Jill Mattson – Our voice is a composite of different combinations of elemental energy. The elements represent energy and this energy can be detected in our voices.

Fabien Maman describes elemental sounds that can be found in our voices: [1]

Metal feels clear and resonant. Some teachers have metallic voices that keep the class awake and command attention. In an unbalanced state people with this voice can be overly meticulous or overwhelming in crowded places.

Air has the feel of uplifting energy, taking one away from the Earthly plane. This voice does not feel grounded or weighted down.

Water emulates kindness and understanding. It can be intoxicating, soothing, healing and uplifting. A person with this voice links words and ideas. In an unbalanced state this voice type can be draining and sad.

Wood has the feel of a soft and vibrant nature. A person with this sensitive voice needs peace and quiet.

Fire emits enthusiasm and loving vibrations that transmit joy. This quality conveys impressive, exciting, arousing, awakening and even horrible impressions. When a person with this voice is unbalanced he can be overwhelming, to the point of hysteria.

Earth creates stillness, security, quietude, slow movement, reflection and a calm low pitch. It can offer hope, inspiration, encouragement and temptation. In an unbalanced condition, this person is too slow and depressed.

Fabien Maman sums up voice energies, “The voice expresses ‘perfectly’ inner fear, anger, sadness or joy and reveals even more subtle nuances which are related not only to emotions, but to level of consciousness.” [2]

Having elemental sounds in your voice creates emotional energy.

To incorporate a strength into your personality use matching elemental sound in your voice.
