Professional Women's Speaking Issues
Women have unique voice issues that sometimes need to be addressed. Even in the 21st Century, we find many women were raised to be polite, quiet, and nice in order to conform to society's expectations. In today's business world, this does not work. Something as simple as making a declarative statement without an upward lilt at the end can have a significant effect on succeeding.
On the other extreme some women, in trying to affect a particular persona, may produce a voice that is higher or lower than their natural speaking range. Or they may speak louder in an attempt to speak with more authority, but without backing it up with the right breath support. Both of these strategies can cause vocal fatigue and possible damage to the vocal cords.
Through individual or group sessions ClearSpeak can analyze and modify your speaking patterns to help you become a more assertive and powerful speaker, while maintaining your vocal health. (See Voice Training)
