Hello! I'm John Russell.
In previous videos, we have explored ideas about warming up. You learned about specific exercises to warm up your mouth and improve your ability to say difficult vowel and consonant sounds.
Now let’s explore another way you can warm up and sound more confident in your speaking: increasing the volume of your voice.
Consider this example:
Hello! I’m John Russell.
Did that sound confident?
No. My volume was low. Even native speakers would have a hard time understanding me.
Now consider how I introduced myself at the beginning of this report:
Hello! I'm John Russell.
My speaking was much louder and much more confident.
Here is one way you can practice increasing your volume. Start with a vowel sound at a very soft level. Then increase it.
Like this:
oooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You can also record yourself saying sentences at different volumes. Start quietly, and then increase the volume.
Hello! I’m John Russell.
Hello! I’m John Russell.
Hello! I’m John Russell.
After you record yourself, listen back. You will probably find that you sound best after you have increased your volume.
That’s all for today!
Keep up the good work!
