The intro really hit me
I felt like she’s talking about me 😞
@@anjalijairath2651 right? Anyway, did you applied her tips?
im citiii no
No one is free to give adjectives.....
Me too..😅
Anyone else that think their inner voice (the way you think you sound) doesn't match the sound of your actual voice?
Ahron C hi there. That’s correct. It doesn’t. The bone conduction we experience when speaking, along with the sympathetic vibration we feel in our tissues, muscles etc makes us hear ourselves inside in a unique way. The best representation of your true sound is when you record it and listen to your voice back. That is how our audience hears us and perceives us. So the only way to change our voice is to first hear it back as others hear it. Then make adjustments from there.
My voice sound like a 4 kid btw im 16 what can I do to change my voice
Agree
i do. i hate my voice, and i cant unmute my mic in calls, and i mumble in real life to mask my voice because i fucking hate it.
@@shaniaplct my voice always has this weird R sound in a way. Not saying I have trouble saying my R's but when I talk it sounds.... ew
step 1: be sure to be alone while watching so not be embarrased.
Step 2: Don't be so embarrassed! Elisa
I’m here cause on quarantine I go on calls and they have to hear my voice
susie perkins hi there! Well thank you for joining us! Yes nowadays with so many video conferencing we need to up our skill level around speaking. Try and make your voice as interesting as possible to keep your audience engaged.
Sameeeeee
I'm here too because I'm on quarantine (fancy that!) and perforce, must go on calls where everyday, ordinary people must hear my voice!
When I talk to these A-hole's, I normally affect an Elmer Fudd lisp.
I call them wascally wimps and weetards and ask them politely
"Will you please bwend ovah so I can buhwy my foot up you wump."
It's incwedible how many of them are so complaisant and obliging with this request!
Oney in Amehicah!
Samee
Lol
Number 1: Record your voice and listen to it and note what characteristics your voice has that you don't want like its airy its nasal its squeaky Note it all down and also ask it with your friends and colleagues.
Number 2: Try the opposite that you noted in step one for e.g if you found out nasal tone then try the opposite speak more from the mouth and so on try opposite listen observe try opposite and repeat the cycle until you get the desired voice. Experiment, Observe and Learn.
Number 3: Air Flow is very important for aesthetic and pleasing sounding voice. Try to have balanced airflow and with practice anybody can achieve this.
Thanks Elisa!
Good Luck Everyone!
Thank you for your reply, here are my new video's on How to Fix a Nasally Voice ua-cam.com/video/JgFB0nm6ZDE/v-deo.html and Voice Modulation ua-cam.com/video/RyuuA6aiQfQ/v-deo.html
plot twist: she cringed when she heard her voice in this video
I'm dead
Omg hahjahahahhajaj
unlikely
I bet a lot of content creators get quite self conscious in the editing process of the videos we watch 🤔
@@lyricaldetective4310 maybe listen to your voice recording a lot and you'll get used to it
It’s the worst and it’s time I fix it. For voicemail I can consciously change it. But socially, I get too excited. It’s awful. It’s not how I feel inside- well I am happy, but I’m too old to sound like a child. Thank you 🙏🏽

My voice is deep and kinda childish , my mom hates my voice and I do too , 😢
My voice sounds too nasal sometimes even when I speak in a natural tone. When alone,I still speak well,but in public, I get over excited and start speaking rubbish 😅 I mean, my voice modulation,pronunciation and usage of vocabulary goes off.
I asked my bf to describe my voice and he said “whiny & like You can’t breathe.” 🤣🤣🤣😩😩
Lol
At least he’s honest, now you can fix it 🙌🏻
Hi Bernadette, try these exercises and let me know how you go :) Elisa ua-cam.com/video/TPQdTetaiic/v-deo.html
Dump him
@@dabbler2071 no why
lack of air flow is my problem! thanks for helping me to figure this out
Happy to help! 😀 Elisa
When you said, "GUARANTEED." It gives me hope
It should and you can! Elisa
I'm here because I'm on quarantine and I've been calling people online. No one asked but :))) ik others are like me too.
