1.2. How will this course improve my voice?

Better Voice is an up-to-date approach to the essentials of White’s Technique, a tried and tested system of voice training. By learning the Better Voice technique, with time and practice you could expect to:

  • Have a clear, focused, well-modulated a voice that’s easy to hear and pleasing to listen to.
  • Have a voice for life that you can use for as long as necessary at a time without it getting tired or weak.
  • Avoid future strain or damage to your vocal cords.
  • Allow recovery from any previous vocal cord damage.
  • Feel more confident because you have confidence in your voice.
  • Improve your general health and well-being by improving your breathing and posture.

White’s Technique has helped innumerable people to literally find their voice. There are many documented cases of a course in theTechnique being a life-changing experience.

These include extreme cases of people regaining a voice they had virtually lost through vocal damage. In the video below Helen, a primary school teacher and amateur soprano, who developed serious voice problems as a result of poor voice use at work and at choir, describes how lessons with Course Consultant Peter Giles restored her voice for speaking and singing.

 

Thankfully not everyone requires such serious remedial help with their voice as Helen did. ‘Finding your voice’ can also be a case of developing the ability to speak in a way that truly reflects who you are, and that will transmit to those listening your strengths and personality as well as your message. That could mean doing a work presentation well and with confidence; sounding authoritative when necessary; or simply feeling happier about your voice and yourself. Better Voice will help you there too, as it has helped many others. Here are just three of their stories:

‘When I had to give presentations at work I couldn’t project my voice to the back of the room, and the effort of trying to speak louder made my throat sore. Only 3 weeks after starting White’s Technique (about 9 hours of practice) I got very positive feedback from people who had been at one of my previous presentations. One lady at the back said she could hear everything even though her hearing aid battery had run out! I was projecting my voice better, my throat wasn’t sore, and not having to worry about my voice meant I could focus more on what I was saying.’ (Camilla B., Wildlife Trust project officer)

 

‘I very much wanted to be a barrister, but almost gave up my training because I knew that my weak voice and lack of authority when speaking would let me down in court. The improvement in my voice through White’s Technique, and the confidence that gave me, have now set me on a successful career.’ (Keith W., barrister)

 

‘My business was really starting to take off, but I hated my voice so much that speaking to customers and suppliers, and even my own staff, was becoming increasingly stressful and difficult. Thanks to White’s Technique I am now able to meet people with confidence.’ (Louise T., florist)

What are you looking to achieve with your voice? Whatever it is, if you’re prepared to put in the practice you can be the next success story.

A guaranteed safe method

It’s important to know, when you’re working without a Better Voice teacher, that the method is safe. You can be assured that following the Better Voice course as directed cannot possibly damage your voice in any way.
