What to Do If You Don't Like Your Voice | Public Speaking Video Lecture | Public Speaking: Learn and Boost your Confidence (English) - Communication

so what should you do if you hate your
voice
well for starters realize everybody
hates their voice here's why when you
hear your voice coming out of a TV or a
voice recorder or voicemail you're
hearing your voice in a non distorted
way whereas all day long when you hear
your voice when you hear yourself
talking you're hearing your voice
distorted through the bones in your
skull it's distorting the sound so when
you hear your voice coming out of a TV
or coming out of a loudspeaker you're
hearing it for the first time in an
undistorted way it's not your image of
your own voice and that's what's
disorienting so it's not that you have
an awful voice it's just jarring because
that's not the image you have of your
own voice here's the reality of voices
there are three types of voices in the
world there's the bottom point
ooo 1% of voices and their voices are so
awful so bad
they open their mouth people leave the
room take it from me that's not what
your voice sounds like I've trained tens
of thousands of executives all over the
world for nearly 30 years and I've had
exactly one person with a voice that bad
now there's another type of voice this
is the top 0.0001 percent of people
their voices are so distinctive
so honeyed so memorable that all they
have to do is roll out of bed in the
morning tape one radio commercial or TV
commercial get their million-dollar
check and go back to bed
that's rare I don't have that voice
chances are you don't have that voice
then there's everyone else the 99.999%
of us where our voices are perfectly
fine nobody listens to our voice that
instantly loves it or instantly hates it
it's simply a method for communicating
so you got to just get over it just get
over you've got bigger problems than
your voice because chances are your
voice is fine but your speech might
actually be boring or unmemorable so
let's focus on bigger challenges let's
actually
sure we have an interesting memorable
speech and your voice will take care of
itself the other way of dealing with
this is if you practice enough on video
you will get used to hearing your voice
and it will no longer bother you
