- Derrekito, on 10/11/2007, -5/+59I never have learned to use my diaphragm, people have a difficult time understanding/hearing me.
- HunterTV, on 10/11/2007, -4/+233No wonder no one can hear you, that's not where you put a diaphragm.
- EntropyMan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+79Yeah, strange that learning to use your diaphragm correctly can actually _lead_ to parenthood.
- Al3x, on 10/11/2007, -19/+2When you figure it out, you can be a phone sex operator!
- woojoo, on 10/11/2007, -4/+30apparently the server doesn't like my voice.
- tidu, on 10/11/2007, -30/+6I once had a married lady on Teamspeak tell me I have a handsome voice (I was 16)
Her husband was in the same channel... - gamebittk, on 10/11/2007, -15/+3Wow! Great news!
Whats the point of submitting this to a news website? Just for ***** and giggles. - SultanTravi, on 10/11/2007, -8/+52An (apparently) gay guy told me my voice was sexy on Xbox Live.. does that count?
- cr4ft, on 10/11/2007, -1/+73I have this kick ass book called "Change your voice - Change your life" by Dr. Morton Cooper.
It's pretty much one of the oldest books on the subject, teaches you how to breathe using your diaphragm and talk through it.
Had a bunch of exercises in it to. To get your "true voice" you can do a mini-test, say "mmm hhmmmm" (the same gesture used to agree), only do it enthusiastically. Apparently when you feel that little buzz near your noise, that's where your best voice comes from.
I can write more but diggers are probably getting bored already :) - donwilson2, on 10/11/2007, -6/+15I can do the movie trailer voice over guy voice really well and women love it. It also makes my friends laugh over xbox live
- 3dom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+169It's not the sound of my voice that's the problem, it's the ***** that comes out of my mouth.
- ptFoe, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8What does he mean by :
3) Perform the same but this time; say all the different vocals in the alphabet until, all of them sound with the same tone. You may, spot some, that are less bass, than others.
What are the different vocals in the alphabet? - AegisGFX, on 10/11/2007, -5/+26I can make wimmins lay an egg just by saying "Supersize me." at the drive through.
- Metatron197, on 10/11/2007, -5/+18My voice is so sexy it crashed the server
- loveandrockets, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Watching the first rounds of an American Idol season, I love seeing all the people who think they're great singers, when in fact they don't even know about the diaphragm. The voice, like any other instrument, needs training and practice. Idol wannabees breathe with their upper chest and have nasally voices. Not a lick of training or even reading about the voice. Hilarious.

Probably just the wrong town, Walmart supercenters are like a mix between general merchandise and a grocery store, find one in your area at www.walmart.com
/the more you know - arbulus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2The alcohol sales permits in the city that I live in are based on population. 1 beer permit per 1,000 citizens. There are aprox. 60,000 in the city, and since all the permits are taken based on the population, we either have to wait till the city gets 1,000 more people to get another beer permit allowance, or someone has to go out of business. So WalMart here doesn't carry beer. However, two cities over, the ordinances aren't based on the same principle and WalMart there has beer.

- klept, on 10/11/2007, -8/+0@ ether and violen
Ether- the best and most rewarding way for ppl to improve themselves is through their mind. Jesus just because someone gives their opinion does that mean they are elitist? Oh I know, it's not pc to face reality if it doesnt make ppl feel good. Well the sooner ppl face reality the happier they will be. And that goes for my ''godgiven" talent too that you so flatteringly mentioned and is really no big deal. Hey I dont bat a thousand, and if someone is turned off by you there are plenty more opportunties. Not only for me but everyone. Did it ever occur to you how many scams are out there for ppl whose only prob is that they are a little shy.
Violen - So I talk to girls on the phone. I meet girls some place in rl face to face. Cant I do both things. Lol, and sometimes have done both at the same time. Lame dude. Your logic is not only incorrect but your implication inaccurate. You are either not too bright or you are intentionally evasive. Either way will not get you very far in relationships.
Well I see the morons are still on Digg.
- VillaStraylight, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13"You might want to try an experiment. Say yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh long enough while bringing your voice down from the higher pitch to the lowest tone you can."

