public speaking - Voices That Crack, Quiver & Quake Posted By : The Voice Lady

Because your vocal folds are an organ, it is important to treat them well; and, learning how to power your voice without undue pressure on those folds is the only way to solve your problem. The only way to solve the problem is to find your 'real' voice, a voice that is powered by your chest, thereby alleviating the stress or the tension on your vocal folds. If you compare the size of the chest to that of the other 4 resonating cavities the voice box, throat, mouth and nose it is obvious that from size alone, you will gain much greater power over your voice when you use your chest as your primary sounding board. Once this happens, you will discover not only a more mature-sounding, resonant speaking voice, but also the best means of controlling nervousness in any form of public speaking.
