So then all of a sudden you're out and you're like, oh, now I can just do whatever. And I have that strength. Like you work out, you do sit-ups. So then you have nice abs when you're out on the beach. It's the same.
That's why I'm not wearing a bikini on the beach. But you do that. You train your voice with strength exercises or taking away strength exercises. You're not screaming on stage. So you're doing something else and your vocal cords are coming together softer. So you don't need that much recovery time.
I want to answer this and I also want to ask you a question.
What voice do you like? What do you like to listen to? In general? Yeah. If there's a person you like or a sound that you're like, okay. I like, I do like Sia. It can even be a speaking voice. It doesn't have to be a singing voice. What kind of voice do I like? Yeah. Is there somebody that you're like, I love to listen to them? Or on the contrary, is there somebody that you hate to listen to?
Love an accent.
Totally, totally. So everything is different for everything. For every situation, I want a different voice. Like you said, when I listened to your podcast, because I did a lot of listening to your podcast before I came on this, and you have Tony Robbins who's giving a clip right before and he goes... You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it. And I'm like, oh. Terrible.
It's like it hurts me to hear that. And obviously, Tony's very successful.
He knows what he's doing. But his voice, that rough, he's like yelling it. He's like, go, go, go. He's a motivational speaker. Totally. That is what he does. And that voice tells me that he works hard. that he goes and goes and goes and doesn't stop, that he doesn't care necessarily about that softness and that bringing that in. He wants you to go.
So he's influencing with his voice, with that rough and da-da-da, for you to go. He is like your coach. He's your soccer coach, your football coach. He's like, go, go, go, go, go. But if I'm doing a yoga class, I'd be like, nah, bro. I can't. I can't listen to that right now. It gives me this. So your voice influences the same way if you're listening to music.
When I got into the car to get here, they were playing classical music. And I told my driver, I was like, this is exactly what I needed right now because my life has been so crazy. I'm heading out to New York right after this. I'm packing. I'm doing all the things. And I just wanted that classical music. But if she had like rock and it was going and it was hard, I'd be like, no, I don't need that.
It's the same with voice. It influences our body in a different way. So if somebody is like, how can I optimize my voice? I want to take it a step further and say, optimize it for what? What do you want people to feel when they're listening to you? If you're a mom, like you said, if there's a mom, who's she talking to? Is she telling her kids to clean their room? Yeah.
Is she trying to assert her dominance in something? Like, what is the situation that you are trying to get a certain outcome? So for me, right now, in my mind, I want to tell you I'm a pro at this. I know what I'm doing. I know how I'm sounding. And my objective in this is to sound confident and knowledgeable. And so when I want to sound more confident and knowledgeable...
I'm not all the way over here. I'm not like dragging my voice long. I'm a little bit more to the point and I'm a little lower in my pitch and I'm not going up talk. So my voice isn't going up, but I'm a little bit more down talk. So the end of my sounds all go down. So it's a comment, not a question, but a comment. So it's different. Every single outcome is based on your objective.
That makes sense.
Clip that.
Yes. That's a huge thing. You hear so many people and not everybody knows why they have a feeling of that person is not making me comfortable. But if I hear somebody and her voice is like this and she's saying, hi, Jen, I'm Amy and I'm a voice coach and I sometimes. Like you're like, enough. I can't.
I would tell them, I would say, number one, is it a question? Because a question goes up at the end. Right?
Huh? You hear that. And immediately I question. And if I'm questioning something that somebody else is saying, I don't have confidence in that. That just like flies out the window. Yeah. But if she goes down. So now I'm going to take that same kind of pinched small voice and I'm going to say, hi, I'm Amy and I do this. You're like, okay, that's a little better.
And then that pinch right in here, I'm like, that's too small. I want to show big. And kids are small. And we hear kids' voices in a different way. They're children. They're small. They're little. So it's all little. When I tell people, I say, open your throat. We have so much space that we don't always use. So then I open my throat. If you hear pitch... This note, ah, ah, that's the same note.
But the second one sounds so much lower, right? You hear it in your brain. It's not. It's the same. But my space in my throat is different. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. All of a sudden, you're like, what? That's like a confident woman on that second one. And like a little kid in the first one.