Yes! That’s exactly why I’m here haha
With you Anne :P
SAME BAHAHHA
My dad works in Spanish Radio. It is not a good idea to make any drastic 'forced' changes to your voice - you want your voice to be as naturally 'you' as possible. A much better idea is to familiarise yourself with it, practice speaking clearly and flowingly and to 'release' the voice with no blocks. Being calm and being good to oneself is much more effective than 'forcedly' changing voice which can also cause stress therefore ironically making voice worse.
HI Mars - Voice training is not about drastic or forced anything. Just like you can improve your mind with focused learning, or improve your body with a personal trainer - you can improve many aspects of your life without force or tension. I have been on stage and on camera for more than 35 years as a professional singer, actor, VO artist and speaker. I also have a Masters degree in voice, so all my students get quality training from a qualified professional. Since you have never had training with me, I don't expect you to fully understand everything I teach. Nothing I teach can possibly make your voice worse. It's a shame that you have had that experience or seen it with others. As a voice and presentation coach I only teach safe speaking and sound-making that ensures a resonant, rich and full speaking sound with freedom from tension which always gives you the BEST sound possible for YOU! If you don't study, practice and implement anything you are learning.... of course no changes can take place. Thank you for sharing. Elisa x
My voice is like deep whenever I try to speak clear it sounds like I’m yelling but I want to be able to talk without my voice sounding deep and cutting me before because the f’s and s’s are very faint 💀 and it pisses me off.
It would be so helpful if there was a video of many different people’s speaking voices that showed different qualities because I have absolutely zero words to describe my voice.
Hi, that's a great idea but there are literally thousands. Let me think about that for a future video. Thanks for the thoughts. Elisa
@@TheVoiceofConfidence Awesome! That would be amazing! Even just general qualities because I don’t even have a single adjective to describe my voice or anyone else’s. Thanks again for your videos!!!! And for your reply. You are brilliant! 💚
Same here. I have a very unusual voice. I'm a 38 year old woman but I'm often mistaken for a young boy. I would love to work as a receptionist but I will never get a job in that line of work. My voice has held me back in life. I feel sorry for others who are subjected to the torture of having to hear me talk.
@@chelseascott5872 it’s probably not as bad as you think! You should see if you could get someone to give you real feedback. I really cringe when I hear my own voice but I think that’s true for a lot of people. Also, there are a lot of awful receptionists out there so if your voice is your worst quality you would still be better than most receptionists out there. You should try it! 💚
Love that you talk about the quality of your voice! We should definitely analyze our own voices.
Realy fantastic tips for better voice..
Thanks so much Ravindra. I am glad you got value out of the tips! Stay tuned for the new TV show: The Voice of Confidence TV... coming soon!
This was great! To the point and well explained! Looking forward viewing your other videos! Keep up the good job! Thanks!
Bro this actually worked I'm like about to cry. When she was explaining stuff about what people might hate about there voice and she said "Is it too airy or not enough" I was like....hold up, so I made another video of me talking in an airy-er voice and when I listened back to it OH MY GOD I SOUNDED LIKE A QUEEEEN!! It's like i've had this magical power of a good voice but I haven't possesed it till now!!
Hi MissEmilee, that's wonderful. Practice the exercises in this video and you can have the voice you want. Elisa ua-cam.com/video/TPQdTetaiic/v-deo.html
@@TheVoiceofConfidence Tysm! I will definitely be checking out that video!
STEP 1 : have a GOOD VOICE
Not everyone is born with a good voice, I certainly wasn't, but it can be achieved.
Not really on camera but I did do that when listening to a voice message I’d sent and said to myself “oh sweet lord Jesus, what the fuck is that?!?” 😂😂
Hilarious!
wow. I just did the voice recording analysis & I am in shock. my voice sounds so somber. great video
NoLongerBlah - this one should help too ua-cam.com/video/merye6Vfwxs/v-deo.html
Great tips! Thank you! 🙂
I literally can't sound like I'm interested or excited to save my life. My voice has been described as "stoner" or surfer dude but I don't do either one lol
Try these exercises, it should help :) Communicate with More Clarity ua-cam.com/video/MPSk82aOm-w/v-deo.html
tbh better then my voice
my voice sounds really poorly articulated and like my throat feels really clogged or something? and my nose is full of mucus all the t ime because of my dust allergies asiohdfgknrg
The third step was very helpful. Thanks
Thank you! Great one!
