Test your frequency


Hi Reader

In my last email, I spoke about how your voice frequency impacts how people perceive you—and why a range around 125 Hz tends to sound more confident and pleasant.

Now here’s the obvious next question: “How do I know my frequency?”

You don’t need a studio, or any need expensive equipment.

Your phone is enough. There’s a mobile app called Voice Tools. (It's there in Appstore but I'm sure there should be a similar one in Playstore as well). It’s simple, free, and surprisingly powerful.

Here’s what it lets you do:

• See your voice pitch in real time
• Measure your speaking frequency (in Hz)
• Track how your voice changes as you speak
• Practice lowering and stabilizing your tone

It looks like this...


How to Use the App.

  1. Install the app
  2. Open the Pitch.
  3. Start speaking naturally (don’t try to “perform”)
  4. Talk for 20–30 seconds
  5. Observe the average frequency range

Try this this simple exercise.

Record yourself twice:

Version 1: Speak normally and see your frequency is... if it' s within 100 to 150 Hz.. you are good. If not....
Version 2: Slow down, breathe deeper, and relax your throat

Now compare the frequency.

Most people notice that their voice naturally drops closer to a more pleasant range when they relax.

When your voice is stable and grounded, people listen longer, you sound more confident and your words carries more weight. And based on research, more money in your bank.

If you try this, just reply and tell me your range—I’d love to hear what you discover.

Voice is just one aspect. In the next email, I'll share something super cool. You can self diagnose areas that'll need to change. Keep a watch for this.

As always, thanks for being awesome!

Hi Reader, Hope your week is gearing up. I came across someone recently who made me pause. Not because of what he said…but because of what he didn’t say. His name is Baba Hari Dass. (not sure if you have heard about him. I'm assuming you have not.) And for most of his life, he didn’t speak. Not occasionally. Not at all!!! When I first read that, I had the same reaction you probably have right now: “How can someone teach… without speaking?” I assumed it was symbolic. Maybe exaggerated. It...

Hi Reader, Most career growth conversations don’t happen during annual appraisals. They happen in small moments. A quick update in a meeting. A casual question from your boss. A stakeholder asking, “So how’s that project going?” And strangely… those small moments decide a lot. Here’s where many people go wrong. Someone (Ok, mostly it's your boss) asks, “How’s the project going?” And the answer sounds like this: “Yeah… it’s going okay… we had an issue, and team worked on it. There were a few...

Hi Reader, Most people think they struggle in meetings because they’re not confident. That’s not the real problem. The real problem? They’re unprepared for the moments that matter. Let me explain. Important conversations at work are actually predictable. Your boss will ask for updates.. Stakeholders will ask questions.. Someone will challenge your idea,, You’ll get a chance to talk about your work,, And yet…Most people walk into these moments hoping they’ll say the right thing. They don’t....
