How to project your voice when speaking | Techniques to speak from diaphragm | Vocal Projection

[@mrblackace3]

Finally a video that actually goes right into what we came for and not giving the 1000 year history behind it or even worse explaining how women love it and you'll be a chad.

[@GarenTee]

HAHA. You are humorous. Thanks for your kind words! :)

[@Kinobambino]

Now I'm walking around town shouting HO HO HO at people. Thanks man!

[@GarenTee]

HO HO HO! hahaha. You made me think that Santa Claus must have loud and clear voice since he HO HO HO all the time. :p

[@asmrhealwav.5321]

Hey santa

[@yishaithegift9953]

I went yelling HO! HO! HO! Inside of the nail salon...one woman joined in...with great projection she yelled. "Yo mama a HO! HO! HO!" 🤦🏿‍♂️

Im a goalkeeper. Communication is really important. My Coach says I’m not loud enough because I speak through my throat and need to speak through my diaphragm. I never really understood that until I saw this video. Your video was magical, and Im blown away by the difference it makes! So thank you :)

[@GarenTee]

I am flattered :) Thank you so much for letting me know. Please do continue to practice and show cast your beautiful voice :)

[@miyuki_markers3211]

this video was great!!! now that we have to wear masks, my naturally quiet voice has been literally impossible for people to hear me at my job....but this technique helped alot, so thank very much!!!! feels like I'm getting an ab workout every time i talk though lol

[@GarenTee]

THANK YOU for sharing with me. Yes if you feel your stomach/abs moving when you speak/sing/project, then you are doing it correctly! well done!

[@laurielauren]

I hope this helps me too I’m in the exact situation and it is painful beyond belief

[@HaziJuzaili]

I don't know if you'll see this comment since it's an old video but I've been speaking/singing with my throat my whole life that it hurts every time I speak/sing now. As a solution, since I can't afford a vocal coach/speech therapist, I spent a lot of my time looking for tutorials like this on KZbin but until now I never really get them. Like what is "try to relax, connect with your words, and project your voice"... But anyways, I am so happy to find this video! Your explanation is very clear that I am finally able to understand how it's like to speak from my diaphragm. I felt it! My throat did not hurt when I speak at all while doing the exercises! I'm always known to have a very small/quiet voice when I speak so it's really hard to socialize. But holy macaroni was I loud when I tried it! Thank you so much! Now all that's left to do is to train myself to make this as a habit. Hopefully this can help heal my very very damaged vocal chords too! I've subscribed! Idk if you're interested but I do hope that you'll make more videos on this! Like what other exercises or practices that I can be mindful of! Thank you so much!!

[@GarenTee]

Hi Hazi! Thank you so much for your words and encouragement. I AM SO HAPPY this video helps!!! :) Please share with everyone your result after consciously practicing it. Would love to hear from you again too.

By far one of the best videos on projecting your voice.

[@GarenTee]

Thank you Frank!!! :)))

[@lizard1515]

This is the best video that explains how to use your diaphragm to breathe. I've watched other videos on this topic, but this entire time, I've still been breathing from my chest. Your explanation about the stomach being like a balloon and "when breathing in, your stomach should expand" made me realize that. When I inhale naturally, my stomach goes in, so I had no idea that I still wasn't using my diaphragm. My already soft voice gets drowned out even more by masks these days, and people at my job can't hear me and it's very frustrating and embarrassing when I have to constantly repeat myself. I hope these exercises will help me be able to project my voice better. Thank you so much!

[@helloiammahdi]

Any updates?

[@hanhdoan9101]

This is the best demonstration I've seen. Other videos just say to breathe in and out but when I start talking, I can't keep consciously think to breathe from my diaphragm. But these exercises help to develop muscle memory so I'll just do it automatically when I talk. Thanks for the video!

When we know our weaknesses then only we can improve them. You know your pacing could be an issue, then work on it. articulate words properly and project your voice. There is a will, there is a way, Go for it Amit! never give up!

[@madeofstarlight22]

I always hear speakers talk so clear and loudly, and I wondered how do they do that cause my voice is grainy when I speak. Tysm for this video, now I know I must use my diaphragm. Also I heard that pun! "I guarantee (Garen Tee) you, vocal projection will be a piece of cake" :) Oh, one question - since your voice is louder and clearer using diaphragm, do you talk everyday like this all the time? Or is it just during public speaking?

