The most important attributes A strong, confident voice is the resilience and life energy it carries. So how do we manage to maintain both constantly in our dynamic, demanding everyday lives? Especially with life energy, it's one of those things when the to-do list gets out of hand and one appointment chases the other.
One thing is clear: The key to the optimal voice and convincing personal expression in any situation lies in personal perception. If we ourselves no longer notice how we move, how we appear, how we sound – how are we supposed to have a positive effect on our environment? Let alone change anything about our established patterns? The foundations for perceiving oneself lie in hearing and body perception. But how should we still perceive ourselves if we rarely or never stay alone with ourselves, hardly stay in real silence? Because we never gain the awareness of who we are and can be in isolated spaces. We prefer to get this new perception of ourselves in nature! I have been convinced of this for a very long time.
With particular pleasure I therefore read the book by my colleague Jörg Romstötter. In "The Forgotten Miracle - How we draw strength, success and inspiration from nature", he describes how we reconnect with our own roots and thus become stronger and more conscious. Basic requirement: To go out into nature alone. Chatting walks with friends will not make nature's inspirational resource bubble up!
Only if we fully surrender to the impressions offered by nature, listen consciously – e.g. concretely perceive the singing of a blackbird – we notice what change is currently taking place. Then we "trained" for everyday professional life and similar phenomena. This new perception means that you can also see a few seconds earlier in the board meeting what to expect if the business wind should change ... And it is precisely this awareness that we practice when we are alone in nature. Try it out and notice the difference. Apart from that, you can also easily perform the lightest vocal exercise in the world with yourself alone in nature: Quiet, regular humming brings you a good deal closer to your own tone when speaking. Whether humming or not, one thing is certainly always given, as Jörg Romstötter so aptly says in his book: "No one leaves nature as he has gone into it". Upper vocally or otherwise.
