1
Analyze your current speaking voice. Record yourself speaking or ask a friend
to listen and evaluate your speaking voice. Assess your volume, pitch,
articulation, vocal quality and rate to determine the main areas where you
need improvement.[1]
Is your volume too high or too low?
Is your pitch more shrill or full, monotonous or varied?
Is your vocal quality more nasal or full, breathy or clear, lifeless or
enthusiastic?
Is your articulation hard to understand or crisp and articulated?
Do you speak too slow or too quickly? Do you sound hesitant or deliberate?
2
Adjust the volume of your voice. You should always speak loudly enough so
that everyone in the room can hear you. However, adjusting the volume of
your voice up or down can add emphasis or intimacy to different parts of your
speech.
Get louder as you are about to make an important point.
Lower your voice when you are making an aside.
3
Use pitch to your advantage. People might tune out your voice if it sounds
monotonous. Varying your pitch will eliminate a monotonous sound and make
it more likely that they will keep listening to you. Continue to vary your pitch
throughout your speech. Some common ways to use pitch include:
Ending questions on a higher pitch.
Affirming a statement by ending on a lower pitch.

4
Change your tempo. The tempo is the pace of your speech. Slowing the tempo
of your speech will help you to place more emphasis on certain words and
phrases. It may also make it easier for people to understand you if you are
prone to speaking rapidly.
Try pausing after making an important point to give the listener a chance to
absorb it.
5
Show your emotions when appropriate. Have you ever heard someone’s voice
quiver when they are experiencing strong emotions during a speech? This
can be an effective technique in some situations, such as when you are giving
a speech or acting in a play. Allow the timber, or emotional quality of your
voice, to show when you are expressing strong feelings.
For example, if you are saying something that makes you feel sad, then you
might allow your voice to tremble if it comes naturally. However, do not try
to force it.
6
Practice your speech. Before you get in front of an audience to present your
speech, practice it alone and uninhibited. Experiment with variations in tone,
pace, volume and pitch. Record yourself and listen for what is working and not
working.[2]
Practice the speech several times with different variations. Record each
attempt and compare them.
Many people are uncomfortable hearing themselves on tape. This sounds
different that the voice that resonates in your head, but is closer to the voice
other people hear.
7
Drink plenty of water. When you are speaking for long stretches of time or at
a high volume, it is important to keep your throat and vocal cords lubricated.
Avoid beverages that can dehydrate you, such as coffee, soda and
alcohol.[3] Drink water instead.
In addition, you can add some honey or apple cider vinegar to your glass of
water to help clear up your throat.[4]
