How to be Ready from the Moment You Start Talking
A common piece of feedback I get from acting and public speaking clients is that they felt just fine a few minutes into the performance or talk, but that the really hard part was the beginning.
This is usually because people often launch themselves into their talk before the body is actually ready. They don’t feel grounded, they haven’t taken a breath or a moment to actually see the audience or connect with the environment. So in those early minutes, the body feels disoriented and is playing catch up, because your body wasn’t really ready to start.
So how can you be sure that you are ready from the moment you start speaking?
The key is- don’t start until you are ready! To be ready, take a moment before you begin to speak to feel your ground, let your breath drop in, and see your audience. Sometimes people skip this part because they are worried it will take too long, but we’re only talking about a matter of seconds here, and it’s not just for you- it’s for the audience too.
The audience needs that moment to connect with you just as much as you need it. It sets up a more positive relationship between you, where they will feel more relaxed and at ease because you are more relaxed and at ease from the get-go.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes. Check out my @voicewhatmatters UA-cam channel for other tips like this one and my podcast for warm ups that help you feel more present in the moment. Here is a particularly relevant episode- a warm up for the moment before you begin speaking. : “Managing Nerves: The Moment Before”

    It is so refreshing to listen to this woman speak clearly. If you want to know how much VF has changed our culture, go back and watch videos of young people talking at shopping malls in the 80's. Not one single female talked like this. This change has happened so gradually that, like the frog in the slowly boiling pot, we weren't aware of it until it just got to be too much. Today, professional news casters will speak with VF. I guess I'm just an old "you kids get off my lawn" guy, but I just can't abide by it. It immediately erodes the authority of the person speaking.

      Bro, don't try this. You're being too eager. Assuming you're a guy, if you're 17 and still high pitch then think about it. But your vocal chords are not done developing yet, and you don't wanna fuck with the way you speak, you'll regret it later. I didn't lose my kid voice until between freshmen and sophomore year of highschool. Grew a bunch too. People barely recognized me when I came back over the summer, and they treated me differently. Sucks but it's true at that age. You just gotta wait it out. Best of luck to you, brother.

    I've had some major trauma and injuries to my face in life, and I notice that it seems that with age and other injuries to my body, it's gotten more and more difficult for me to project my voice. It feels like when I speak too much at a higher level my face ends up having major pain, does this just mean I need to exercise my facial muscles more? or rest them more? or maybe I just won't ever be able to project? I was born with a broken face too...my father said I had two black eyes. So maybe my voice was broken at birth :(

      I'm so sorry to hear that you have had to deal with some major injuries that have affected your voice. This is getting into some medical knowledge that is beyond my expertise. My suggestion would be to ask your doctor to get referred for a vocal scope, so that someone can take a look at your vocal folds, and from there perhaps refer you to a speech language therapist, who would be better placed to work with you on this.

    There are people who do indeed suffer from vocal fry, and for these people I admire the help in this video. That said; there are swaths of people (usually drawn to TikTok and influencing) who purposefully add it to their voices. It's pretty obvious it's a societal pressure they are both believing, and bowing down to in the belief that it makes them sound more exclusive to their viewers. The reality though is that most people aren't buying it, and the only people they are fooling are themselves. These people don't need voice training. What they need is a lengthy hiatus from social media, fashion magazines, television, or any other medium that keeps telling them that they are simply not good enough. They need to go and travel. They need to take up natural hobbies, and spend a lot of time learning how to love themselves again. The human voice can be truly beautiful. Even people who can't sing particularly well will still speak in notes. Those notes are beautiful. The vocal fry stems from a sense of inner worthlessness, so it's the ultimate irony that one would add vocal fry to their style of talking in order to achieve an air of exclusivity and authority. Vocal Fry within itself is the ultimate expression of presenting a phoney front in order to cover up an underlying lack of self belief. Men and women of the younger generations needs to wake up to this fact and reset.

    I'm an older German woman who likes to watch all kinds of documentations in English language. A while ago I noticed vocal fry more and more, and I didn't even know there was a name for it and that it was being discussed, as we don't have it here at all. Especially one air crash investigator lady in a video talked like this all the time. It actually bothered me so much that I went on fast forward until somebody else started to speak. What bothered me? First of all, I could hardly understand her with English not being my native language. It felt like the additional energy that she didn't invest into speaking clearly was now on my side - I needed a lot of additional energy to just understand what she was saying. In addition it didn't sound nice, it felt artificial and I always feared she would suffocate before the end of the next sentence. I am very glad and grateful for this video and also for all the comments explaining all the possible reasons why it happens, and that not everyone does it on purpose (because that was my assumption). It is now easier for me to not get judgemental when I hear it, and I still have the option to fast forward if it's too exhausting trying to understand that person. And I'm also sorry for my assumption.

I said I was from here, the US, and they thought I sounded British. Being nervous has an effect on my voice somehow. Those two girls weren’t the first people to ask me that either. It could be that I am learning a new language, but I doubt that’s the reason. Do you have any tips on why this is occurring and how I could improve on not doing it?

Same with speaking. I’d be interested in your thoughts about “the pause” So many speakers go on and on without so much as a breath. The audience needs time to listen or digest the sentence or an important word.

    My mom has an infinite ammount of patience when it comes to helping me break bad habbits. One of which is talking too loud. When i start talking too loud, she makes a little "lower" hand gesture. That way i dont lose my train ofvthought.

    The thing is that when I am presenting something my voice doesn't shake as much as my knees and my hands But when I am reading a simple text my voice starts shaking and I start gasping for air . This thing happened to me 2 years ago then it stopped last year but it's back now . I made lots of researchs and when I don't want it to happen I take deep breaths 4 seconds inhale 4s keep it 4s exhale and 4s stop breathing then repeat it till I feel better . It really helped me but I still have it and I don't want it anymore

    I am a loud talker...but it's too much painful to me... because I feel pain in my throat while speaking

      Yes, if you are speaking too loudly it means you are sending up too much air through the vocal folds, which effectively means you are slapping them every time you speak-- eventually that is going to hurt! Hopefully the tips in this video can help.

    I am 29 and for all my life I talked so fast that people didnt understand what i say. Suffered from bully in school, everywhere. Tried treatments, breath correction, etc. But it didnt work for me. Now after you video i just imagine what I am going to speak like subtitle in my mind. Now i can talk very slower and better. But how do I make it permanent? Thank you! Jesus Christ bless you.

      I'm so sorry to hear you've struggled with this and I am glad to hear that the tips in this video are helping. What makes it permanent is practice! Practicing is the only way to shift habits. Practice when it feels good to do so and then let it go when it starts to feel too strenuous. Over time, a new pace will get built into the body's muscle memory. Good luck!
