Ever wondered why some people can be heard across a playground, a hall, or a rehearsal roomโฆ
ย โฆeven when theyโre speaking at a perfectly normal volume?
And no โ itโs not because theyโre loud.
ย Itโs because their voice travels.
Hereโs the science behind it:
๐ค Itโs all about resonance
ย Some people naturally hit frequencies that vibrate the chest, throat, and mouth in a way that boosts the sound without effort.
ย Itโs not shouting โ itโs efficient amplification.
๐ Voices with strong overtones carry further
ย Your ear is especially sensitive to the 2,000โ5,000 Hz range โ the same area where speech sits.
ย If someoneโs voice has clear, bright overtones in that band, your brain locks onto it instantly.
๐ฃ๏ธ Projection isnโt loudness โ itโs direction
ย Some voices come out like a focused beam.
ย Others scatter in all directions (lovely for lullabies, useless for giving instructions on a windy field).
People who โcarryโ naturally send sound forward, which means:
ย โ teachers
ย โ presenters
ย โ actors
ย โ musicians
ย โ certain parents
ย โฆall tend to have this trait.
๐บ Musicians know this instinctively
ย Brass players, singers, and wind players learn to โplaceโ the sound so it cuts through the room.
ย Itโs not about more power โ itโs about aim.
๐ซ And this is why some people can speak to 200 children without a mic
ย Their voice simply finds the frequencies your brain pays attention to.
Some voices blend.
ย Some voices soothe.
And some voices travel.
Not louder.
Just smarter.
