COMMUNICATIONS TIP: BEST VOICE FORWARD


"Your voice is your ambassador to the outside world," says Norman D. Hogikyan M.D. F.A.C.S. director of the University of Michigan's Vocal Health Center and associate professor of otolaryngology and music. "People make assessments about you based on your voice, so it is very important when you're speaking or singing to think about what people are really hearing."

To ensure you are putting your best voice forward, keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Keeping your vocal cords well-lubricated is important because they vibrate very fast. Foods such as apples, pears, watermelon, peaches, melons, grapes, plums, bell peppers and applesauce make excellent hydration-conscious snacks and are often found on event buffet tables. Avoid alcohol and caffeine. Also allow your voice to rest during periods of extended use. If you follow these simple rules, what you and your listeners will hear is success.
