How to Find Your Robust Voice

By Earl Watson


Voice resonance is often known as the quality of someone's voice. I am certain that everyone has listened to the sound of their own voice on the phone or answering machine previously. Is your voice deep, rich and full? Or is it high, sharp, and penetrating. The sound of your voice that you hear from the answering machine is essentially determined by your vocal resonance.

As we have examined prior to this, sound is produced from the speed and vibrations of oxygen via the vocal cords. Resonance is decided by the cavity in which these air vibrations occur. Think of the difference between a violin and cello. The two tools display a similar string structure, even so the major differences in sound quality come from the variations in configuration of the hallow cavity that the strings vibrate over.

In individuals, the hallow cavities are found inside our throat, mouth, chest and nasal cavities. The variations in the shapes of your physical cavities is the reason why everyone has distinctive sounding voices. When you have a cold, and your sinuses get obstructed, your voice also doesn't resonate also. This explains why individuals have a propensity to sound silly while sick.

Try practicing the following voice resonance activity to better your personal sound quality. Hum any note at a comfortable pitch. Move the pitch slightly lower. You must pay special attention to the way your chest feels. Retain the note and continue to hum until you can feel the rumbling in your chest. Look to raise the intensity of the humming vibration. Next, move the pitch slightly two octaves higher and pay special attention to how your head feels. Feel the vibration in your head and chest and try to increase the intensity of the humming vibration. Open your mouth and hum until you feel the rumbling inside your tongue and lips, behind and above your mouth. Continue humming till you can sense the distinctions. Attempt to grow the vibration intensity. Redouble your focus to the vibrations in your chest once again. Repeat this exercise 5 times, recalling to end the exercise with the focus on your chest so as to develop a full, vibrant sound.

Warning: refrain from driving oxygen while you are humming. At the same time remember to breath frequently. Stop if you get light headed.
