Quite frankly it amazes me that so few people ever do anything about improving their vocal skills and that covers both the sound of their voice and their ability to deliver meaningful information with impact.

Spending time with a voice coach to learn to use your voice in a powerful and persuasive way is a great idea… prior to the late Margaret Thatcher becoming British Prime Minister she had experts help her lower her voice a full two octaves to improve her presence, stature and delivery. No one could now imagine her as Prime Minister with a high-pitched squeaky voice.

Similarly too, if you are careless with grammar or pronunciation, get some expert help to help you correct your mistakes.

Recognising that some people do need help with their voice, just like Margaret Thatcher, I recorded an interview with Voice Coach Barbara Johns on how to have a golden voice and a silver tongue for my Business Marketing audio series. For only $2 dollars you can download her great advice here (Track 10). Or for just $15 download the whole edition of Business Marketing on which that interview appeared here.
