Do people tell you that you are loud?Is this annoying them or you?Do you worry about the sound of your voice?Raising your voice isn't always the best way to be heard.This article is for people who find themselves in glares in public places because they are too loud.
Step 1: Listen more than speak.
Being an active listener will take the competition out of your conversations.Don't listen to what the other person is saying.Don't interrupt.Don't think about what you want to say next, listen to what they are saying.You can be involved in the conversation on an even playing field if you don't raise your voice over theirs.
Step 2: You can control your environment.
It is possible to increase the volume of your voice by changing the elements in your environment.You will feel less need to speak loudly if you adjust the environment to be ideal for hearing what you are saying.Close windows and doors to get rid of sounds outside.If you are talking to someone, move closer to them.It is more likely that you will need to raise your voice if you are too far away from your audience.Speak in a small room.You may feel the need to speak up in large rooms.Small rooms can be used for quieter communication.
Step 3: Communication skills can be used to be assertive.
Your opinions should be heard.If you feel that the other person isn't listening, communicate assertively without raising your voice.Meet the other person.Try to understand where they are coming from and let them know that you get it by saying something like, "I know you are busy right now, so I will be quick."It doesn't mean you dislike the person if you disagree with them.There is no need to disrespect them.If there isn't a solution in sight, you can end the conversation and walk away.
Step 4: Assimilate the group.
When speaking with a group of people, there is an urge to talk over each other.The volume of the entire group's speech will increase as people continue to make mistakes in a group.Speak over someone instead of waiting for your chance to be heard.Body language can be used to indicate that you want to speak.Try shaking your head or raising a finger.Before someone else jumps in, make your point quickly.
Step 5: Take a breath from the diaphragm.
Put your hand at the top of your stomach and the bottom of the rib cage.Try to make your hand rise using your breath.If you put your breath in the right place, you won't have to speak from your nose, chest or mouth.Loud and grating forcing breath from these places.You can vocalize from the place where you are resting your hand if you have the breath in.
Step 6: You should relax your throat.
It's possible to try to force the sound out of your throat if you have tension in your neck.If you want to relax your voice, take a deep breath.To assess the tension in your throat, place one hand on your neck.Take in a large yawn by dropping your jaw as low as you can.The air should be released slowly with a gentle hum.When you begin to feel your throat relax, repeat this several times.If you feel that your neck is getting tighter, massage it throughout the process.
Step 7: You can change your volume level.
This will help you be heard.The effect of tuning the speaker out is caused by speaking at the same volume.This could make the speaker even louder.Try to vary your volume level.Creating variety in your volume will allow you to be more aware of the effect on your audience.Speak at a whisper.When someone asks you to speak up, make your voice quieter.If you want to emphasize a word, raise your volume only on it.That pizza was the best.
Step 8: List the help of someone else.
It can be hard to hear yourself.You could hire a coach to be an outside ear.They can help you learn how to control your voice with some exercises.Asking a friend to give you feedback is not an option at this time.Voice coaches can lead you through breathing exercises, as well as running through the range of pitch and volume with your voice.Ask a friend if they have noticed a difference if you are working on your own.They can point out when you raise your voice.Don't get angry when they point it out.They are trying to help you.
Step 9: Speak to yourself.
Through air and bone sound can reach the inner ear.The sound you hear when you speak is usually a combination of the two pathways.Some people are more sensitive to one than the other.There is no bone-conducted sound that can be created by listening to a recording of yourself.When you listen to a recording of yourself, your voice sounds different.If you want to eliminate the sound from air, try wearing earplugs.The bone transfer of sound to the point where you can hear the automatic systems of the body like breathing and moving your eyes can be affected by an abnormality in the inner ear.Eliminate one of the pathways and see if it has an effect on your hearing.
Step 10: Take a test of your hearing.
It's a sign of hearing loss to speak too loudly.Difficult hearing when there is a lot of background noise and understanding what people are saying is one of the signs of sensorineural hearing loss.Get your hearing checked if you are experiencing these symptoms.
Step 11: Assess your competitors.
People in positions of power are often trained to speak loudly and with authority, but it also comes naturally to some who have been assigned or considered to be in a high position.Where are you ranked in power?What is happening to the people around you?Do you think it would be beneficial to reduce your vocal intensity?
Step 12: Do you know your motives?
Some people speak loudly because they don't feel heard.Constantly repeating yourself is a reaction to this feeling.The cause of speaking loudly could be related to your need to have your thoughts heard.
