How Hot Is Your Speaking Voice?
Before you make a decision about how hot or how sexy you think your voice is, go record yourself and listen to the playback. That is the sound you should analyze. It is important to understand that the sound you hear in your head is not how everyone else recognizes you. How you think you sound and how you really sound are two different voices. In that sense, it is like comparing apples to oranges. They may both be fruits and they may both be round but that is where the similarities end.
In your analysis, did you find your voice rich and deep or high-pitched and whiny? Perhaps you speak too loudly which can be offensive or maybe you are soft-spoken and no one can hear what you are saying. If you mumble, then chances are good that you are a man and a tall one at that. Trust me, your lack of clear and concise articulation is not impressing her. For her to find you interesting, she must first understand your message.
If you speak in a monotone, then the emotions you are feeling are not going to be perceived by the other person correctly. In fact, he or she may find you less than enthusiastic or passionate if your delivery is dull, dry and boring.
If you feel that your voice could use some work, you should consider learning how to power your sound by means of your chest cavity. Presently, the chances are likely that you are not speaking in this manner which means that you are powering your vocal sound by means of your voice box (larynx) and throat (pharynx). Rest assured, you are not alone. The majority of the population is speaking in this manner as well.
In the analysis of your voice, you may have found other problems with your voice. There are a variety of adjectives that could apply: wimpy, nasal, throaty, reedy, tight, shaky, strident, weak, hoarse, too fast or too slow. The list goes on and on.
Once your chest becomes your primary sounding board, however, your voice will become warmer, deeper, and - given the right tone - sensual. Hot, sexy, whatever you want to call it, voices like those of Sean Connery, George Clooney, Kathleen Turner, and Julia Ormond are very arousing. What distinguishes these great voices from so many others is the resonance they exhibit, only possible if the chest is powering the voice.
Your speaking voice accounts for 37% of the image you project. What is yours saying about you? Hot or not so hot? Learn to speak from your chest and I guarantee you will like what it is saying!
