说话声音比说的内容还重要

Some voice problems have a medical cause, such as nodules on the vocal folds, or cords. A hearing impairment can cause people to talk too loudly, says Edie Hapner, director of speech-language pathology at the Emory Voice Center at Emory University. Also, advanced age can cause a person's voice to lose volume, she says.

心烦的听者常常觉得说话者那恼人的说话声音是根本无法改变的，而说话的人常常又认识不到问题的存在。但在大多数情况下，人们的说话声音可以通过治疗、训练或参考别人的反馈得到加强或改善。

But many voice problems can be eased through therapy, including exercises to support the voice through improved breathing, or to strengthen laryngeal muscles or change the way they work.

有些声音问题有医学上的原因，比如声襞或声带上有小瘤子。埃默里语音中心言语病理学主任埃迪•哈浦纳(Edie Hapner)说，听觉障碍可能会导致说话声音太大。她还说，年老可能会导致说话音量太小。

Speech pathologist Jayne Latz says she often receives requests for voice coaching after performance reviews in which a boss raises the issue as a problem for co-workers or customers. She uses sound-level equipment and audio recordings to make clients more aware of how they sound. She also teaches vocal exercises and helps clients replace filler words such as 'you know' with a pause for emphasis, says Ms. Latz, president of Corporate Speech Solutions, New York City.
