Let your voice be heard #4

Projecting your voice is not about shouting louder which can strain and ultimately            damage your vocal cords. Vocal strength depends on the power of your breath –           which is the reason for all the breathing exercises mentioned earlier.

            Use the visualization technique to improve your projection. Pick a spot on the wall           opposite you and visualize your sound hitting that spot on the wall. It will let you           focus on how far you want your sound to go. Find several different-sized spaces to            practice this. Work initially with one sound “Hah!” then say the days of the week, the months of the year and then build up to a sentence. 

            Practice saying your sentence over and over until you’re sure you know how much air      you need to be heard in the space you’re in.

            Again, begin from day one and extend your routine to include today’s exercise.
