ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Why Your Voice Shakes When You Speak (And Exactly How to Stop It)

I want to tell you about the worst moment I have ever had while speaking in front of people.

I was standing in front of a room, fully prepared.

I knew my material, I had rehearsed and the moment I opened my mouth, my voice came out shaking.

Not slightly, noticeably.

And I could hear it.

And because I could hear my own voice, I got more nervous.

And because I got more nervous, it got worse.

And I just stood there thinking, why is this happening to me?

I know this stuff.

Then why is my body betraying me?

and if you have ever felt the same this video is for you

and i promise you by the end of this you will understand exactly why it happens

and you will have the tools to stop it welcome back

to speak with power i'm captain ruta kumar singh i'm a former army officer

and i'm your communication and presence coach

and today we are going deep on to one of the most common fears i hear from the professionals

and speakers i work with

the shaking voice it doesn't matter

if you're speaking in a boardroom presenting to a team speaking on the stage

or just raising your hand in a meeting

if your voice shakes it steals your credibility right in the moment you need it the most Come on, let's fix it today.

Okay, now let me go back to that story I started with.

Because I think understanding where this comes from is just as important as the fix.

Early in my career as a Judd Advocate General's Branch Officer in the Indian Army, I was asked to present in front of a room of senior officers.

people with experience, authority and titles.

And I remember standing outside that room and telling myself, you have got this.

all the self -talk which you do, You know this.

Just go in and speak.

And I genuinely believed that I was enough.

I walked in, I was introduced, I stood up and the moment the attention of the room shifted to me, Every single eye on me,

something happened in my body that I did not ask for and could not control.

My heart started hammering.

My throat went dry.

And when I spoke, the first two sentences came out with this slight tremor.

This wobble in your voice that I knew was there and that I was convinced everyone in that room could hear.

So let's talk about why it happens.

Because once you understand the why, the fix makes a lot more sense.

So when you stand up to speak in front of people, your brain reads the situation as a threat.

not a physical threat, you're not in danger as such.

But your nervous system doesn't always know the difference between there's a line in front of you

and there are 30 people staring at me, waiting for me to say something smart.

The response is the same.

Your body floods with adrenal.

your heart rate goes up your breathing gets shallower.

Blood moves away from your digestive system and toward your muscles

because your body is getting ready to either fight or to run.

And your voice, your voice is powered by your breath.

It needs a steady controlled flow of air to come out smooth and consistent.

But when you are in that nervous state, your breathing becomes shallow and unsteady.

So the voice wobbles.

It's not a weakness.

It's not a character flaw.

It's a completely involuntary physiological response.

The people who seem completely calm when they speak publicly, they have either trained their nervous system to respond differently

or they're not a person this is the version most people don't want to hear They're still nervous.

They have just found out a way to work with it instead of against it.

That's the whole game.

So what is the solution for this?

How do we fix it?

Fix number one, and this is the most important one.

Breathing.

But not the way most people think about it.

Most people try to remember to breathe while they are already speaking, which doesn't work.

Because by the time the nervousness is already running

and your conscious mind is too busy trying to remember what to say next.

the breathing has to happen before you speak in

that moment just before you open your mouth whether it is before you stand up

or before you're introduced or even while someone else is still talking and you know you're about to contribute

That is when you focus on your breathing.

I'm going to tell you the exact technique.

It's called box breathing.

Some of you might have heard about it already, and it takes about 30 seconds.

Breathe in for four counts.

hold for four counts and then breathe out slowly for four counts one round.

That's it.

And repeat it.

Do it once, maybe twice.

What this does it, it activates your parasympathetic nervous system, the calm down system

and starts pulling your heart rate back down before you have

even said a word i do this before every single session

i run every single presentation every live video i am on

every video i record on youtube like this it looks like

nothing from the outside i just look like i'm sitting quietly but on the inside i'm resetting my nervous system

just in 30 seconds.

But do it before you speak, not while you're already in it.

Fix number two.

Lower your voice intentionally.

Here's what I mean when I say that lower your voice intentionally.

See, when nervousness will hit, your vocal cords will tighten, physically tighten.

And when your vocal cords are tight, your voice goes higher and thinner, which is exactly the register where shaking is most noticeable.

So one of the fastest ways to reduce the wobble is to consciously bring your voice

down in a pitch not fake law, not performing a deep voice that isn't yours,

just consciously dropping your register slightly lower than where your nervous system is trying to push it.

Think about it this way.

When you're relaxed talking to a close friend or your family, your voice naturally sits at a comfortable mid to lower register.

That's your real voice.

That's the voice that comes from a relaxed throat.

When you're nervous, it climbs up.

Your job is to bring it back down.

100

Practically, how do you do this?

101

So before you speak, hmm, literally, hmm, quietly in the car, in the bathroom, outside the room,

102

humming warms up your vocal cords and bring them back to

103

relaxed position and it takes only 10 seconds and it works my little goes my little goes

104

all right let's move to fix number three

105

give the nervous energy somewhere to go because the energy

106

that makes your voice shake doesn't disappear you can't just suppress it

107

but you can redirect it

108

so i had this client a senior manager excellent at her

109

job incredibly knowledgeable who would freeze the moment she had to

110

present to a leadership team her voice would shake she would lose her train of thought

111

and afterwards she would be devastated because she knew she hadn't shown up as herself

112

and when we worked together one of the first things i told her was Stop trying to be not nervous. Be nervous.

113

That is losing a battle if you try not to be nervous.

114

Instead, use that nervous energy somewhere.

115

Let's redirect it.

116

Here's what that looks like in practice.

117

So before you speak, press your feet firmly onto the floor.

118

Feel the ground under you that physical grounding actually helps your nervous system orient itself.

119

You're literally angering your energy.

120

Then use hand gestures where you speak.

121

Controlled, intentional gesture.

122

Because when your hands are moving purposefully, the nervous energy that was sitting at one place in your chest has somewhere to flow.

123

It moves through your arms

124

and out through your gestures instead of traveling up into your throat and coming out as a shake.

125

You can also move around a bit if it's a big stage, let the energy flow and not be stuck at one place.

126

She started doing this in practice.

127

Feet grounded, gestures intentional, moving around and within two sessions she was presenting to

128

that same leadership team and she came back and told me, I actually enjoyed this time.

129

Same room, same people, completely different experience because she stopped fighting her nerve and started channeling it properly.

130

So let's recap.

131

Three things to do the next time your voice starts to shake.

132

One, box breathing before you speak, not during.

133

Four counts in.

134

hold Four counts out, hold.

135

30 seconds outside the room or before you start.

136

2. Lower your voice intentionally.

137

Hmm, before you go in, bring your real voice back.

138

3. Ground your feet, use your hands, give the energy somewhere to go instead of fighting it stuck at one place.

139

Try even one of these next time.

140

That's all I'm asking.

141

One.

142

And then come back and tell me in the comments what happened.

143

I genuinely want to know.

144

If this helped you, subscribe to my channel because I'm on this channel every single day talking about communication,

145

confidence, presence and the skills that actually change how the world experiences you.

146

I'll see you tomorrow.

147

Jai Hind.

148

Namaste.
