INSTRUCTIONS FOR EVALUATING YOUR VOICE
© copyright 2003, The Great Voice Company | All Rights Reserved.

1. Choose your evaluators. You will need at least 3 for an objective evaluation. Trusted business colleagues with voice mail are best. Do not choose family members, or a spouse.

2. Forward them this web page. Ask them to listen to the message you will be sending and to fill out the evaluation forms and send them back to you.

3. Call each evaluator and leave two messages. In the first you will read the evaluation script below. In the second you will ad lib for about 20 seconds, as if leaving a business-oriented voice mail.

4. Thank your evaluators for their help.

5. Review the evaluation sheets. Make special note of any feedback, positive or negative, that was mentioned by more than one person.
Compare this objective feedback with your feelings about your own speaking voice. Are you on or off target about yourself?

6. Create a personal voice improvement plan based on the feedback you received. See my VoiceShaping course for help.
