I need voice and speech training

Open the back of your throat. Slow your speech, raise your voice (not to yelling level), and focus on enunciation.

I had written a post addressing exactly that.

In terms of deepness of voice, project your voice from your chest, your diaphragm, feel it vibrate, don't project it from your nose. Squeeze your nose shut and try talking, if your voice doesn't change much, you're doing it right. Also, anecdotal broscience though, stop fapping.

Get a voice coach if you feel you need to. I've had singing lessons, and a few lessons can really go a long way to help you control your voice.

You almost certainly speak to quickly and too quietly.

So the solution is to speak much slower and much louder than you think you need to.

Just record yourself and listen to it. You can do it right on your computer. Then listen to how DJs and announcers speak and try to copy them.

You can apply for jobs that have this training. You can listen to youtube videos with good speakers, especially motivational speakers, and practice repeating what they say, the way they say it.

For my job we actually have both the training and a certification for it because those who are excellent with grammar & enunciation get paid more. It's partly a speaking job, partly a computer job.

Especially not in bars or clubs. What tips can you give me to train myself to have a more powerful and articulate voice?

Treble carries farther than bass and the ear doesn't pick up bass as well with so much in clubs/bars: you need to get the girl to get closer and admit that encoding will fail - so to speak - meaning that some information will be lost in this environment no better than radio transmissions in a jamming-heavy environment. The closer you are the easier it is but it's not fault-proof. That's also why in a bar kino matters. Touching & seeing is communication and what you communicate that isn't auditory won't be missed at all.

It's also an excuse to get more intimate physically which is part of the reason the bars do it.
