"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

i'm signing up for classes for the fall term, and contemplating taking beg. singing. "This course offers group instruction in vocal technique with an emphasis on classical solo literature."

will taking such a class improve my voice overall?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I sing regularly and id say that no, learning to sing doesnt 'improve' your talking voice.

It will improve your voice in a singing type of way but i certainly havnt noticed any improvement or change in how i speak... altho perhaps it might assist you with projection. Thats assuming u have a problem with projection using ur regular voice!

It depends... If you have a problem with speaking to quietly, hushing over your words, and not projecting your voice very well then yes it will help (if your concious of the problem, and want to change those issues).

If that's not the case then it's not going to do anything but teach you how to sing. Which all in all isn't a bad skill to have.
