I don't think a lot of people consider their speaking voice on a regular basis, but how we carry our vocal chords (pitch, amount of vocal fry, placement, etc) is just as much a self expression as the clothes we wear. People assume so many things about you based on your voice, and they change over time.
Before a big meeting or a social engagement or just as a morning routine, consider starting your day with some light vocal exercises to make you sound confident & clear. turns out, ppl will want to listen to you more!!!

Technically, anyone can sing. If you can match a pitch, you can sing. Try out some basic vocal exercises and experiment with placement. Don’t worry about sounding “good”, even if it sounds like you‘re yelling. A daily vocal practice will result in a tone and style that’s completely unique to you!

Isn’t there something abt how singing 10 mins every day is good for you? And it doesn’t matter if you sound bad and you have headphones in

I started doing this when I was a performing musician and found it was the best way to fix technique, but it is super helpful generally for fixing whatever material you have to present in front of people: presentations, speeches, intro statements, things like that. Set up your phone for video or just audio, do your thing, watch it back, note every time you look or sound insane, fix it, film it over again. It’s based on the heuristic that our critical mechanism is by nature more developed than our creative mechanism, so it is much easier to respond to an existing thing than to conjure something out of nothing inside your mind. I know it is cringe, but avoid at your own social peril.

Last year my new year's resolution was to get hotter. To this day it is the best resolution I've ever made, because feeling hot forces you to be embodied.
In 2023 I genuinely put time and energy into considering my corporeal form. What cuts of clothing make me feel powerful? What colors? What fabrics do I like to feel on my skin? What hairstyles accentuate my bone structure? What physical activity could I actually sustain and enjoy? How does my body feel energetically when I eat certain foods?
It brought me out of a haze of digital overwhelm; I was no longer an avatar but a living, breathing, sweating, dancing, fucking human. Consider getting hotter today!
