When a conversation didn't go the way you wanted...you usually blame it on something else - the other person, the product, price, bad timing...they’re the problem.
You rarely look inward.
What if one small change in your delivery & listening could change the conversation & provide the outcome you desire.
People who have poor speaking voices – the kind that may frustrate you, are hard to understand or set your teeth on edge; you simply stop listening too – and the bigger issue is you are almost ALWAYS unaware of this?
It didn’t even enter your mind that your delivery was responsible for why the conversation didn’t go the way you wanted.
Most of us have had no formal vocal training; you’ve been speaking this way...what...since you were 2 & simply think its part of 'who you are' or may really want to change a quality that is not serving you well but have no clue how to do it.
THEATRICAL TAPESTRY WILL GIVE YOU TANGIBLE TOOLS TO UNLOCK YOUR FULL POTENTIAL.
It’s human nature for us to simply believe everyone understands us and is ENCHANTED with everything we have to say.
Take responsibility for how others hear you.
common issues you are often unaware of…
quality of your voice interpreted as 'you are uninterested, low energy, arrogant or bitchy'
mumbling - not opening your mouth properly
speaking too fast or too slow
too soft, low voice or booming, grating voice
saying 'um' and 'like' - interfere with your credibility
speaking in a monotone voice

improper intonation and rhythm
syllable stress errors

“choppy” or “mechanical” sounding speech – not connecting words like native speakers do
