Latest news from the Vocal Coaching world

Motivational speeches are those that aim to inspire and motivate listeners to take action or make positive changes in their lives. They are often delivered by those who have achieved success in their field, overcame challenges, or possess qualities considered unique, but in reality, every day ordinary people, even unintentionally, create equally memorable ones for their co-workers, loved ones, or children.

The main goal of a motivational speech is to transmit a sense of energy and excitement in the audience, helping them to feel more confident, optimistic and strong. In this article we will discuss motivational speeches in simple terms, including their purpose, structure and key elements, clearly through the lens of Inborn Voice voice coaching, the leader in the voice training.

What is the purpose of Motivational Speeches?

Every day we relate ourselves to society and other people. As we grow up, we have learned to “recognize” certain aspects of these interactions by constructing “first impressions” and thus “biases.” These automatisms can be related to all five of our senses, I would even say to our “sixth sense.” Without going into the details of the consequences of these prejudices, which are personal, we are all prone to react when faced with people who smell bad, who are not dressed decently or who speak strangely.

No to icy or hot drinks. Let’s dispel the myth of hot milk with honey: milk increases mucus production and heat dilates the tissues of the vocal cords. Cold, on the other hand, makes them contract too much. Either way, the voice suffers. Hydrating the vocal cords is essential, explains vocal coach Milena Origgi: “Drinking water goes down the esophagus and does not touch the vocal cords, which are in the larynx. But at least two liters of water a day hydrates them from the inside.”
