice cuz I used to hate my voice trust and believe I'm talking about like I would record YouTube videos and edit them in silent because I hated my voice when I hear my voice when people watch videos of mine I'm like is that mine do I own that you know what I mean so you just got to practice at whatever it is in life have a reference have something to shoot for because if you have no target you don't know what you're shooting for find your natural voice find a sweet malotic and sexy tone and speak from it you know what I mean and um you know watch like I said watch other speakers enrich your mind read books watch movies and things like that and see what little tips and tricks you can pick up on and um never be never be afraid of not speaking like for instance let's say I'm I'm having a conversation they're like Shaman so what made you love music what made me love music nine times out of 10 you probably answer a question like you don't know that you don't know the answer to it but you're freaking out like what made me um you know music um see what what I really like about music like you don't have to do that like I said hello Shaman so what made you like music what made me like music so I remember when I when I was younger me and my brothers and my cousin we used to get popped in the head at church all the time get flick behind the ear because we used to laugh and joke all the time for no reason on the front row at church right just acting a clown but I found it very very difficult to clown to laugh when this one particular lady was seen it was honestly like an angel and it was like every everything in church at that time was synchronized perfectly drums on point guitar If We Had It On Point organ Heavenly right but above all it was this one lady that would sing these songs and I'm telling you that it was it would give I'm getting chills right now thinking about it but just just the way she sung the conviction she sung and the words would Pierce you and I'm just like man what is that it's the language of our souls music and then when you think about the philosophy of music and you feel the relation of music that you have you understand that music is the language in which we all can speak me 8-year-old kid singing a song in fren but I don't know French right but their Rhythm and the way it sounds or maybe the Opera the slow and flowy way that Opera just pierces the soul Italian opera it's just beautiful it can make you feel good it can make you feel sad it's all about vibrations but music is something that can be made with your body with your mouth you can speak you can [Music] sing it's just our speech man the speech of the universe the language of the universe that's why I love music right think about what you're going to say don't be afraid to think you know what I mean so my friend you're going to be all right you're going to practice every day you're going to become a better speaker and one last tip okay above all I don't care how well you speak I don't care what you're speaking about especially if you're close to me right if you speak and you have Funk coming out of your mouth have sewage and in there like bad like to the point where your teeth duck when you speak if your breast stinks I don't care what you're talking about because everything sounds like so brush your teeth that's like the third and final right but that's you know that's more so when people are close I don't care if I'm 30 ft away from your breath better not stink you get what I'm saying so work on that haha you know what I mean we don't want none of that hot lava okay but to recap watch people who speak well maybe you're inspired by me watch my videos and see the way I speak look at the Cadence and pay attention to how I emphasize certain things by slowing down how I just skip over little details that don't really matter blah blah blah blah just notice the way I speaking what I'm doing so study slow down speak clearly pronounce your words properly okay now you can practice speaking by recording the videos talking to yourself get over the the it get over the cringe of your own voice it's okay okay grow up we're going to be fine always know what you're talking about because you can only be yes for so long make sure your breath doesn't stink and just keep at it my friend and I guarantee you will be a better speaker I love you it's always nice to talk to you I'll see you soon boom missed
