A tired voice only convinces folks that you stayed up half the night preparing for the presentation. It may also mean that you had techno issues  that wore you out.

Now I am not suggesting that you ignore the fact that your are tired and need to rest. What I am suggesting is that you do not allow the tired, f atique heavy voice  to dampen your enthusiasm you need for your message.

Imagine the internet marketer who is sharing their unique product offer during a teleseminar saying. “I am so excited about this product, it will transform your online marketing.” If that line of text is delivered with a lack luster tone contradicting any real excitement you think the listeners will be convinced?

Sometimes I hear online marketers also deliver a line like the one above with a “matter of fact tone of voice.” It is almost as if they are required to share that line with you and cannot wait to just finish and crash.

So what am I suggesting?

I am suggesting that you even if you are tired, drink some water , remind yourself why presenting and force yourself to be energetic. Carefully, take breaths before words that need energy and speak slowing so you can place inflection on key words like “excited” and”transform”

Just remember, it is your message, your product and your responsibility persuade your listeners.

But [...]]]> Put energy in your voice when conducting online training. I am currently watching a online training video on Outlook 2007. I am tired but pushing myself because it is critical that I take my outlook to a higher level. Of course I rather finish watching a martial arts video with Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

But I was surprised and perked up when I heard Brian Culp start the introduction to the tutorial. His voice had great inflection and energy. I am now looking forward to learning. What a difference a voice can make. If you are interested in hearing his voice you can visit Baby Boomer Software Training and just listen to the first few tutorials for free. You will see what I mean.

Meanwhile, I am going to enjoy learning Outlook!
