“SAY IT WITH YO CHEST “

When I am nervous I speak from my throat. Not only it hurts my throat, but people can barely hear me and always ask me to repeat what I said.

I think trying to reduce the intensity of vibrations around the throat was helped me most. English is my second language and I realised my throat is vibrating a lot when I speak it, as opposed to when I'm speaking in my native language. I now sound better when I consciously watch the vibration on the throat.

What a beautiful personality you have! I love your video

I'm Glad I Came Across This Video. I Never Sound Confident And It Turns I Speak From My Head. I Never Knew This Was A Thing.

You have a beautiful beard man!

I think my problem is that my voice is quite quiet, so when I speak I often speak a little too loudly to be able to be heard properly (in a loud environment). That leads me to sort of half-shout from my throat instead of just speaking softly. Does that sound logical and plausible? And if so, can I do anything to make my voice louder/more powerful?

thanks for these videos. its useful to learn about the differences. that monotone throat speaking is exactly what im desperately trying to avoid. i feel like joe rogan has an extremely throaty voice that never quite makes it into his chest, now that i think about it.

I find my self not being able to raise my voice because i speak from my throat and i find it rlly hard because i am a student, always giving presentations and speeches for school and my feedback is always to raise my voice. It annoyed me alot before because i was trying, if i attempted to sound more loud my voice would just break. Im glad i found this video

Interesting video! I’m male and am always confused with being female on the phone. I finally saw a doctor and was diagnosed with sulcus vocalis last year at the age of 30. I had surgery and speech therapy. And now I’m having to learn how to get that chest buzz when speaking. So it’s interesting to see these sort of videos :)

I have had a very weird speaking / singing journey. Tldr: I spoke through my nose for 16 years, then my throat for 17. Finally, for the last 2 years, I ACTUALLY am speaking and singing from my chest now. Only problem I still have is that I work retail, and am so used to my customer service being my throat voice, that I slip back into it. Trying to learn how to break that habit. I always thought (knew it turns out) that I should be an alto / mezzo-alto for my singing voice. But my speaking voice was so high, everyone I spoke to said not possible. However the soprano / mid-soprano range always felt too high. Friend offered to give me some singing lessons. Turns out I spoke through my nose for ~15 years and no once realized. I start trying to speak through (what I thought was) my chest voice. It seemed so low in comparison, but felt more natural after a bit. However, ~15 years later, I had another shocking reveal. When learning from singing tutorials about placing breath for singing, I realized I STILL wasn't singing through chest vouce. I was speaking through my throat. I learned this because whenever I sang with an open throat (chest voice), my throat would hurt when speaking the rest of the time. Saw a throat specialist who confirmed there was no damage, but my nasal passages were slightly crooked, likely since birth, and since no one caught it, my breath had been placed in the wrong areas. Turns out I am a short-range contralto / mezzo-alto for singing, just like I thought.

This was so useful for me! Thank you

Thanks so much, this is so useful

i always feel like there’s something in my throat and my voice cracks a lot since i speak in a lower tone when i shouldn’t. it’s uncomfortable

Hi, Jimmy! Kudos to you for this super insightful video. I am in need of your help… I speak with my breath a lot. A seem to be out of air a lot and then my throat and mouth seems to dry out even more. How do I stop breathing through my mouth while talking? I noticed my voice changes when I breath while talking, hold my breath while talking, etc. What is the proper way to speak? 🥴 lol thank you 🙂

Really interesting video. Very well explained. Thanks

hello!! teen girl here - ive always noticed that when i speak, i push my head back(putting head down and pushing back; tongue feels like it gets in way) and i feel alot of choking in my throat. when i speak it feels like im unwillingly attempting to make it lower. it feels its worse when im socially anxious where it can feel very breathy, and as if cannot speak because my voice is closing the back of my throat too much. :/ how can i speak easier and have a higher tone?

Thanks for this info on speaking

Thank you so much my throat start to hurt me alot when i speak for long period of time with my friends and your information was really helpful

I've been speaking from the throat for years now mostly because of anxiety and recently it's been hurting my throat a lot. Your videos are GREAT because they're actually kinda relaxing. It's felt really stressful to read about these things and trying to apply only to be fucked by even more anxiety. You're doing God's work!

