To have a strong, healthy relationship with anyone, whether it be parent-child, teacher-student or husband-wife, you have to know that good communication is the driving force behind that. Being able to talk to a wide variety of people properly is something that seems easy, but is a complex skill to possess. For me, talking to people is easy, but it’s things like being aware of tone of voice, facial expressions and body language.
To improve your tone of voice, try these:
- Drinking water throughout the day
- Be sure to breath from the diaphragm
- Get feedback on your voice
- Record your voice and play it back
- Try voice scales
To improve facial expression
- Relax your jaw
- Know how your face naturally rests
- Raise your eyebrows, just a little
- Always have a faint smile
- Practice at home
To improve body language
- Always be engaged
- Try to avoid bad poses (folded arms, hands on hips, ect)
- Know your nervous habits
- Sit / Stand up straight
- HAVE CONFIDENCE
