Our initial voiced sound from the vocal folds (vocal cords) is modulated by the resonance in different cavities in our body. For a speaking voice, there are two major centers of resonance: Head Center & Heart Center.
Most people in this overwhelmed society end up with a voice that mainly resonates from the Head Center. The voice is thin, lack of depth and with a higher pitch. The voice is trapped in the throat, withheld in the mouth and failed to express you freely and fully. This voice is the result of thinking and doing: getting things done, completing another task, or taking control of everything in your life. It disconnects you with your feeling and simply being.
People whose voice resonates from the Heart Center enjoy a fuller, richer and deeper voice. They express their emotions without holding back and assert themselves without hesitation. It's the result of not just thinking and doing, but also feeling and experiencing. It brings balance and harmony to themselves as well as those around them.
Everyone can discover their voice resonance in the Heart Center, connect with themselves from the view of totality, and experience lives fully and freely.
How to achieve that?
Start from breathing properly.
Stresses have made people breathe very shallowly and accumulated tensions in the upper chest, shoulders and neck. That's why your voice is trapped in your throat. It's impossible to resonate from your Heart Center when you are with shallow breath.
Learn to breathe properly and deeply and connect with your voice in a deeper way.