- Aloyarc, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14I'm interested in the 'correct technique'.
Would you ever so kindly record a clip and post it somewhere for my listening pleasure? - spudnic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8@azdak (#6786531)
Were you doing 1 minute a day or something? You could have got a degree in less time. - klept, on 10/11/2007, -25/+5I agree with az which is probably one reason he is getting dugg down.
Come on guys, and girls. You've either got it or you dont. And if you dont accept life and still enjoy yourself.
For myself, been told already my voice is sexy by girls that only met me on the phone. Others meeting me have thought other things about me were sexy. Yeah I know. I will be dugg down as egotistical and concieted. But based on most of Digg now being nitwits lol I consider that a compliment.
Btw you ever notice how few stories are now being posted about tech and science? I guess the wackos have really taken over digg. This silly story and most of the comments is just one example.
Advice to the lovelorn. Just go out and meet ppl. You'll find someone sexy, and they will think you are sexy too. If it works for you, dont worry what anyone else thinks. But I doubt if anyone on Digg is going to be smart enough to follow this advice. - EtherGnat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24@azdak and klept
Don't be such elitist pricks. We understand that becoming an expert in almost anything takes a tremendous amount of time and effort. Nobody is expecting to become Bing Crosby or Don LaFontaine with a few minutes practice. That doesn't mean you can't see a noticeable improvement in something with just a little bit of effort. Suggesting that personal improvement is worthless unless we practice as much as you or have some God-given talent makes both of you a real dick. - violentvinyl, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11@ Ethergnat
Dugg for mentioning Don LaFontaine. He was interviewed by Whoopi Goldberg on a local radio show here and he was awesome, great voice, great personality.
@ klept
"Just go out and meet ppl"
"by girls that only met me on the phone"
In my best singing VOICE: "One of these things is not like the other..." - asdfasdf, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Simply sitting for 5 minutes daily to do this exercise wouldn't work. The point of it is to make you AWAY of of what you're doing wrong. Then you can correct it slowly as you notice yourself doing it throughout the day. If you spend 10 minutes breathing the right way, and 23 hours 50 minutes doing it wrong, you won't make breathing correctly a habit. This goes for everything.
I have a "self-improvement" routine where I have lots of these little exercises. I do it 3 times a day. Upon waking up, middle of the day and before bed. I also APPLY the exercises throughout the whole day. It's not easy, but you basically want to make being constantly aware of what you're doing wrong a habit.
- Flummoxer, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3My voice is too low as it is.
- Stuntaneous, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20***** yeah, having a low suave voice gets you no where. try chattin someone up in a loud bar, youll be repeating yourself to no end..
- violentvinyl, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@stuntaneous (#6787513)
I'm no Don Juan, but loud bars aren't exactly my first choice for chatting people up. Bars are where I go when I want to get drunk and/or laid.

- shaungc, on 10/11/2007, -5/+15Agreed. I find it quite ironic that he blogs about how to be a better speaker, but can't use proper grammar to do it.
- iamabe, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6i totally agree. and i dont know why you got dugg down, either.
- Swift2, on 10/11/2007, -0/+42Back in my student days, I had to teach an actress to sing a song on stage. She said she was tone-deaf. Actually, I could tell that she wasn't. In fact, I'd say that the great majority of people who say they're tone-deaf just haven't paid enough attention to relaxation and voice production. The way most people talk, it's like standing on a ladder to do jumping jacks. You can't do it that way. Hold your chest tight, and try to make your tones with your throat, and not only do you speak ineffectively, but it's going to be impossible for you to hit a note truly.
How to experience what it's like to produce your voice properly? Lie on the floor. Turn out the lights. Relax your feet, your legs, your butt, your back. When you're completely, totally, relaxed, sing a note. It will be perfectly true.
This used to be seen as a vital part of education, training you to sing and speak. It still is, but our schools fail completely.
And the girl sang the song.- corsairstw, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16That's exactly right. I'm a singer and one of the first breathing exercises my teacher asked me to do was to lie on my back and take deep breaths. All the air was drawn in and pushed out using my diaphragm, the way it is meant to be. I like to tell people who say they can't sing, "You CAN sing. Everyone can sing. You just need to practice." Breathing is a huge part of not only singing, but as the blogger points out, speaking in general.

- Kr4t05, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I've spent 4 years singing in my high school choir. They teach you the same technique when it comes to using your diaphragm properly. One thing that kinda throws it off-kilter is the vowel forming. When you sing choral music, your really forming your vowels. Lately, I've had several people tell me that my voice is sexy, including my ex. So... I guess I'm doing something right.
- corsairstw, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Haha, yeah. Choral singing requires very pure vowels, as opposed to musical theatre singing. I do both and there is a very real difference in the way you resonate the sound.
- mablco, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17i could just picture all the diggers making their "yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh" sounds right now.

