Breathing with a relaxed belly has been a gamechanger for me. For years I've had the habit of walking around with tensed abs. Now I'm breathing properly the difference in how I feel is crazy. Now I feel totally relaxed and peaceful. So if you are someone who has social anxiety make sure you do have a relaxed belly because it really does make a massive difference

Man this helped a lot, I got tired of my dad calling me a bitch for not speaking loud enough.

Directly to the point & well spoken, I deeply appreciate when someone doesn't speak out of both sides of their mouth saying a bunch of nonsense instead getting straight to the point to which this Gentleman does,Well Spoken & Bravo. Semper Fidelis. Rooster P.Kock 🐓

I feel like my speaking voice entirely consists of bad habits and form. I’m a mumbler, and I don’t move my lips/tongue/jaw enough when I speak so things like my “b” “p” “s” and “t” sounds are poorly enunciated. i have a deep voice but it almost entirely comes from my head/upper throat. Lots of vocal fry. And my default volume is quiet, even though I feel like I’m speaking at a normal volume. Whether it’s true or not, I’ve always felt like my speaking voice knocks me down a few social pegs, and affects how others view me. Hopefully training myself to speak from my diaphragm instead of the middle of my head will be a good start in presenting my internal self to others.

RU-vid searched for paralinguistics.. this video came up. The way you delivered the content, the context and knowing what the f*** ones is going to talk about; being highlighted is excellent. I want to learn more from you. Thank you for doing this, taking the time out of your day, editing your videos and helping us all "look after our voices".

After wasting much of 2020 thinking I needed to tone my abdominals in order to improve my breath support… I appreciate you making it clear that flexibility and stretching and lengthening are more important.

Hey man, I'm just happy I found this channel. Eventually, I know I will improve my voice thanks to this

I am just 15, but I know for a fact that if you want to have the whole room's attention you have to stop giving in and stop putting a fake layer on your personality, speak with your chest, talk about relevant ideas and something interesting. If they enjoy what you said, found it funny etc. There is no reason they won't listen to you again. And what I mean by giving in is like if I give an example this girl xyz in my class always says I am sorry even if it wasn't her fault, u don't have to be apologetic, but there is a line which you cannot cross when you are speaking. Also try including as many people as you can when you are talking about something that happened, for instance last week.

As someone with a stammer diaphragm breathing is very important to improve the flow of speech

This is one really honest video on Improving your voice. Thank you❤️

I was just watching an Adam Curtis documentary and then this bit about 'authority' You're right! He's got a fairly deep voice it seems but whatever he said had such a powerful impact.

Video was well made and very informative. I have now learned how to speak like a pushy car salesman. That'll come in handy, I'm sure.

Hey, I don't know if you can help me out but here's my story and question - I lived as a introvert for all of my childhood and early teens. I usually didn't used to speak to anyone at all. At my house or anyone at my school cause I didn't had any friends lol. So I did had anyone to talk to and thus never had a chance to express my opinions and have a meaningful conversation. All I ever talked about was casual. Also I was not popular in my school and sometimes even abused there. So all this had made me confined only in my thoughts. Wherever I speak it's unclear and with my observation my mouth doesn't even completely opens up. It's so annoying and embarrassing when people say that they didn't really got what I was saying cause I was too fast and unclear. I got suggestions to open my mouth when I speak which I unconsciously can't. I cannot speak a word meaningful if I'm in a uncomfortable situation or in a new environment. Please help me out. What's the thing I should work on? I do not want to become a voice artist etc. I just want to express myself and my emotions to the fullest.

You have given such a simple yet significant solution, relaxed belly ☺️☺️☺️ thanks alot !

My problem isn't about how authoritative i want to be My problem is that I'm a Water Polo coach and i am in a constant shouting position explaining a bunch of idiots how to do a technique correctly and not performing any fouls What should i do in this situation to not damage my vocal chord? I think the better question is: how to shout and speak loudly without damaging your throat?

authority of the voice to me seems to come from the confidence people use to say something. they feel comfortable giving full stops when they assert something or when they rebuff you because they know they don't need to keep their guard up or give themselves room to pivot if they're wrong, because they know they're right.

