Now, here's another little trick to make us sound so much more dynamic.
I call it the Morgan Freeman technique.
If I were to ask you to describe Morgan Freeman's voice to me, a lot of my students say, oh, it's
very deep.
It's a deep pronounced sound.
But if you really listen to Morgan Freeman utilizes his whole range, which makes what he says is much
more effective versus if I were to just talk like that, see how boring that is, you just want to fall
asleep.
But if I really add dynamic to my voice, like Morgan Freeman, what you say will go a long way.
So you notice I used everything from there to down there.
Now, if I were to read the Little Red Riding Hood in a very plain way with no no dynamic at all or
range like Morgan Freeman, once upon a time there was a dear little girl who was loved by everyone
who looked at her might if I read that to my kids, they'd be screaming out the door or falling asleep
enough because they like the story.
That's why are using the Morgan Freeman technique.
We're using our whole range.
Once upon a time, there was a dear little girl who was loved by everyone who looked at her.
So I went from all the way up there to down here again.
It sounds a bit corny.
It sounds a bit fake.
But when you're going to the gym and you're doing one particular exercise over and over and over again,
doesn't mean you going to walk down the street and do that.
You're working a particular muscle.
And by really focusing on using your range as well as the setups and the results when you practice it
here on your own, then when you're out in the world without even knowing it, you're going to be much
more dynamic in your communication skills and you're going to be much more effective.
I also teach lawyers.
I have lawyer clients who come to me to help me help them present their opening statements with so much
more dynamics.
And it's been having wonderful success by implementing these two very simple techniques, by really
emphasizing the spaces, the setup, the resolve and utilizing your voice.
And I've been doing a lot of research by finding those pauses.
It's a much more effective opening statements for these lawyers.
For example, Your Honor, my client came from ballet class and was on her way home and got hit by a
car by a drunk driver.
No effect on the jury at all.
Your Honor, my client was walking home from ballet class and was hit.
By a drunk driver.
So much more effect.
What did I do, I use the range and I found those pauses.
I'm telling you, if you could implement that now in your speech technique, it's going to be much more
effective.
OK.
