Transcript excerpt

Four ways to have a less annoying voice from a licensed diapologist. Practice speaking from your belly. When you're nervous or on camera, your throat constricts and your voice sounds thin and high, but you can counter that by breathing from your diaphragm. The pencil trick. Put a pencil between your teeth and leave your script out loud. Shout out Amelia for this. It forces you to open your mouth wider and loosens lazy diction. Avoid sing songy Zoom speak. You know what I'm talking about. Your voice goes up like this when you're finishing a sentence. People interpret it as a question, not as a statement. It undercuts everything you're saying. And vary your pace. You can speed up to get to the point, but say the important stuff slower.
