Is your voice sabotaging your first impression by being weak, croaky or nasal? Are people asking you to slow down or speak up when you talk? Do you find your voice hurts after a short speech or are your opinions being ignored? All of these factors are the results of poor speech habits which 'Speak and Be Heard' aims to remove from your vocal routine! 'Speak and Be Heard' contains a collection of 101 voice and breathing exercises suitable for beginners to accomplished Toastmasters aimed at naturally improving your voice. Written by voice actor and audiobook narrator Richard Di Britannia, his exercises aim to help you speak with confidence and curate a warm, rich, natural voice that people enjoy listening to. You will learn: Ways to empower yourself with three key concepts that create a great voice. How to identify weaknesses in your own voice and how to fix them. Exercises to rectify breathing problems and strengthen the muscles used when talking. How to make your voice deeper or higher in pitch. Routines to clearly vocalise all forty-four phonemes of the English language such as 'st', 'th', and drills on difficult to pronounce words.
