How to make your voice sound better | Ruby Blog
Your voice is like your physical appearance or, um, your odor: it’s intrinsic to other people’s immediate sensory perceptions of you. It’s a core element of who you are and how others experience your existence. Before people hear what you say, they hear how you say it.
And your voice might not just be a reflection of you. If you run a business, your voice is your business’s voice. It’s the voice people hear when they call your company, or the voice your team members may emulate when representing your brand.
As the leader of your business, you use your voice to:
- Make decisions
- Convert callers into buyers
- Create trust with existing and potential customers or clients
- Negotiate
- Communicate expectations
- Provide feedback
- Exude positive energy
- Teach others
…And so much more.
In short, the quality of your voice helps you communicate more effectively. No surprise there. But unfortunately, we’re not all born with the same vocal faculties. While some people possess powerful speaking voices with little training, others need to learn, practice, and overcome ingrained speaking habits to get there.
