Lewis Howes

I just don't know, I'm not sure, but like I was just thinking about it and if it's, oh my goodness, it's horrible.

And the reason why we'll accidentally go into fry is because we're literally clenching our vocal cords and they cannot get enough breath.

Vocal fry, not to be gross, but vocal fry happens when our vocal cords rattle together.

And that's what we're hearing is the rattling.

That's why we don't like it.

And so when you have space, you prevent vocal fry.

If you hear yourself in vocal fry, here's the quickest fix you have.

Speak louder.

So the best way to get rid of vocal fry is to just up your volume.

It will push more air through your vocal cords and it makes them hum.

If other people...

on your team are using Vocal Fry, just ask them to speak up.

Yeah, that will usually get them out of Vocal Fry.

Little secret.

Don't blame it on me, but that's a really easy way to... If you're interviewing someone and they're in Vocal Fry and you know it's going to drive your listeners crazy, just be like, you know the audio, they just can't hear you.

Could you speak a little bit louder?

Yes, yes.

Yes.

Perfect question.

So your book cover.