[@GarenTee]

Hi Alia, you need to consciously practice using diaphragm to speak. Personally I started using it when speaking in public. Then I apply this in normal conversation. It takes time and efforts to master it :)

[@madeofstarlight22]

[@phangsh9917]

hello Garen, Just want to drop by and say that this video was a very helpful practice for me. I would like to ask if when we speak from the diaphragm, are we using our stomach muscles at the same time? And i would also like to ask for advice for pausing to breathe every few sentences to avoid shortness of breathe :)

[@GarenTee]

Hello SH, personally sometimes I use stomach muscles to assist me doing that. So I would say yes, we do use part of our stomach muscles when speaking or singing from diaphragm. BREATHING is another key in speaking. When and where you should pause to breathe would depend on your speaking style. If you run out of breath easily, then keep your sentence short or train yourself for that breath to last longer. In a long sentence, trick is find a nice spot to have that mini-pause to breathe (without people noticing). Pay conscious attention on your breathing and consciously improve it. Common problem is that people are out of breath at the last few words in a sentence. He/She would sound weak/soft. If you face this issue, then you might want to see at which point you want to have that mini-pause to breathe. Or do some stamina training exercise to make your breath last longer :)

Fantastic video I always get lots of straining in my throat and voice doesn't project I am always using my stomach muscles to move diaghram. Any advice I am pushing my stomach more with my mind than breath.

[@GarenTee]

I found one way to use diaphragmic breathing easily, that is when I sing. consciously breathe and sing using stomach/diaphragm. Then try the same feeling/muscle memory for speaking. I also notice that Standing up while Speaking can help us better us diaphragm too.

I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong because I don’t feel like I’m using my diaphragm because I don’t hear any differences

[@GarenTee]

If you talk for a long period of time, you would definitely can tell the different. If you throat gets dry after speaking for 20-30 minutes, then you are not using diaphragm. Likewise practice it consciously, one day you surely can tell the difference

Hi Langenheim, if speaking 2 phrases will get your throat sore and burned, suggest you reach out for professional helps (e.g. doctor) as that's very uncommon. Don't be afraid to seek for such help, I know you are serious in making it work.

How to know if my voice is projecting from diaphragm because voice comes from throat and it vibrates.

[@GarenTee]

Before we speak or sing, we breathe first (automatically) to get in air for our vocal cord to generate voice. Diaphragm helps us breathe fully and deeply. I once heard this "Breath is so important for the voice because it is the voice". That's why we need to master diaphragmic breathing to project our voice.

[@adrianneangus3603]

very informative! Thank you so much! looking forward for more tips from you! 👍

[@aqibhuda7652]

When I try to focus more on my breathing from diaphragm while speaking I start to feel abdominal bloating, my breath then becomes improper and my stomach starts hurting like I haven't breathing from decades. Sometimes I feel heaviness and tightness in my stomach when I focus more on breathing I don't know what to do. Please help, suggest any video for all the above mentioned scenario.

Stammering exercise please

[@GarenTee]

I have helped a kid with his stammering issue. typically it's due to nervousness or expressing too fast. What the person needs to do is to slow down - avoid speaking too fast, that's first step. Then record down how many stammers in a day and compare from day to day. If there is improvement, that's good. if not then tell himself/herself to slow down further. This takes a lot of conscious efforts to achieve and eliminate this issue. if the situation doesn't improve, it's then time to seek professional help from Speech Therapist. They will assist properly :)

[@Renaldo015]

So basically singing but speaking

[@GarenTee]

It's in fact yes. You grasp the idea.

[@thevoiceharmonic]

It is anatomically impossible to speak from the diaphragm as it is a muscle that only allows breathing in and has nothing to do with breathing out. In particular, when maximum air is expelled, the diaphragm is maximum rounded. Flatness is only achieved when maximum breath. To project your voice will require controlling the voice box - how hard you push, how tight you hold and how much air you let through. This sound is then amplified by the throat space, the mouth space, or the combination of both. Look up my channel for videos. The loudest sounds of 110dB will require the musical combination of resonance and voice box control