Shoot...my belly is demanding food now

You have really helped. I do have ONE charge against you though... that you did not scream this channel from the rooftops. Lol. Wish I had seen this before, but no time like the present!

Confidence. That's so true. Thank you.

Great points in a short and sweet video! Thank you!

Sir I am suffering from muscle tension dysponia since 6 months. Neck muscles are tight whenever I try to speak. ENT doctors said only voice therapy is useful for me. There is no problem in my vocal cards. Day progressive I am getting whispering and tired voice. Please suggest. Are you taking voice therapy on online? Please let me know.

I’m learning this to sound like a Drill instructor

Excellent video, thanks so much

HI WALTER WHITE! IM A HUGE FAN

I’ve been trying to speak from the diaphragm. I’m still confused to this. Hopefully this will help me.

I think I just accidentally learned to throat sing while trying to us my diaphragm and vocals at the same time😭😅🙏

Thanks for the concise response

OMG WALTER WHITE I LOVE YOU IM YOU #1 FAN

I lost at that charism matrix parody 😂😂, great and helpful video

This was so obvious and funny, lol.

People say that my voice sounds a bit drowsy and lazy. What can I do to improve this?

I think you said more than enough, but still I watched it & want to thank you for the helpful tips

I'm curious how you sound Darren in a regular conversation or when you're not explaining something.

I have a weak out of shaped abdominal stomach for personal issues and some other issues relating to my health that explain why I have monotonous and shaky or unbalanced and weak voice also constantly dehydrated or have too much Siliva effecting the way I speak.

I'm still confused... HOW do i know whether im breathing from my belly or not...

The diaphram does NOT contract when you exhale. It contracts when you inhale and relaxes when you exhale.

I just imagine a mouth in my belly, that kind of works for me 😅

6 minutes and im still confused 🥱

People always complain me that i speak through my nose and my voice is like i have got cold.totally disappointed

Very Underrated channel 😔😔😔😞 i hope you'll reach high, we r here to support uhh 💖💖

Another excellent video drop 🤧🔥💯

4:04 😂😂 This is how I sound trying to use my diaphragm

Watch it in 1.5 speed ........ You're welcome

I'm way too squeamish. Hearing about the guts and such made just the act of breathing sound gross to me. 😂😂😂 Damn. I can't be the only one. But I'm still listening to the expertise.

Thank you for this

Thank you sir

Are singing breathing etc exercises just as relevant for speaking or are they separate things? I'm only interested in speaking voice improvement but ur website seems like it's geared toward helping singers.. actually pretty much everything relevant on RU-vid seems like it's geared toward singing. Annoying. Ppl have to talk everyday throughout the day. Nobody needs to sing. Why is singing the focus

thanks for nothing.

why do you need to speak from your belly when you can speak from your mouth?

Thank u I need Ur videos a lot

You basically didn't give any tips on how to use diafragm when speaking instead of speaking from the throat

I was searching for how do they talk from stomach without moving lips in puppet show & what I get is this 😭

the banana's in the back are perfect for bananabread

What a great video

Good.... How to speak fast & clear like you???

Thanks

life changer 😍😍😍😍😍

Good to know

How did/do you relax your belly?

Thanks man!

how do i talk in my traought

"pushy idiot" HAHHAHAHA

Can you please post a video "How to do a woman's voice"

It originated from Indians hindu(sanatan) 🙏🔥

So did this dude actually explain how to speak from belly or did i miss it?

What kind of advice would you give to someone like me? I have severe scoliosis of the spine, it is shaped like a capital letter S. Because of this, it has given me a bit of a cross between a caveman & the Hunchback of Notre Dame. How would you advise someone like me to speak from my diaphragm, despite of my scoliosis?

There’s proven evidence that breathing from the “stomach” rather than your chest has a calming effect and such. You didn’t really say anything here.

Make it more practice and less talk so that it becomes much more helpful. And you’re welcome

❤❤❤

To be honest, I didn't really find this helpful. I also felt the video was way longer than it needed to be. It is labeled "how to speak from your belly," yet he goes on the entire time to talk around the issue, tell us what it isn't, only to conclude with instructing us to go to his website. I feel his other videos are probably better.