Hey jimmi love your work man please make a video on treating vocal nodules.

Hi Jimmy, could you give some tips for varying tone in the way you speak to make presentations more interesting?

thanks. this helped me a lot

I am recovering from a paralyzed vocal cord and seeking the *new and improved* version of my voice as strength returns. Feeling solidarity with teenage boys,.

Thanks for this amazing video. I was wondering how I can send voice to chest when air comes out of lung through vocal cord and out of mouth.

Thanks alot for this sir! This helped alot :]

Hlo Jimmy Just a curious question I reckon in Standard british accent or modern RP Voice placement is back in throat and lower and tongue fairly relaxed. When producing vowel sounds resonance is back and down around chest area as well. I'd like to know what do you think?

I think I use my head voice too much. In an attempt to use my chest voice, and to speak with a descending tone to sound confident instead of ascending, I've hurt my vocal chords. Very sore just to the RH side of my throat. I've noticed this particularly happens when I go down at the end of a word. I'm not intentionally trying to speak lower per say, just better. I know you can hurt yourself of you're walking around sounding artificially low and I don't think that's what I've done. What are some other common mistakes people make that can cause damage?

The beard game is strong in this one 😁

ive been testing around to focus on the back part of the throat and u get pretty decnet controll of you´re voice that way and for some weird reason u get better controll over your vocal cords when u focus on the back part of the throat

Would love love love a video on chest resonance for women!! Thanks x

I can't avoid speaking like that. When I speak a little lauder my throat hurts and my head voice is quite weak. Can I fix it just practising with breathing exercises?It really makes me disturbed:(

But muscle memory is to speak from the throat for me. So many times I tell myself not to engage the throat when I speak, but when the time comes to speak I forget and it comes from my throat. What can I do to ensure that I don't forget to not speak from the throat?

I find myself being too monotonous when I speak. I've been having this lump in my throat, as if it's locked, for a year now. And sometimes I feel like I'm suffocating. I reckon it's got to do with repressed emotion. Definitely need to learn to use my chest voice, cuz when I speak from the throat it hurts

I have Spasmodic dysphonia and read about the improvements one can get from avoiding speaking from the throat. The recommendation is to use head voice. I’m not sure how to achieve this and sustain it in speaking. Can you help me?

Hi dear ,in my life I stuggle with my voice bez when a emergency situation or the situation that I should talk that time I feel tension and I will get block for talk ,this block made me feel tension again will get talking air block while talking ,but for me a normal situation I am not feeling the same and talk normally without block. Now a days I talk ,I stop talk from throat and talk by head voice now I feel relaxed and I can talk 99 percentage talk normally in any situation. Can you explain for me ,for getting more better what are the technicic should use for better .

when i try and sing anything remotely near my hear voice it gets very crackly? and my friends have said it sounds like something is stuck in my throat and it’s been plaguing me for about three years. at first it only happened during choir auditions but now it happens during practice and sometimes by myself too, i’m in the last year at my choir and i really want to be able to contribute just as well as everyone else (current choir i’m in is an all comer’s choir, (probably my vocal issues stopped me from getting into the auditioned choir but that’s neither here nor there since i wouldn’t have been able to commit the extra time anyway. )

Bro my voice changed when i was 14 but i didnt like it so i was speaking from my throat for long now doing this made my voice so deep

Hello, I have a question for you, when you say chest at 3:03... Before, thoart and head, your voice change, it had such different colour, can you tell me, how is it work?

holy crap, I tried to do falsetto while doing chest or abdomen resonance and it's impossible, this is brilliant!

Who found the switch to the head voice funny😂😂

I have trouble getting my voice to cut through. I feel as if a frog is constantly in my throat. I either speak in a mumble when trying to talk low or I often have to speak loud to get voice to cut through. Are there any exercises I can do to help open throat?

Hi i dont know if youre still responding but i have terrible vocal scarring, suffer with hoarseness, and speak with a lower register i guess? i often lose my voice after talking for too long and it even begins to ache. I dont know if theres anyway to get more fullness in my voice or to fix my throat being so fragile when i speak.

Watching from the Philippines!

When I speak my throat gets uncomfortable and feels tight, and people say I speak quietly. Could you provide some advice to help me with my voice issues? I also have trouble with resonance. But when I'm relaxed I have a deep and resonating voice and my throat feels relaxed.