Thank you, straight to the point as i like it.
Thank you Da Malik. Elisa
Thanks for the tips sweet teacher 💜
Thanks, excellent. Following.
thank you Leon Galindo Stenutz! You might want to check out my other videos as well... :)
Love this great advice x
Thank you Samantha :)
You are an amazing person.
I just figured out how to use the voice recorder on my computer (Windows 10) along with external microphone/headphone. My voice is too "thin" (lack of resonance) AND monotone, I think. I am a very eloquent person, silver-tongued, but my voice definitely needs work. I think this will help me with general social confidence as well.
It will, this video may help you too. ua-cam.com/video/merye6Vfwxs/v-deo.html
A tip I learned while watching this video:
If you have a good singing voice but have a bad speaking voice, try thinking like youre singing when youre speaking.
Of course dont actually sing, but just try integrating a bit of your singing voice to your speaking voice.
Love it.
Yesss..exactly intro
Thank u I needed this😘
This was great. TY!
Glad you liked it Jamie - Let me know if you have any suggestions for another video you would like to see Elisa x
Hi there! New subscriber and will continue to look through your videos to help improve my speaking voice. After analyzing I find my voice to be soft and airy (sounds almost like mumbling) and when I try to overcome this, sounds dark and forced. Lacking balance and hoping to achieve a more feminine voice.. I admire how women spoke in the movies I see from 1950s America. Unmistakably meek snd gracious, in my opinion. Thank you very much for your time and help on this channel!
Hi Marie, welcome. This video has a lot of exercises that should help you. ua-cam.com/video/TPQdTetaiic/v-deo.html Let me know how you go. Elisa
@@TheVoiceofConfidence Wow. Thank you very much for the reply and recommendation. I really appreciate your time and help with this. Thanks again! I will give you feedback as I progress.
wow the airflow comment is so true!
I just started recording myself, I realize now this is the most important thing to change in my life right now. I'm upset that I didn't do this a long time ago. Every time I think I have made an improvement I record myself and it still sounds rubbish. I do think I'm slowly going in the right direction though.
Amazing 👏 thank you very much u r a great coach n teacher of voice
Thank you safiya :)
Thanks for realizing the importance of Air flow , it helped me alot ❤️
My pleasure 😊 Elisa
Thanks 👍🏻
My voice is dry, that's the best way to describe it. It's dry rather than moist and cracks a lot. I hate it. I can't tell if this is from my poor sleep schedule or if my voice just sucks that much. I'd like to get into streaming but it's hard when my voice isn't soothing at all. I want people to have a pleasant time watching my streams, not hearing my terrible voice.
Hi, you can change the sound. Exercises, practice, articulation and pronunciation will help. This video has a lot of exercises that should help you. ua-cam.com/video/TPQdTetaiic/v-deo.html Let me know how you go. Elisa
Oh, awesome! Thank you so much for being responsive regardless of how old some content may be, I really appreciate that :]
I have this problem too! Though my issue is as a result of my Sjogrens Syndrome. Not only does it make me tired which doesn't help my voice, but it also attacks the body's mucosal glands, drying everything out. Vocal chords included.
The other problems I have is taking too many breaths, along with struggles of finding a solid balance between too much and too little annunciation. And whistly-sounding consonants (especially with s & z)
Very interesting tips.
Glad it was helpful!
AWESOME, my dear super AWESOME energy
Thank you Suresh, try checking out my newer videos. Elisa
I speak as if I have a sorethroat (I get this comment all the time). I have monotone and breathy voice, like there's sandy sound.

