Question:
I’m a 20 year old man, and as I’ve grown older I’ve noticed that my voice is nasaly and feminine. I feel like I always sound like I’m whining, and when I speak loudly it’s even worse. Now that I’m getting older, I would like to sound more professional. I was wondering if there was anyting that can be done about it. I’m willing to pay a professional voice coach to change this, but I dont know where I can get one. Is there anything that you could suggest to me to do?
Answer:
1) Google voice coach or speech therapist with your postal code following and see who comes up in your area.
2) You could ask your local ENT doctor if he/she can recommend a speech therapist — they often work together.
3) You can search on line for audio products to work with.
4) You can schedule sessions over the phone or using video-conferencing (such as skype) with practitioners like me.
