SPECIAL LETTER FOR SPEAKERS SEMINARS

Have you ever listened to a person's voice  received from a telephone conversation?  Have you tried to imagine what they might look like?  It is totally amazing how we are always wrong?  It is astonishing how much time and money is spent on our appearance!  Our make-up, hair, nails, clothes, shoes, teeth, breath, etc., yet, we spend such little time and totally unaware as to the "timbre" ( the quality, color, and texture)  of the speaking voice!  The sad part is the fact that most people are not aware of the drastic changes that are possible as to the total improvement available for a wonderfully produced speaking voice!  Wrong, wrong!  Everyone can "enhance their second face....their voice."   Beautiful, sonorous vocal sounds from anyone is possible.  Speakers should never become hoarse from overuse, we often mis-use and abuse the vocal instrument.  We should always strive for a very attractive, pleasant quality while speaking.

There is without a doubt that the most neglected area of self-improvement for the majority of all society  is  enhancing their second face....."the voice!" 

How do we "enhance our second face?"  First of all, we do not train the voice, we train the brain!  Comprehensive information that is so vitally important is shared on this subject with trenchant, incisive, efficient, and effective concepts and principles needed  to be understood and applied during the teaching of the  six hour seminar for the speaking voice! 

When speaking, it is not only important "what we say," but how we say it! So many people talk with their brain in "neutral"  as far as the timbre, quality, texture of the vocal sound.  It is sad to say that many people, even though they might be highly educated in their respective fields, have never been taught or tutored as to the impact a poor quality vocal sound.   Also, they give very little thought as to the receptiveness of those listening to their inadequate sound and the response silently made in their minds toward the person with an improper quality of sound.  Start listening to individuals in various fields such as PhD's in various fields  Medical Doctors, Lawyers, School Teachers, Bankers, CEO's, Presidents of large companies, Ministers, Housewives, and the list goes on and on. .    I do not know any Institution of higher learning that specifically offers a course designed to strictly help a student change their vocal sound other than the voice teachers teaching singers.  Even voice teachers do not change the speaking quality, they help the student learn how to sing better.  If you know of such an institution, please let me know and I will be glad to include it on my web-site!

Every individual needs to learn how to produce a beautiful, rich, resonant sound that is pleasant to the ears of the listener, or listeners.  A speaker can have the utmost confidence, and a very important  statement, or message with great content, but if the quality of the sound coming from the "second face....the voice" is unpleasant, weak, lack of projection, annoying, many of the people not respect the speech and totally "tune them out!

In the speaking seminar, we will deal with the parameters for the voice, which are: pitch, tone, focus, volume, and timbre, which is the quality, pronunciation color, and texture of the voice!  Also, articulation and enunciation will be dealt with in detail.

Speaking correctly (that innate ability of every human being with all physical faculties in tact) is not a talent or a gift.  It is a hidden capacity - not revealed, for lack of knowledge and understanding of proper concepts and technique.  Truly, beautiful speaking is an acquired skill with lots of sweat and blood.  It is a well developed craft!

The seminar for speakers is designed to help everyone attending to gather exciting information how to find their true voice.  Every individual can learn how to find their ""optimal modal level!"

Colloquiasim plays a major role in with the sounds a person talks.  Most every normal individual can talk.  Sadly to say, the environment of those around us all the time"rub off" on us and we begin to talk like they do.  Not many people learn how to speak correctly.  Beginning as a child we develop incorrect habits; listening to our parents, siblings, friends, teachers, society in general, the total environment influencing everyone!  Therefore, environment and association, regional location,  [play a major role in the way we speak whether right or wrong! 

Every individual arrives at the mental image of perceiving sound, primarily through bone conduction in the third ear approximately seventy (70%).  We only hear our voice as others hear us approximately thirty (30%) percent.  Therefore, when you hear your voice on a tape recorder, you often say, "WHO WAS THAT?"

VOCAL IMPROVEMENT CAN ONLY BE ATTAINED BY INDIVIDUALS WILLING TO FREE THEIR PERSONAL AESTHETIC JUDGMENT! OUR AESTHETIC JUDGMENT IS THAT PRE-CONCEIVED CONCEPT WE HAVE HABITUATED IN THE BRAIN, AND ACCEPTED AS THE NORM!

PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS ARE VITALLY IMPORTANT TO ANY INDIVIDUAL INVOLVED IN USING SPEECH COMMUNICATION IN THEIR PROFESSION !

WHO SHOULD ATTEND A SEMINAR?

ALL INDIVIDUALS WANTING TO FIND AND/OR IMPROVE THEIR POTENTIAL VOICE! SUCH PROFESSIONALS AS:

NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS! THE VOICE PLAYS A MOST IMPORTANT PART IN ALL INDIVIDUALS IN THE ATTAINMENT OF THEIR GOAL! POOR SPEAKING HABITS CAN BE A VERY STRONG DETRIMENT IN BLOCKING AN INDIVIDUALS WAY OF REACHING THEIR MOST COVETED GOAL!
