In reply to how do you make your voice sound confident?, posted by mike99 on February 19, 2006, at 19:18:27
I took a voice and diction class which helped alot with my confidence. You have to record yourself reading and you become VERY aware of how you sound. I think I've become a much better speaker after that class, if only by becoming more aware.
Eye contact is a big thing too. I still have a problem with that, but I'm getting better.
Also if you're talking to an individual, when wrapping up make sure you say their name. Like, "Nice talking to you Mike!" Or "Thank you Mr. Jones, I appreciate your time."
