Tuning tip for quiet people who still want to be heard

Do you know this?

"I'm a rather quiet guy. The idea of raising my voice loudly tends to scare me off."

Is there also a middle ground?

Whether you are well understood depends directly on your desire to be heard. The stronger this desire becomes, the more energy your organism invests in movements and body language. As a result, the voice gains volume and power. They are better heard and easier to understand.

So it's not so much about speaking "out loud" as it is about your ability to develop a desire to be heard at important moments. This mobilizes energy and your voice then follows equally by itself.

To help you, imagine a discussion as a ball game. Just as you make eye contact in a ball game in order to be perceived as a teammate, the discussion is about reaching your interlocutors with your voice in order to gain attention. If you have the energy to pass your voice – like a ball in this example – you will also be heard.

What else can I do to mobilize my voice?

The most powerful tool you can use to energize your voice is the good "point of view." In everyday life, this means: Take your point of view before you speak the first word.
