Your"Voice Tells Much About You By NANCY WILTON Did you know that your voice is like a delicate instrument? That your vocal chords are as sensitive as the strings of a violin and that you must treat them with a great deal of care? Moreover, the sound of your voice, in communicating with others, often tells what type person you are and can even tell them how you feel. One important thing you can do for this very valuable pos session is to learn to use it cor rectly. Modulate it. There are two extremes in a speaking voice that can grate on other's nerves. One is the voice that's shrill, loud and penetrating. The other one that mumbles. This forces your listeners to strain to hear you and often they ask you to repeat what you've said. Both of these traits can be very annoying. Why not start developing yours into a fine, resonant sp. aking voice just as an artist trains his for singing. Practice your diction first. Don't be in such a rush to spill out what you have to say that you slur your words or "swallow" them. Remember to speak distinctly. If what you have to say is of interest to others they will like it so much more if you say it with a beautiful voice. It is so much easier to listen to others, but do you know what your voice sounds like? Step into a room alone and talk aloud. Bet ter still, if you have a friend who owns a tape recorder ask permission to make a test on it. Once you correct the pilch, concentrate on projection. Speak out so you can be heard. If you breathe properly, with deep breaths, you won't sound as if each word were your last gasp. As you cross your I s and dot your i's in writing, so should you pronounce distinctly the vowels and consonants of the speken word. Developing a clear, precise speech can do a great deal in your relationship with other people.
