Great advice Jay! I did not learn about speaking on the out breath until I saw your previous video on slowing down speech for better communication. That was so helpful for me. Thanks!
@@voiceandspeech hey if u are reading this, can u please guide me on how to breathe out while speaking. I realised that it doesnt happen natural for me. when I put my hand right in front of my mouth while speaking, I dont quite feel that column of air coming out as opposed to when I just breathe out without speaking. and then i try to consciously breathe out a column of air while speaking but it feels weird when I need to articulate different words in a sentence at the same time
@@dendi1076 That's a great observation on your part, and you're experimenting in exactly the right way, but starting with sentences is too big for a first step. Start with extended vowel sounds (ay, I, oh, ow). When you can move breath forward on single vowels, try extending simple words (way, why, whoa, wow). When that's working, move to phrases (go away, say hello, wave goodbye) and then short sentences. It will definitely feel weird at first but that's always true when you're learning a new skill. After a few weeks (months?) of practice you might be able to apply it to a conversation for brief periods of time. You've got the right idea, but you need to take smaller steps and give it more time.
Jay, thanks for this useful video. I found the mechanical explanation using the wind instrument metaphor really helpful. Great advice as always over the years! Thanks.
I struggle so much to have a generous breath while speaking, it's like I always trigger muscles to help it out, which causes me to become restricted. Is it an okay exercise to take the inhale, and then start to exhale first, then add voice a split second after the initiation of the exhale? I have found that it does help to encourage generous breathing. I just don't know if it's bad for my vocal cords or not.
I like the way you're approaching this, making observations and experimenting. That makes me very confident you're going to figure it out. When it comes to using a generous breath while speaking, I think that lip flutters ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AR-ow2e7lzE.html and straw phonation ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0zJEAemrubw.html are great ways to reinforce that feeling of using breath to produce sound/speech.
Good observation. It's impossible to vocalize without breath coming out. The problem is most people don't have enough breath flowing for optimal voice.
Hî helLø sir myself SHehßY kHaN I'm from Pakistan 🇵🇰 your Subscriber ☺️😊... Sir I have this problem That I'm a Cluttering patient..my rate of speech is very very fast . ... a fluency disorder.... sometimes people couldn't understand me and then say What's wRonG with you or what r u trying to say...I means to say that I m a clutter I don't know how to cure it there is a lot of videos and articles on the Google and RU-vid but till now it didn't have worked ...I'm still clutter .....I'm so so worry about my this very fast speaking disorder..bcz due to this I couldn't be able to deliver my messages naturally while speaking I try my best to Speak clear and try to say all words clearly but then it take much time to speak a single word too while speaking and you know opponent haven't much time to wait for your message where u r in a problem to deliver it naturally like others I tryy my best but all in vain .... and then my confidence level become very low...sir I don't know what to do and how to do?😔😔
I've heard of cluttering and read a bit about it, but it's not within my area of expertise. I recommend getting some advice from a speech therapist. I do get the sense that you might be expecting results too quickly. You might want to go back to some of those exercises that didn't seem to work and do them daily for 3-6 months if you haven't already. It takes weeks and months of diligent practice to change the speed of your speech. There's no quick cure, unfortunately. You could also check out this free mini course ovyaea31.pages.infusionsoft.net/ Practice those exercises for at least a month and see if things start improving. If so, you might find a more complete course of training to be helpful.
You could start with this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QxpR2_gwUEY.html. If that makes sense to you, you could enroll in this free mini course for fast talkers ovyaea31.pages.infusionsoft.net/. Let me know if you have questions.
@@voiceandspeech I can't inhale while speaking, but can exhale only.... I tried dear tutor. It feels funny to me. This experiment is so soothing, bcs I do something for the first time. So when to inhale while speaking???
@@voiceandspeech Sir, doing so in a tense interview will reveal one's nervousness due to the fast heartbeat. Isn't it? So you mean I can inhale in an unnoticeable way too in bw phrases?
