from Ignite Your Confidence with Karen Laos · host Karen Laos
Tangible Takeaways:Speak louder - when we speak louder, it takes intention and attention to do this, forcing you to slow down and articulate. When you speak, open up your mouth bigger. This may feel strange, but often mumbling comes from a closed-off mouth.Practice the pause and speak slower. This helps with clarity.Breathe intentionally. It supports the strength of your voice.Speak in sound bursts - go loud and fast, and change your pitch from low to high. Variety keeps people engaged.

What this episode covers
Your voice is powerful, and your ideas are brilliant, but all of this can be clouded when people struggle to understand what you’re saying. In today’s episode, I focus less on your message and more on your articulation. Often this happens when we fail to complete our words, which results in making others work extra hard to understand. If people commonly ask you to repeat yourself or express that they did not hear you clearly, this episode is for you! I share tips and tricks that you can practice today to help transform your message from unclear to clear and powerful.
