Questions for my Q&A:
Nicole Spruill one of my roles is that of speaker. I’ve never had my voice evaluated or thought there was an issue. I was born in Dom. Republic and lived there until 14 years of age. Given my goal of becoming an official inspirational speaker, how would I go about getting an evaluation and then following up to enhance my speech and voice image?
This is a great question.
Many speakers seek help addressing their speech and voice image if there have been complaints from colleagues, employers, and/or business partners about the clarity of their speech or the quality of their voice. Since you’ve been in the US for years, you probably speak with some characteristics of your native tongue but the language rules and pronunciation of American English are probably clear to you. However, if your voice often tires out by the end of the day, you speak with a raspy, gravely, breathy, or husky voice, or perhaps your voice is thin and nasally at times and people often think you are whining and don’t take you seriously when speaking, then a voice evaluation should be considered. The Spruill Studio for Speech and Voice offers a free speech and voice screening to professional speakers, which provides information needed to determine if an evaluation is needed.
