0600 – Vocal Confidence Through Familiarisation With The Script And Situation

2022.08.23– 0600 – Vocal Confidence Through Familiarisation With The Script And Situation ·        Familiarisation with the subject – the knowledge of the script, not just the words, but the meaning and the significance and intention of it, and the role your ‘character’ plays in conveying the message. Plus, who that message is targeted at, and what you want that recipient to do with the information… Nerves are what you are feeling – but think of the audience, not yourself.If you have to present a script that you are not comfortable with (perhaps you don’t understand or are unfamiliar with it, or don’t agree with the content), then it’s natural that you will feel nervous about presenting it. ·        Familiarisation with the situation – so, the studio, the staff, the workflow.  Of course, when presenting a podcast, a lot of this comes naturally. You are likely to be familiar with your topic as it’s one you’re passionate about. And you’re likely to be recording at home, a location that you are comfortable in … You started your podcast because you have something to say…Your message and voice is too valued by your listeners and potential followersfor you to be rendered tongue tied by a lack of confidence.David Hutchinson, weeditpodcasts.com[1] Confidence comes from experience in all of these areas. Also playing a part, possible other elements such as:·        Your health - To sound better and feel better, have plenty of rest and water. There’s more health advice a little bit later.·        Your microphone – We looked at this before: how you hear yourself may add or detract from your confidence. Is your sound real and relatable, or thin and trebly?·        What you wear - What is your ‘superhero outfit’ to wear to get into zone for confidence? Certain clothes or a wristband or pendant... to help you get into the ‘zone’. Do you dress up or dress down? Lucky socks, or a special pen, or headphones that fit ‘just right’ and make you sound really good.One often has more confidence during a podcast because you are ‘in the moment’ but without the pressure of ‘immediately perfect’ performance, because of the ‘record-it’, ‘edit-it’ workflow.
