How to clear your throat?

Some people speak in clear voices, while others speak in hoarse voices. This is usually related to the throat. Some people with problems such as pharyngitis are prone to hoarseness, and may also experience sore throat, itching and other discomforts. If the speaking voice is not pleasant, the first thing to do is to find the cause and then promptly treat the symptoms. How to make the throat clear? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Deep breathing exercises

Do deep breathing exercises and fill your lungs with air, which can add power to every word you utter. To make sure you are doing this correctly, take a deep breath first; if your chest just expands, your breathing is too shallow. Take deep breaths repeatedly until your diaphragm (the layer of skin at the bottom of your chest) expands. To test the actual effect, you can place your hand on your abdomen and confirm that it rises with each inhalation.

Poor posture can restrict your breathing movement and greatly reduce the power of your vocal sound. Make sure your upper body is straight when you speak. If necessary, you can use this trick: imagine a rope extending from the base of your spine to the top of your head, and then pull it taut. But don't pull it too tight, make sure your whole body is relaxed. Don't worry if this feels unnatural at first.

2. Speaking skills

1. Increase the volume: If you are used to speaking in a low voice all your life, it is very likely that the volume you hear in your head is not the volume received by others. If you usually speak with 50% of your effort, now start to increase it to 70%. Don't worry about speaking too loudly; your friends may compliment you on how clear you are speaking.

2. Slow down your speaking speed: Speaking too fast is one of the most common and fatal oral mistakes. Not only will it make others unable to understand you, but it will also give people the impression that you are nervous and unconfident, and make them ignore what you say.

3. Notes

1. In fact, during the developmental stage around the age of thirteen or fourteen, boys will have a voice change period, which usually lasts about a year. During this time, the voice will feel a little strange, but there is no need to panic or worry, as it will be fine after this stage.

2. Pay attention to your daily living habits, don't smoke, eat less greasy and fried food, it's best not to eat it. Most importantly, drink more water, add some honey, drink some tea that is good for your throat, and exercise more.

3. Protect your throat and don’t speak or shout loudly, as this will hurt your throat. You can also receive professional training, practice singing and bel canto, learn vocal music, and change your voice.

4. Sing more. Some people may not speak well but sing well. Listen to more music, some beautiful and melodious songs, learn to sing along while listening. Over time, your voice may become more beautiful imperceptibly.

5. Boost your self-confidence. People will not mind your voice that much. As long as you have advantages in other aspects, no one will care about your voice.