How to improve your voice and speech - Voice Coaching
One of my friends, he is really good looking and very fashion savvy. He knows how to match the colors of his trousers with his shirt and knows how to make his hair look really good. For most girls he is considered a visual candy.
So we went out the other day and we were sitting at a bar drinking our beer nicely nicely. Next to us, were two girls, aged around 25 years old. They were throwing quick glances at my friend and one of them was even holding her eye contact. At some point, maybe because of the beer, maybe because I pushed him to, he decided to go and speak to them. I was sitting back; drinking my beer and watching the whole interaction take place.
But because of the distance between the girls and me, I had,
No sound.
It was like watching a silent movie.
He arrives. The girls look at him, all big eyes. He leans over them and open his mouth. And from that point on, everything goes wrong. Girls look at each other. One smiles a bit and soon after that, they start turning their body language away from him. He picked his pride up from the floor and joined me back to finish our bloody beers.
Because my friend has a very particular speech pattern.
Equipped already with a high pitched tone voice, when he is in stress he pushes that even higher. Even if that was not enough… he speaks FAST. And when I say fast, I do not mean, I just-had-a-coffee fast; I mean I just-had-a-speed *blitz* fast.
Seriously John, you sound dreadful.
Voice
One uses it and becomes a politician; another misuses it and can’t order a pizza over the telephone properly.
But as most human tools, voice is also OPEN to improvement and development.
Diaphragm
First of all, you might want to consider how the whole system works and how it doesn’t. Most people think that it is just the vocals that produce the sound. Others believe that the more hard you push the air out of your lungs, the better your voice sounds.
Hell, no.
Your voice is produced by a combination of organs. Your lungs and your diaphragm push the air, which meets the vocal chords and they all together start a series of vibrations.
These vibrations expand through your lungs and mouth cavity. The key word here is resonance. They way you move your mouth, the way you expand your throat and more important, the way you breath with the diaphragm makes the resonance sound high or low.
With the same air speed you can resonate high or you can resonate low.
You might want to try an experiment. Say “yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh” long enough while bringing your voice down from the higher pitch to the lowest tone you can. Keep your air speed steady. You will be able to notice that your voice will resonate in three different places, as you go from high up the frequency scale, to deep down low. First you resonate at the nose, then at your throat and last and more important down at your chest. There is where the bass lies.
Pavarotti, the tenore, sings well because of his much trained diaphragm.
By training you may learn to move your resonant point down your body. That is a good thing. People will pay attention to you more often, because of that.
There was a test and it was found that, people with a deep bass voice that make plenty of pauses and take their time, are way more attractive than all the rest.
Notice also, that what you do here is that you unconsciously control a whole series of organs to bring out an end result: Keep the point of you resonance down to your chest and away from your head.
This is done by trying to breathe deeply from your diaphragm and not shallow from your upper lungs.
You see, all babies and animals breath using the diaphragm. As we stress and move on in life, we make the error and start breathing shallower. For some reason in the western society there is a misunderstanding that the image of strong man, is to breath through his chest. So many people when asked to take a deep breath they start by expanding the upper part of the lungs. Well my friend, if you want to have a big chest, go to the gym. Breathing high will only make you less calm and will make your voice, sound more defensive.
Normally a high pitched voice reminds us of being less calm. Remember the first time you spoke in public or last time you were defending your self; your voice was, a pitch higher.
If you want to stay calm keep your breathing deep and your voice as bass as it can go. This will stop any unwanted positive stress feedback phenomena.
Exercises.
Now, in order to be de-programmed of this bad way of breathing, you will need up to several months. But it can be done. There are some exercises that do exactly that.
Strengthen your diaphragm awareness exercises.
1) Inhale from your diaphragm. Push your stomach up like a balloon. Count silently 1-2-3-4 while inhaling. Count 4-3-2-1 silently while exhaling. This should not be done more than 6 times per day.
2) Inhale from the diaphragm deeply. Exhale slowly. So slowly, if there was a candle in front of you, you wouldn’t blow it.
Resonance
1) Inhale deeply again. Exhale slowly, while resonating from you chest. You should feel the resonance down to your belly. Not from the nose or the throat. Your exhale should be stable with no tone changes and with no added effort.
2) Perform the same, but this time start visualising, that the resonance point looks like an elevator going up and down, from your nose to your chest.
3) Perform the same but this time; say all the different vocals in the alphabet until, all of them sound with the same tone. You may, spot some, that are less bass, than others.
Speech rhythm
4) Try and find something and read it out loud while keeping at 160 words per minute.
5) Give feelings to your words. Hit at least two tones. A monotone is BORING voice, to listen to.

- ChimeraHero, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Well after reading the article, I feel more enlightened. I had always tried to use my throat and chest to direct voice. I just spent the entire night consciously trying to speak and sing some Sinatra using my diaphragm rather than my upper chest and throat. Having spent just a little bit of time like that, I can hear a vast change in my voice. Almost like my voice has taken on a velvety tone.
I do believe this is something I am going to research and pursue further.- asdfasdf, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Record your voice and play it back. Keep records and compare week old files to hear the change.

- clayh, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1There are, way too many, unnecessary commas, in that article.
- silent, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1John's voice might have contributed to the problem, but it was more likely what he said and his lack of confidence due to his buddies picking on his voice.
- perseon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I guess I have a Hugo Weaving/Keith David-type voice.