thanks for your video. I've developed a problem, that when I talk
I think all the time about which pitches to use… it starts to wear me out, and it makes me anxious. it's a serious problem right now. when I'm with a friend I can't talk relaxed anymore because I think about my talking, my voice. how it sounds...how do i get out of here...it made me so very anxious...alone with family makes me feel relaxed and i don't have to think about the pitches of my voice like that...please how can you help me get rid of this?
Wow..

My colleague told me my voice sounds quite harsh sometimes when i speak to the client it doesnt sound nice at all…would love chnage my voice to a deeper and softer voice!
Very helpful
Glad it helped, Elisa
Lol. I just realized this now. I recorded myself and literally freaked out on how I sound. Now I know why people avoid me haha.
The problem with my voice is both my accent and the airflow, I have been speaking without airflow for over 13 years and it is quite hard for me to get it
Thanks a Lot ‘ Air Flow - Very Important ’
Glad it was helpful! Elisa

I am here because my mom said that my voice is too loud and manly ( even though I don't understand how its manly because I asked my friend and she said my voice is not manly at all) so I am going to try to change my voice. She also said that I talk alot so I am trying to shut up more. Wish me luck
Hi Joud, sounds like you need some voice modulation! Try this video it will help ua-cam.com/video/RyuuA6aiQfQ/v-deo.html
Good Luck! 😀
@@TheVoiceofConfidence thank you, I will try it
What if you are hard-of-hearing? I'm born with permanent hearing loss and due to this, I have a soft, deep, and breathy type of voice. I can't hear my voice unless I'm wearing my hearing aids and record my voice to play it back to me. I hate talking because of my voice, but I always want to improve on it. Any tips?
HI There - I have worked with some hearing-impaired students and I found that when they wear their hearing aides, they become lower in volume and more airflow is consumed during speaking. This leads to a soft and low sound... try turning them WAY down and using a decibel metre to bring UP the volume when you are speaking. That clarity and volume will improve the quality of your sound.
@@TheVoiceofConfidence I have to keep the volume a little high because I can't hear my voice if it's too low. I can show you what I mean if I could somehow record my voice and send it to you for feedback. Be warned though: It's super quiet when I'm not wearing my hearing aids.
Thank you for responding!
@@TheVoiceofConfidence I also don't have a metre decibel, but thank you!
Softand airy...like chid,😭
Same here
I have many videos on my channel to help, try this one ua-cam.com/video/RyuuA6aiQfQ/v-deo.html
Right, ok, I've just played myself back and it sounds like i am trying to speak while i've ran out of air and i keep going... for another half an hour and then wonder why my voice gets tired. Haha. Come back for air, woman! Breathe more often!!!
AIR FLOW , got it thanks :) my speaking voice ounds weak now at 73 1/2 but I can sing loud ?!

how can I learn to control my airflow

Sharp sounding
Hy... I'm a student who studies OET... Bt there s a very bad tone while speaking... Wht should i do to improve ma tone?? Could u please tell me some tips?
I'm getting jealous of my friend having a beautiful voice while I'm here having a goat voice
Listen your own Recording
What if my voice sounds different whenever i speak a different language?
Hi Wonderfuly, if you wish to sound fluent articulation and pronoucation is the key of the language you wish to speak. Your voice sounds differnt across dialects as each require differnet use of vocal folds and airflow. I can assist you with English, try this video here: ua-cam.com/video/dzd21mUbwV8/v-deo.html but many others on my channel will help you too. Elisa
Am a kid and its the same thing but not when I try to make my voice deeper
And obviously you have such beautiful voice❤️
Hi.. I'm a youtuber from Malaysia.. Audience always complaining my voice is too flat when i make a commentary , i try to practicing but i don't what's wrong with my voice.. Can you helping me to fix it..
Voice modulation is for you! See my video here ua-cam.com/video/RyuuA6aiQfQ/v-deo.html and check out others on my channel too :)
Mam please tell me how can I improve my listening capacity in English please mam reply surely I will be much grateful to you
Baluram virat Jogalsar listening skills are so important because we become better speakers when we listen with a new ear. The best way to learn is play back one sentence at a time and repeat it back as clearly as possible. Keep doing this slowly and accurately and both speaking and listening will improve!
