Got a few minutes when nobody else is around -- such as when you're walking down the street or stuck in a traffic jam?
Use this time to enrich the sound of voice by keeping your mouth lightly closed and -- hum. It could be anything -- a song you know or just make up a melodious hum of your own. This will help you to develop a nice resonant tone to your voice.
And according to Dr. Oz in his latest show if your combine such a hum with a light knock on your thyroid which is situated in the top of the bony area just below your Adam's Apple you can also boost your energy. (You might want to check with your medical or naturopathic physician before trying this second technique, but for most people it does work and has no unpleasant side effects.

A Word to Know
Having a good vocabulary is critical to everyone, but especially to a writer or speaker so here is one to start our little treasury:
Boon: A timely or welcome benefit, something bestowed on somebody such as the Order of Canada or in England a knighthood.
"His receiving the Order of Canada was a boon to his prestige in the community which tended to doubt his sincerity."
