I heard my voice in a recording yesterday and today I'm researching how to change it. I grew up with serious emotional neglect and I've never learned how to communicate effectively. I've always felt like nobody listened when I was talking and now I know it's because I wasn't using my real voice. I'm so stressed out and afraid when I speak that I sound like a child still... this video was a transformative experience for me.
I was also neglected as a child. I got the message that emotions were unimportant; hence I spoke in a monotone. I mistook appearing serious for maturity. I'm Slatina Massey on Facebook. Feel free to add me. I care.
Gina Young same here. Turned me into a very soft spoken woman. Im already petite so my voice makes me feel completely invisible sometimes. But this video opened my eyes.
Omg me toooo I sound like a kid I'm 30 and to this day I feel like noone takes me serious noone wants to hear what I have to say all because I haven't found my authentic voice
Good talk, thank you Roger. Here are my notes if it helps anyone else :) - Find your real authentic voice, not the voice you take on from someone else. - 3 Key insights from Roger Love - Your voice is the most powerful communication tool that you possess - There is no difference in voice between singing and speaking, once you realize your voice is musical instrument, it changes the game. - All speaking is public speaking and should be treated that way, whether you are talking to one person or a group - How To find your voice that connects with people and move them emotionally. - Your voice is not designed for you, it is a gift that you give away - Sound waves are interpreted by the other person by thoughts, emotions and memories. - Your voice is to make them others feel something. - Breath in through your nose so that the air becomes moist and not dry your throat. - Chest up, shoulders back and down to not restrict the rib cages. - Breath in through your nose and pretend you have a balloon in your abdomen. When you speak let your abdomen come back in. - Myth: The words matter - The words only account for 7% if a person believes you - 90% of has to do with the sounds of your voice. Pitch, Pace, Tone, Melody, Volume and Body Language - Don’t speak on the same note becasue listeners will think they know what you are going to say and they will disconnect. (Mix it up) - When you go down on volume at times, it sounds like you are apologizing. - Three ways to use melody - Walking up the stairs (Lower to higher) Makes people happy - Walking down the stairs (Higher to lower) Makes people sad, don’t use it. - Spend less time staying on the landing (Boring)
I used to mumble and had to grow out of it through immense frustration and even then i have had to learn how to communicate and even then i had to learn how to listen and know when something is NEEDED to be said. My brother is a mumble but very loud in gaming and it gets me aggravated that he cant have the same passion when talking casually and he is be taught through gaming that they only way out is thorugh frustation but hes a slow learner so i cant blame him.
Everyone here complaining about how he over-emphasizes each sentence.But I find It useful ,because I have a very short lived attention span,so his way of speaking compells me to actually listen again. :D
You are on the mark and money my friend. How does any person convey a lifetime of experience to an audience in a short moment of time; well Roger Love is the guy to do it. The tools that Roger implanted into and onto the audience in attendance and those watching on the screen of any form, will be transformed in such a subtle manner, that in spite of themselves, will benefit them over their lifetime. He had me at the sentence about "when I was 16, my first student was Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys". From that point on, the rest is certainly history. We are lucky to have such a master vocal technician.
This is great. For those of you who think he speaks "over the top", honestly, if he wasn't speaking about voices, you'd not pay attention to his style enough to get annoyed.
I have been depressed for years and I was not used to talk much due to which I lost my voice. This Ted Talk was literally a life changing for me. Thank u Roger
@@oussemafarhat4 I got the same issue dear, unclear voice and people not understanding what I'm trying to say; did this work for you in the past 7 months.?
@@zeeshanhaider9741you should talk louder as if the person is standing 6 feet away from you. Practice that and it will train your vocal muscles to talk better.
It's so true , I speak with a monotone voice, and have the deepest voice of anyone I know on top of that. I listen to my voice and it sounded like rocks freaking grinding together
Oh my goodness he was just captivating with his voice The intensity, inflection, rate, frequency and quality of his voice throughout his presentation was like life- a fresh breath of life burst out so gently that it filled my senses and practically my lungs oh it was breathtaking
This make sense, my voice is horrible, I'm constantly spoken over, ignored, or dismissed, it's happend ever since I was a young child, it's so bad that I'm practically a mute these days because I know I would be wasting my breath if I tried to speak. and it's so depressing.
There was a time when my voice was higher. And it’s because I was happier. I’ve been speaking monotonously with a low pitch for years because of depression. Now that I have recovered, I’m looking forward to a change in my voice!
