2023.08.23 – 0965 – The ‘Thin’ Voice
Thin voice
Symptom: A voice which is weak, with a lack of air, energy and resonance. It may lack authority.
Prescription:
· It may be trained to become stronger and fuller. Review the advice about relaxation to reduce tension, better breathing skills and breath control, and increasing resonance in your voice.
· A thin voice may also be down to starting at too high a register which is leading to poor resonance and running out of breath … both of which lead to nervousness and hence a higher pitch. (Look back at the advice for ‘a nervous voice’ and listen back to episode 277.)
· A different kind of mic, its placement or the acoustics of a room may help to a small extent. There’s a lot of advice on this from episode 513.
