Teacher Voice Trainer

Master your attention voice for effective classroom management

Prepare Your Introduction Script

Before we practice with the proper voice level, let's prepare what you'll say. Record a 15-second introduction that includes:

  • Your name
  • How long you've been teaching
  • What you're excited about teaching

Recording... 15s remaining

Your Introduction:

Welcome to the Attention Voice Trainer!

One of the most important skills for classroom management is developing your "attention voice" - the ability to raise your voice to a high, even level to get everyone's attention.

This interactive training module will help you practice and perfect this essential skill.

What you'll need:

  • A quiet environment
  • A device with a microphone
  • Permission to access your microphone

How it works:

  1. You'll see a video of an unruly classroom
  2. You'll hear ambient classroom noise
  3. When prompted, use your "attention voice" to introduce yourself
  4. Get immediate feedback on your voice volume
  5. Practice three times to complete the exercise

Voice Calibration

Before we begin, let's calibrate your microphone to your environment.

Excellent Voice Level!

Your voice is at an appropriate level for an attention voice. This confident, projected tone will help students recognize when you need their attention.

Continue with your introduction using this voice level.

✗

Voice Too Soft

Your voice needs to be louder to effectively get students' attention. Try projecting from your diaphragm rather than your throat.

Speak confidently and clearly above the classroom noise.

  • Consistency in tone and volume helps students recognize when you need their attention
  • Practice your attention voice regularly so it becomes natural