No wonder your name ends with Love. I have been following your work for years, which is inspiring. I love your joyful, playful presence and how naturally you give voice to your vision and share your incredible life's work with us all. "Make the world a better place one voice at a time." Hallelujah!
The Main thing is be not PASSIVE when you speak to others be Proactive. Take your time. Listening is part of it all as well in that how you speak could be effected by what or how they spoke! Have Fun! Thank YouRoger!
I literally make people yawn when I speak. I bet I can make a person who is wide awake yawn within 2-4 minutes of me talking with them. It's a gift that I possess.
This was a successful Ted Talk just for everyone that had the chance to pay attention and learn. i've laughed so much, even teared up a little because it gave me hope that my speech can improve and it will improve. I am bilingual and in Spanish I can't roll my Rs for example, and I NEVER speak when my ''stomach is coming back in''. Definitely will master this technique. Thank you Roger Love!!!!!!!!!
The National Lottery granted me to pay for on-line singing lessons with Roger Love and I was so pleased with the course, which was both packed with knowledge and tips but excellent value for money! so great to see this session and learn skills for the speaking arena! Excellent communicator and teacher. Thank you so very much. I especially love what he said about the 'voice being a gift for others'! Thank you. Natalie Ng. Luton, UK.
I would love to take elocution lessons from Roger. In the meantime, I’m happy to have stumbled upon this video and will search for more content from him.
Although I have no technical knowledge on this subject, it's intuitive to me that lower tones do not ALWAYS make people sad. By my perception, lower tones can evoke TRUST and can also be soothing. However, always speaking in a lower tone can be boring and indeed make people sad. As I truly believe it's not just me to have this opinion, I would dare to say that we should make good use of our entire vocal range, instead of just focusing on mid-to-high pitch.
You're right. I think its more then just sad and happy. Both high and low voices can show trust, authority, calmness, and many unspeakable feelings if said in required situations. But i do understand him though.
@@kshitijguleria8594 Folks, it appears that living in the world of duality, it is always the same: speakers like Roger state a generalization and the listener and commenters, as in this comment, tend to never allow the obvious "wiggle room" of common sense to be present. You hear one small segment of Roger's lifetime living experience, and voila, you state your opinion as "lower tones do not ALWAYS make people sad". My question to you both reply's, what are you trying to convey to the audience right now... Here's my opinion on the subject for this TED Talk HEADING: "Is you voice ruining your life"... I watched it, and I have been taught by Roger, so here is my question to you? Are your responses to anything, "ruining your life?" Where the (your) thoughts go... so does the voice. As a thought is really a silent vocal inflection from the voice; whether you believe it or not...meaning whether you even like it or not... a thought is a silent subtle soft inaudible whisper that instantaneously involves the voice. Therefore, It is the owner or possessor of the voice, who controls the volume... on a scale of 0 - 10, and in this specific case silence is golden. Saying nothing with words, may be interesting for the moment, but becomes nothing.
He didn't say that lower tones make people sad, but that lowering the tone makes people sad. It's the direction of the change of pitch he's talking about.
What happen, the voice open the throat chakra, the chakra the communicate with the world, so as you change with practice, th e chakra open, your body feel great cause it receive and give.
Thanks so much for this informations, I was really struggling with this, I have had anxiety and depression for years, I preferred to stay silent and that makes my voice so weak, that's really was so helpful
Thanks to Roger Love, his teaching and his coaching, I have control over my voice that I did not have before I took his UCLA Extension class, many years ago.
Wow! I think Roger Love is Awesome! I also just bought his book and CD Set your voice free. I've been singing for a quite awhile but in one day his tips have helped me immensely!
This is my first time watching a video of Roger Love; as a matter of fact, this was my first time reading about him. He was recommended from a sales book and I am glad that I watched this video. This will help me with communicating my ideas and emotions effectively. I will definitely watch more of his videos.
Great speech, my voice is something I been trying to work on the longest and being able to understand why I’m talking in such a way really helped me understand the problem and look forward to the solution and practice more so that I may connect with people in a much better way where they want to listen and can understand what I’m saying. So Thank You Roger Love much appreciated
With more Love we will change the world... it's already begun... You will love this voice of yours.... SHARE THIS & #WeAllWin #TED #LivefromEarth Thank you Roger.
