Shownotes

In today's episode, I'll answer why your voice gets to a higher pitch whenever you are nervous or emotional, and how to gain more control over it in these situations. I'll also share three things you can do to counteract the effect of those emotions in your voice, which will help you in the moment of speaking itself. 

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

  • Why your voice changes when the nerves kick in 
  • How tension affects your voice pitch
  • How warmups and body stretches can help you control your voice pitch
  • The importance of staying grounded while speaking

So warmups, stretching and increasing your grounding and stability are great ways of helping yourself to reduce the moments when you feel trapped in a higher pitch, or when your expressive range is reduced.
