Being in Voice vs Speakate

Your voice is amazing. Your voice is you, audible. Your voice is your body, imagination and intellect all together at once. These warmup programs are suitable for public speakers, singers, actors, podcasters, choristers, teachers – anyone who uses their voice for more than everyday conversations. They will help you to tone up your voice, keeping it fit and lively for public and professional use. A voice warmup is a sequence of exercises for stimulating blood flow to the larynx (voice box) and the vocal folds, making it safe to stretch and tone up your voice. This app provides a basic warmup to wake up your voice first thing in the morning, and cool it down last thing at night, and an extended version to tone up the muscles and develop power and range. When you use your voice, you express yourself and, in doing so, you communicate something of yourself to the world beyond yourself. Your voice is physical, and your support for your voice is ALL of you, ALL of the time. Working on your voice is not just working on your whole body, it is working on your whole self. BEING in voice means being comfortable with your voice and your vocal potential. Being IN voice means experiencing, with awareness, the physical reality of your own voice as the sound of your self. Being in VOICE means sharing your thoughts, your ideas and your words by means of a sound, healthy, audible and interesting voice.

Speakate is a daily voice practice. One short session a day, already chosen for you, to build a steadier, clearer, more confident speaking voice. Most voice advice is a pile of tips you never act on. Speakate gives you one thing at a time: today's session, four to eight minutes, then you close the app. WHAT YOU PRACTICE Seven core modules, in the order a coach would teach them: - Breath Control - the engine. Everything else sits on top of this. - Relaxation and Resonance - let the body go, then find where the voice rings. - Pausing and Pacing - slow down, and let a silence do the work. - Articulation - crisp edges. Every word arrives whole. - Volume and Projection - louder from support, never from the throat. - Pitch Variety and Tonal Control - kill the monotone and control the tone. - Real-World Speaking - take it into calls, meetings and conversations. Repetition is the method. You do the same small set of drills every day for a week or two before the next module opens, because that is how a voice actually changes. BUILT AROUND YOUR VOICE Tell Speakate what trips you up and the modules reorder so yours comes earlier. Thirteen optional modules, such as Filler Words, Vocal Fry and Clear Endings, and Resonance and Depth, are added only when your answers or your voice test point to them. Nothing is locked. THE VOICE TEST Answer four questions and talk for 20 seconds. Speakate measures your pitch, pace, energy and control, gives you a voice type, and uses the result to shape your plan. SOUND MODE Follow the day's session by ear. Spoken instructions keep playing with the screen locked. THEN AND NOW At the start you record two short takes. Later you record them again and play the two side by side, so you can hear your own change. BUILT TO KEEP YOU GOING Streaks, points and milestones for the days you show up. One session at a time, so you are never staring at a long list. VOICE NUDGES Optional reminders through the day, each a different tip. "Start the first sentence lower." "Pause instead of saying um." Off until you turn them on. YOUR PRIVACY Takes you keep for playback are saved on your phone. A few features need to count your words: the pace checks, the filler count and the voice test. For those, the take is sent securely to be transcribed and is not stored. The microphone runs only while you are recording or in a live drill, never in the background. No advertising, no third-party trackers, nothing sold. What syncs is your practice log and results, so your streak follows you to a new phone.
