VOICE: A Minute With John Maxwell, Free Coaching Video

As a former on-air personality, I understand the value of our VOICE. When sound is all you have to work with...clear articulation, enunciation, inflection, intonation and modulation are of utmost importance.

In production, there are many fancy tools with which to ensure professionalism. Many of the sound effects you hear on a commercial come from bending and stretching the voice and playing with the pitch. That's a lot of fun.

What always amazes me are the number of uses for the human voice. We announce and pronounce, speak and sing, ululate and yodel, utter and mutter, murmur and complain, talk and shout, praise and proclaim.

The BEST use for our VOICE is to express love to others, to offer words of encouragement, and to speak up and VOICE our concerns for those who cannot do so for themselves.

Very Often I Communicate Empathically.

Having a VOICE is not something that should ever be taken for granted. I am grateful to have a VOICE and I very much empathize with those who have APHASIA, whose ability to comprehend and communicate is impaired.

Today, friends, ensure that your Vocal Output Is Clearly Expressed.
