How do you find out if you use too much effort in your voice projection? And what’s the harm if you use too much effort projecting your voice?
When you are shouting, you use too much unnecessary effort in your voice projection. It’ll damage your vocal cords soonest. You’ll feel sore in your throat. You may lose your voice after shouting for 2 – 3 hours. If you are in the profession where you need to speak much, you’ll have to take a break before you gain your voice back.
When you sound forceful, you are using too much effort in your voice projection. You may think that helps you project energy, but a forced voice does not sound pleasant. You won’t be able to hold other’s attention for too long. It’s like the drum noise hitting in their ears and your audience will leave the room very soon if they have a choice. If you are a woman, a forced voice will make you sound like a man. It doesn’t project authority. It makes people scared of you and think you might be a feminist.
Watch the video below to find out how a forced voice sounds like.
Proper voice projection is achieved without exerting effort. This may sound surprising to you. Proper voice projection not only needs no effort, but also makes you heard clearly. It sounds magical but it’s not magic that you unveil something and it appears or disappears. Proper voice projection is a process of working on your body, changing your habits and creating lasting results.
