Voice Demonstrating Discomfort?

Some speakers demonstrate their discomfort in their voice.

Most often, when we are nervous or uncomfortable we go higher in our vocal register.  The solution is to go much lower in the vocal register temporarily without getting monotone.  This will have a calming affect on the body and mind.

I recently worked with a client who demonstrated a shakiness in his voice during presentations.  I suggested that he first get very grounded by doing a quick technique to calm him instantly that I teach clients.  I then recommended that he slow down his words just a tad to have more control of how the words were coming out. The final component is to use the diaphragm to push the words slightly forward through his mouth.
