Dissatisfaction with our own voice is one of those annoyances that many of us put up with without even trying to fix it. To most, this seems as unlikely as living on Mars or winning the Russian figure skating team in the World Cup. Actually getting your voice to be the way you like it is not that hard. A little free time, a little patience and a lot of this article are enough.

Do you need it?
Surely you have met girls fanatically removing freckles; people with minus seven vision who stubbornly refuse to wear glasses, and men combing the scanty mop of remaining hair on the back of their bald heads. But, you must admit, there are many people who incredibly suit glasses, sparkling bald heads and girls with freckles. Why are we? Before you begin to improve your voice, you need to make sure that this is really necessary. We have compiled two lists of reasons that indicate that something needs to be done about your voice. The first list enumerates external causes, emanating from the surrounding reality. The second is your internal.


External causes
1. The phrase “Repeat, please” from others you hear not much less often than “Hello!” or "How are you?" At the same time, you are absolutely sure that you speak clearly and loudly enough. “Whether a person will perceive what you say depends on the voice by 30–40%,” says Natalya Olenchik. It is probably because of him that people miss your words.

2. Unexpectedly for yourself, you can start or end a phrase in an unnatural voice: either too high or too low. In especially neglected cases, you, like a troll overeating sausage, squeal.

3. From time to time, honest people fall into your hands who say to your face that your voice does not match your appearance (age, social status, the number of hamburgers you can eat at a time) or is simply disgusting.

Local causes

Below are the main characteristics of the voice that are worth working on. Our happiness if this list includes at least one epithet that characterizes the sounds you make, because in this case you will surely read this text to the end! You can mow down from reading only because of illness: in order to appreciate the sound of your own voice, you first need to be healthy (flat feet do not count).

Too high.
Husky.
Nasal.
Trembling.
With hoarseness (rarely slipping "signature" hoarseness is not considered).
With shortness of breath.
Tense (strained, sharp - as you like).
