FIND YOUR VOICE – SPEAK FROM YOUR WHOLE BODY

Jeremy de Tolly

“When my heart knocks hard in its unguarded chamber, I lean into my body; I use all parts of myself to carry me.”

Make your body an important ally when singing, communicating, or public speaking. When nervous, we tend to transfer energy into our heads and out of our selves. Simply being grounded and in touch with the body will help you speak eloquently with more clarity, and sing more confidently. Vocal Transformation Coach Jeremy de Tolly, offers some valuable tips on how to connect with the body to amp up our vocal power.

How can you use the body to calm your nerves?

When we’re anxious or shut down around other people, the body reflects those feelings by constricting. Learn to work with your body to reduce anxiety, and ‘unfreeze yourself’. 

Pause, breathe, and tap your feet alternately (you can do this inconspicuously). Bring your awareness down to your feet. This action is self-soothing and reduces anxiety. Tune into the body, and feel the sensations and emotions that arise when communicating. It will help you speak your truth authentically with confidence and presence.

Bring 50% of your awareness into your lower body when using your voice. Most people believe they need to think while speaking. That’s not the case. Rather, we speak most fluently when we’re grounded, in our bodies, trusting that what will come out of us will be fluent and true. 

Imagine speaking from a different part of your body, like your stomach or your heart. See the words being generated from a few different areas and see how that feels or affects the tone of your voice and the words that emerge.

Observe yourself speaking

Try watching yourself on Zoom recording when speaking – and pay attention to the way your physical body moves. All of us have habits and patterns we can observe and learn from. Our bodily cues offer so much information as to where we need to work. When asked a question, do you look up before answering? That’s often a sign that you’re ‘going into your head’ to get an answer. If that’s the case, bring more awareness into the body when speaking.

Eye movement and eye contact are important topics in themselves. Some of us are uncomfortable with eye contact (this can be a trauma response) – do what makes you feel comfortable, but in the long term, learning to enjoy gentle eye contact actually makes us feel safer and more connected.

Be aware of your meta message

Then there is the ‘meta message’ which is a marker that demonstrates the amount of coherence we are displaying. We may communicate something, but feel something else in our body. Like, “I’m fine”, when our body is riddled with anxiety. This lack of coherence can make us ‘feel’ inauthentic to other people. Be firm with yourself and practice becoming more coherent – meaning and feeling what you say. If you have something difficult you want to communicate, either rehearse it beforehand or have a pre-worded sentiment to express it. Perhaps you have a beautifully expressed pre-loaded sentence to use whenever that may come up. It’s always okay to say, “I’m not sure how I feel about that, let me get back to you when I’m more clear.”  Or, “Right now, that’s not feeling quite right, can we work on another option.” 

Practice speaking as a whole person, with coherent thoughts, emotions and body sensations. When your body is on board, you will find your voice has a more resonant timbre, one that is more powerful and likely to create trust and connection. Working on being a good communicator is a big part of wellbeing, one that we often overlook. One of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves is to feel safe to be who we really are around others.
