Many people aren’t commanding. When these people speak up, they don’t sound confident. It’s hard to hear what they are saying. It could be because they worry what others may think. Maybe they don’t want to impose on others by being too loud. To be the speaker you want to be you need volume.
How loud should a person’s default volume be when speaking to a group? It should be right below yelling. If it’s right below yelling, your words will be clear. At that loudness, your volume won’t convey a lack of confidence, but you’ll be perceived as someone with conviction.
Keep your desired energy when you speak loudly. When people working together try to speak louder for clarity, their vocal tone can sound like anger. Avoid this, and try to keep your energy positive or neutral. Choose to exert the energy of a motivational speaker, a professor, or a singer.
By speaking loudly with the right energy, you will be heard and understood.
