Finding Your Voice in English

To feel comfortable speaking English, recognizing the difference between one’s physical and metaphorical voice is crucial. A speaker may need to adjust their tone for their second language, as the sound may differ compared to their native language. Exercises and understanding one’s vocal range can help in this exploration, emphasizing that comfort is key. It's important not to force the voice into an uncomfortable range but to find a natural expression that aligns with their identity in English.