It took me to wake up with pain in my throat every morning for years and almost losing my voice to get here.

I totally forgot how to speak the way I used to. For the last couple years my voice has sounds so tense and cracks a lot its humiliating.

Hi, I really want to try something, and I don't know how to speak from the BACK of my throut

Please when talking there shd be an air within our mouth right? Bcos without that the sound waves bring that speak from the throat

My kid just a teenage and feels his voice is very nasal are there any tech tips on eliminating the nose part.

I'm still confused. Sorry. No real techniques or how to fix it were explained.

Sir please make a video on how to maintain gesture and posture as supervisor

Sir I get stuck with explosive words like T, P , L , N , Q how would I overcome this I can't even utter these word initials

1. no speak from throat. 2. men use chest resonance mostly (modal) women use head (falsetto) 3. access different vocal registers 4. 7 areas of resonance, 3 are chest throat head 5. resonance, pitch inflection, intonation, color togar of voice, breathe control 6. utilize as m any areas as you can, abdominals, outbreath when speaking, using lung, control breath, thin column of air, send air to different areas. head or chest. 7. don't constantly speak from throat. use blend, chest and head voice

Hello, i think i made a bad habit with the way i talk, i will try to explain in the best way possible, because my english is kinda bad. Okay so, im 17 and my voice is pretty deep, even sometimes in ashmed of it, because if someone ask me for something, and i give a simple answer, i sound kinda mean and scary with the deep voice (im not mean i just answer without thinking it) And i began to punish my voice to sound not that deep, maybe not deep at all, just because sometimes when i speak, i sound rude and scary. And i think i speak from my head, like that little head voice when you think of something, and i speak with it, instead of speaking from the throat (when i speak from the throat, my voice is deep like before but i feel some vibration from it) Also i want to say that, before with my gf, we tended to speak each other with soft voices (Its the same voice i speak when i punished it so it wont sound rude) And it become like a habit, even she has that habit sometimes too. And i want to ask, if i developed a habit about talking with a soft voice, how do i change it in order to sound like my previous deep voice before? Im very concerned, bc i want to speak with my normal deep voice, but i think the soft voice became a big habit, and sometimes like i said, i punish it without thinking too. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long comment :)

Please how do I stop talking from the throat I can't control myself from it? Any helper here?

Really useful video. I just wish the background music weren't there. It's distracting.

I seem to always talk from my throat, but been hearing people telling me to speak with the diaphragm and I’m like... what? After seeing a few videos about speaking from the diaphragm I’ve been practicing and it seems to help make my voice a little louder and deeper and not sounding like a dubbed female anime character. I know I have a speech impediment mostly due to the letter R, but speaking from the diaphragm I can hear myself more clearly

I talk with my throat and need so much help....

Need to loud my voice tell me how on comments

I woke up at 5am in the morning on January 19th and I woke my mom up and I couldn't talk because my sore throat I try to say love you mom I couldn't say it

👌🏼

If i don't speak from my throat my voice becomes high pitch and i'm a male😪what to do?

Hard to hear with your background music

6.49.watch full vid

Is it too late? I always speak with throat voice because I'm a baritone since 7th grade. And people laugh at me when I talk. I was 5'2 then, 5'7 now. Yes, small body with a somehow deep voice. I don't like it.

Has anyone mentioned that the background music- singing words- is quite distracting? I may be the only one.

At parties no one can hear me its annoying

Yes video chest voice speaking I'm taking speech therapy

I want help

When i slap my little brother and my dad see him and ask what is wrong with him 5:20 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

0:35 you say that it would be too annoying and you couldn't make a career out of that....yet EVERY radio presenter seems to talk exactly like that!!

You sound like Stewie Griffin

I talk but they don’t understand the words

Randomly found this. Great video but I found the piano background annoying. Makes it harder to follow you. Might just be ADHD I don't know.

So- I’m a trans man- and I’m trying to learn how to use my chest. I was a singer before I started hormones and was a soprano… my voice is higher because I can’t figure out how to not use my throat

Information is very useful. However I don't understand the need for the background music while you're talking. Very annoying. Please continue to make videos but ditch the background music. Thank you.
