speak louder

I’ve had this problem since I can remember… :( In my last oral presentation I did well, but my teacher told me I need to speak louder. Teachers have always told me this but they never tell me how…I have another oral presentation tomorrow and I have to focus on speaking loud! Which is normal to everyone else. When I try it sounds so unnatural to me and like I’m yelling..I feel like I’m straining my voice..To me I speak loud enough but apparently I don’t. How will I know if I’m speaking loud enough? I can’t tell.

rrrg.. my voice is so quiet, i hate it. i really want to change that! once i do i know i will be a happier person because i will be more confident in putting my opinion out there and people will actually hear my voice in loud rooms (aka lunch room, ect). and when i give speeches people from the back of the room could hear me clearly (the weird thing is i never get nervous talking infront of a bunch of people lol XD)any tips??

maybe it would help if I was a little deaf… deaf people always shout a little, this is better than being accused of having a teany tiny voice.

I read faithbook’s comments and now I have some exercises to help me out. I’m hoping for success!

Hey has anyone heard of any tips/exercises to practice speaking louder besides good-old fashioned practice?

Just give some advised and tips to speak out louder

I am like a little mouse….need to stop!

Waaaw!! I’m very happy of my own improvement! Happy is not the right word but there’s no word to describe how I feel now to have been able to succeed in this no-hope project ! I love to speak LOUD !!!

Last oral presentation: My teacher congratulated me :) She also said to my classmate how proud of me she was :)

And the teacher I hate, who always tells me that I would be nothing If I could not speak louder, told us last week that she was deaf ! It was not me.. :) I may not speak loud enough for her, but at least, some people believe in me :)

Since the start of this school year, I’ve actually started talking out in lessons and getting involved. Woot!
But I still need to crank my volume up. I know I can talk loud enough, but for whatever reason I often have to repeat myself, and it’s a little annoying, if not saddening.
Dunno how to practice though!
