0815 – Relaxation From Tension

2023.03.26 – 0815 – Relaxation From TensionThe flip side of tension is relaxation. Hopefully you will have seen by now how so many parts of the body are involved in creating the sound we call voice: your spine, various ligaments and muscles – some as small as the vocal folds in your throat, some large and powerful such as your diaphragm. And ‘relaxation of the mechanism’ is the key to have these work to support your voice, its construction and projection.Better relaxation leads to better presentation – but that’s easier said than done, with deadlines to meet, stories breaking, talking to time, important clients watching you through the glass, and the occasional breakdown of the technical setup.Relaxation with concentration (you’ll be no good if you’re practically asleep!), will soften your voice, help it be more resonant, help you breathe better and reach the end of phrases and sentences, all of which will lead to more confidence and fewer verbal trips and slips. Proper posture helps you prepare. Health reminderThese exercises can only be a general guide.You know your body the best. Well, you and a health professional.
