Weak and Timid Voice

I was an Army Cadet. We had classes in talking with a command voice. One of the goals was to be able to be heard over gun fire. I also took dramatic reading classes.

Practice alone for now, but you also need a place where you can have loud background noise so you can learn to speak over it.

First learn to speak from your diaphragm. It's easier on the throat and larynx.

Second economy of words. You need to learn to say fewer words and still get your meaning across.

Third speaking with authority. This is tricky because it comes with experience which will also give confidence. You don't need to have super successful to speak with authority but you need to have had life experience. The military is great for this, but I get that it's not for everyone. Still you need to get out of the video games and into the real world. Rack up success and failure.

Fourth play with the cadence of your voice. The dramatic reading all help you develop a cadence to your voice as well as be able to improvise emotion into it. Even when you aren't feeling any emotion. I can pick up any text and dramatically read it without having had read it before. I can make a dry boring history text seem like the best movie ever.

It can be done alone. But you need to be comfortable talking out loud by yourself to practice.

So this what worked for:

Elliot Hulse has a video on youtube on getting your voice deeper by doing some vocal exercises. Good results but not enough on their own. Confidence: talk to loads of people. Be as social as possible. Talk to people in the library, societies, pubs, clubs, shops, hell even on the street. Vary the length of conversation as your confidence develops. Living alone isn't really a valid excuse. Don't be scared to slower the pace of the conversation. In the UK, white chicks typically talk remarkably slow, watch, learn and apply.

Is the losing breath a medical thing? If so go see a doctor. If not, see the point above. Hit the gym - lift weights. Nothing builds confidence like experience. Nothing builds self-esteem like hitting new PRs at the gym.

Living alone gives you the perfect opportunity for practice. Talk to yourself and sing as much as you can. Record your voice, analyse it and work on it. Practice practice practice.

lift and fuck all the bitches in the face around. dont care about bitches, men or women. Just go to gym and build confidience there. The World was always shit and wicked place to live. Not talking about the goverment hidden harrassment program running to destroy asocial, weak, shy people like you or most beta people on the redpill(cause u been down there).
