RHYTHM
HARMONY
Harmony teaches that your voice has
an emotional effect on others. The most
important thing you can learn for improving
your communication skills and your ability
to have successful outcomes, whether
it’s getting your dream job or your dream
relationship, is that the sound of your voice
has an immediate, emotional impact on your
listener, more so than any other feature. It can
create instant rapport or recoil, purely based
on sound. Record yourself! I know this may
feel scary at first. Still, it’s non-negotiable.
You must hear yourself as others do. If you
don’t like what you hear, find a voice coach
you trust and enlist her help. It can change
your life!
SILENCE
Silence can be the most challenging of
all voice elements because it requires
surrender. Accept that you do not need to fill
every moment with sound. All communication
begins and ends in silence. Engage with
the power of the pause. Before you speak,
connect to your audience using your eyes.
Smile. Look for the people who smile back.
Your Spirit
THE MAGICAL 5TH ELEMENT:
Your spirit is the key that opens the door of
possibility. Each of us is an incomparable
creation. All of our expression is formed by
our individual recollections and experiences
of life.
Contemplate nature’s voice elements
periodically. Are you remaining true to your
Melody? Do you manage the Rhythm of your
life or is your calendar in charge? Do to live in
Harmony with yourself, your community and
the world? What inspiration can be found in
Silence? How can you empower others by
sharing your voice?
Every day is a microcosm of Mother Nature’s
elemental wisdom. We wake up, we get
going, we wind down and we rest. Bringing
your voice into alignment with nature is a
giant leap forward in your voice evolution.
Allow yourself to blossom as you invite the
voice elements into each day. The reward
will astonish you.

Creating vocal interest is most easily done by
adjusting your speed and articulation. Many
of us are lax with sounding the consonants
L, D and T. To get a sense of the speed
and clarity with which you speak say these
consonants in combination with the vowel
“ah”. For example: La-La-La-La-La. La-La-
La-La-La-La. Try it with D, then try T. Did the
tip fo your tongue touch the gum line behind
your two front teeth? It should. Practice
varying your speed and changing vowels
(a,e,i,o,u) to make it more interesting and fun.
Make them your focal point while you gain
confidence. Our world is so noisy! I urge you
to make a commitment to silence even if it’s
only for five minutes before you fall asleep
each night.
