Do you have trouble projecting your voice?
- People in meetings don't hear you, or they talk over you.
- Others think you sound unsure, even when you know your topic well.
- When you try to speak louder, your throat gets tired or sore.
- Your voice gets quiet at the end of your sentences.
How voice projection works
A voice that carries uses three things together:
- Breath support: steady air, so your voice stays strong to the end of the sentence.
- Resonance: letting the sound ring in your mouth and face, so your voice is louder with less effort.
- Healthy voicing: using your vocal cords efficiently, so you can speak for a long time without strain.
Pushing harder with your throat makes you louder for a moment, but it tires your voice quickly. Good technique gives you volume you can keep up all day.
How I help you project your voice
In private voice training, we start with how you breathe and speak now. Then I give you exercises for breath, resonance and voicing, and we practice them in the situations that matter to you, like meetings, presentations and phone calls. You get feedback on every exercise, so you know you're doing it right.
English Pro also includes my voice course, Six Steps to a Stronger Voice.

Common questions about voice projection
What are the most common problems with voice projection?
The most common are not being heard in meetings, sounding less confident than you are, losing your listeners' attention, and a tired or sore throat from trying to speak louder without good technique.
