Look after Your
Voice Often speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and
ask for a glass of water. You can solve the problem by activating the saliva in
your mouth. First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth. Or,
press your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the
saliva flow. Or you can imagine that you are slicing a big juicy lemon and
sucking the juice. Before you begin your talk, be kind to your
voice. Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your throat. Keep your throat wet
by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or diluted fruit juice.
If you sense that you are losing your voice, stop talking completely. Save
your voice for your speech. You may feel foolish using paper to write notes, but
the best thing you can do is to rest your voice. If you need to see a doctor,
perhaps you can get some advice from a professional singer. In the meantime, do
not even talk in a low voice. What about drinking alcohol to wet
your throat I advice you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The problem with
alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence. The second drink gives
you even more confidence. Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel
you can do everything, but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work
together properly. Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking.
Perhaps you want to accept the advice, but you may wonder if you can ever
change the habits of a lifetime. Of course you can. Goethe, who lived before
indoor skating sinks or swimming pools, said, “We learn to skate in the summer
and swim in the winter.” Take this message to heart and give yourself time to
develop your new habits. If you are willing to change, you will soon be able to
say that you will never forget these techniques because they became a part of
your body.
The writer’s advice about alcohol before you make a speech is to take one or two drinks so as to give yourself some confidence.
