I have found that a lot of people do not know how to speak with their voice.They do not know what their voices even sound like or what it wants to say. They are not familiar with themselves. This is the core of my article today: Learning to speak with your voice.
How do you speak with your voice? Just the same way you speak to each
other-articulating your thoughts into words and letting them
flow out of your mouth.
What do I mean by speaking with your voice then? I mean
we all speak and talk and laugh and share our thoughts with
one another.
Here however, what I mean is learning your own particular
language of communication-voicing your own opinions,
stepping into your own person, discovering who you really
are.
How do you go about this?
Well as always, I have steps! These will enable you to learn
who you are in your core and what your heart’s truth
contains and entails.
-1. Before speaking with your voice, grow confident in
your thoughts
Find out who you are by exploring your interests. Do you
enjoy public speaking? Are you more of a writer? Or an
artist? Do you like music? This is the first step in learning
your voice-and this comes only by instinct. What do you
enjoy doing? What is at the core of your day to day routine
that enables you to relax?
-2. Your Sound
When you have located the core of your person-the one
activity that enables you to relax and come into your true
element of happiness, then you are on the right track to
discovering your voice which is your own unique sound. As
you spend more time enjoying your activity of choice, you
begin to learn your own language within that activity. For
example, if you enjoy writing, what sort of topics do you
enjoy discussing? If you enjoy music, what is your favourite
genre? If you enjoy dancing what is your favourite form of
dance?
-3. Discovery
Once you have answered this question, you are one step
closer to discovering your voice. This is because now, you
are on the right track and working towards developing your
own sound within your chosen genre. How do you go about
this?
-4. Practice Makes Perfect
As you begin to practice your genre of choice, be it music,
art, literature, you begin to grow confident in your chosen
pattern. As you grow more confident, you begin to discover
your strengths and also your weaknesses. This enables you
to become more conversant in your language.
-5. Learning Your Language
As you learn your language, you begin to speak. When you
have a chosen element of communication within your genre
of choice, this enables you to develop your voice.
-6. Speak
When you have found your language through exploration,
you have garnered experience. And in garnering this
experience, you have exposed yourself to learning your
sound. As you begin the language of communication, you
have begun to speak. Once you have begun to speak your
own unique truth, you have begun to discover your identity.
-7. Growth Through Discovery
This leads not only to aiding you to speak your truth to
enable others through their own unique situations, it
enables you to grow in the language of sound you possess.
Your language of sound may be in writing, music, dancing,
teaching and so on. And your message is important to your
environment.
-8. Helping Others
As you have begun to speak with your voice, you have begun
to enable others to learn their own. This will teach not only
those around you the importance of discovering who they
are, but more crucially, it will teach you the value in
nurturing who you have become.
-9. Communication
Speaking with your voice, will open doors of communication
for you and like-minded people. As you become more
confident in your sound, and you begin to allow yourself to
speak, you attract others of similar mindsets and similar
aspirations. This will enable you to grow in a community that
aspires to share and encourage your voice to speak.
-10. Expansion Through Experience
When this happens, you not only become more confident in
speaking but you grow more diverse because you have now
begun to interact with people that enable your voice to
become stronger, and more confident and developed in
communication.
-11. You Begin To Speak Different Languages
Hence your language of communication has branched out
into different forms of speaking. This is when as a writer, for
example you branch out from one genre of writing into
another or as a musician you branch from one branch of
music into another-you are allowing your voice to speak and
hence it has gathered growth.
-12. Progress=Attraction
During this process of transformation as your voice
becomes more developed, you will notice people have
become attracted to your sound. And these range of people
keep growing more and more diverse as you continue to
speak.
These are stages and steps I hope will encourage you to find
your voice, and more importantly challenge you into
speaking your truth..
