improve my voice

I discovered there is a voice and diction class at my community college. I do not think I really have the time to take the class next semester, but would consider it. I do not know if there would be much homework involved. It would be considerably cheaper than private coaching.

Something I can consciously work on before then is my projection (a.k.a. I’m loud). I also raise my voice so that I am shouting often, not angrily just speaking too loudly. I believe it comes across uncouth. I will try to keep track of this in the up coming days.

And my 5th grade teacher would speak softly so that a person would have to try and hear them. It gets listeners to lean in and pay attetion. Also Jackie O. Would drag out her sss and such for a more sensual tone. I would like to incorperate this.

I spent part of a day with someone who has a reallly loud voice and now feel I need to try and quite mine. I think my loud voice probubly makes it more annoying to listen to.
