OBSERVE YOURSELF: Get to know your own voice and hear it. You can become your own voice coach by observing vocal ticks that you have which aren’t flattering e.g. clicking, wet noises. It may also be the case that you use certain words too often which can be annoying. Observe and make subtle changes.

FILM YOURSELF: Often people don’t like watching themselves on a video or listening to an audio recording of themselves because they hate the sound of their voice. But it’s important to face up to these fears. Film yourself speaking and then watch the video back to see how you look when you’re speaking naturally and improve. (DO NOT just talk in the mirror and observe because you are able to see how you look when you speak in real time and change instantly)

CONSIDER CHANGING YOUR PITCH: Consider making your pitch high or low – both have their advantages. A high pitch can (e.g. Victoria Beckham and Holly Willoughby) sound feminine and ladylike. Jade observes how Victoria Beckham has changed the pitch and become more soft-spoken over the years to reflect her more refined brand. But a relatively low pitch (e.g. Cara Delevingne and Gigi Hadid) can sound dominant, fiesty and sassy. It lends to these models’ attractiveness. Try a few different pitches to work out your best voice but do not go over a certain frequency as it can sound baby-like.

BREATHE: Make sure you breathe properly before you speak so you don’t run out of air and sound nervy. This is a common mistake people make when talking.

GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO BE EXPRESSIVE: Don’t be scared to let your personality shine through your voice. Pick tips from other people who hold attention when they speak. For example, Cara Delevingne constantly changes her tone as if her voice is walking up or down a flight of stairs when she is telling a story. Even Katie Price employs high variance in tones which gives her voice a gripping quality and makes you want to listen.