To everyone asking why the speech is being translated into sign language. What if its just interesting. I think my voice is fine since I d what he taught already, but i still watched it because I was interested. If i was deaf/couldn't articulate well, I would still watch it because it would intrigue me more. Ya'll think you're smart for noticing, but really, it just shows you are itching to find flaws in other's works.
Yes, my voice ruining my life... So sad when I recalled the days I made my presentation, lecture and classmates can't hear my voice from the back even I have tried so much to do exercise everyday to speak louder in order to improve my voice. But my voice still not get any improvement and oftenly get blamed by my lecture since they felt annoying to my voice. Classmates felt annoying to my voice too... After this series of situation, I have diagnosed social anxiety whenever I present something in front of my classmates... Felt scared and terrified to talk to people most of the time...I felt disappointment to my current state..😞
I'm in the same position pal😭😭 whenever the teacher asks a question in class I can't answer even if I know the right one. I'm just so scared to speak up with my low voice. My whole life I have faced this and I want to improve so badly
1. Voice is the powerful communication tool you possess 2. There is no difference between speaking and singing 3. All speaking is Public speaking You voice is for other people. Roger only wants me to speak while my tummy is getting back in. Words don't matter much. Only 7%. What matter is - Pitch, Taste, Melody, Volume. Spend more time walking up the stairs of your voice.
Roger Love, you are amazing, I have benefited in so many ways ever since I came across your book "SET YOUR VOICE FREE" I quickly looked for you on UA-cam and I'm so glad I found you 😩
HOW FASCINATING, ROGER! I'll surely have you as my coach once I saved up! Here are my key takeaways: 1. Your voice is a tool and a musical instrument-a gift 2. Practise diaphragmatic breathing (breathe in through your nose -> pretend to have a balloon in your abdomen -> say and do "roger only wants me to speak while my abdomen is coming back in") 2. When introducing yourself, don't sound like you're apologizing for your name (going down in melody and volume). At least stay on the same note! Cheers!
Roger, such an amazing presentation. Your message is a light for the planet and the idea of joining you on your quest is a no brainer. Just say Yes. Congratulations on an elegant solution to heal the world. Marvelous, simply Mah vel us. I am of course being serious. Count me in.
woah when he was talking about ascending the steps, I was like, is he about to tell us to do upspeak, which most people say not to do? But the ascending the steps he shows is different! When he said "I really like golf" in the ascending way, it didn't have that questioning sound that upspeak has. - I agree with him that it sounds nicer than his example of descending the steps. When I examined why, I saw that while the sentence overall is ascending, the word "golf" has a bit of a descending tone at the end of it. Whereas if I say it with the word "golf" fully ascending, it sounds like a question, and more like examples I've heard of upspeak.
Enchanting comes from "cantar" which means "to sing". Wizards, back in the day, sang their spells. This is why people pay $300 a ticket to see Madonna or U2. Music, and voice, are hard core magic. Don't be fooled. The proof is in the pudding. Thanks Roger. You nailed it. I love your message.
What he is trying to say is speak in mixed voice :D It works real well with the ladies. Ok, so get a phonation device such as a singing straw or a breath ball. Then what you do is learn how to do Bel canto which is what the straw teaches you from back pressure. You use that back pressure as you phonate and there is your natural voice.
Wonderful video. Never thought there will be so many people like me who has same problem becuase of not knowing the power of their voices. Thanks a lot Roger Love & TedX for this nice video.
11:00 Learning how to improve my voice for streaming and content creation, and this is really helping. But its funny to me that the interpreter is still interpreting at this part.

Whereas if I say it with the word "golf" fully ascending, it sounds like a question, and more like examples I've heard of upspeak.
One of the most useful prescription material I have ever heard and needed badly.
Enchanting comes from "cantar" which means "to sing". Wizards, back in the day, sang their spells. This is why people pay $300 a ticket to see Madonna or U2. Music, and voice, are hard core magic. Don't be fooled. The proof is in the pudding. Thanks Roger. You nailed it. I love your message.
this prolly the single best video on the planet
What a brilliant speech! 👌🏾✨
he's very satisfying to hear
What he is trying to say is speak in mixed voice :D It works real well with the ladies. Ok, so get a phonation device such as a singing straw or a breath ball. Then what you do is learn how to do Bel canto which is what the straw teaches you from back pressure. You use that back pressure as you phonate and there is your natural voice.
this guy's book, Love Your Voice, is brilliant.

The world is now a better place, the secret to make an impact and make people remember it is in how you say your message. Not what you´re saying.
