One definition in the Merriam-Webster dictionary says projection is:
“control of the volume, clarity, and distinctness of a voice to gain greater audibility”
At LinkedIn Pulse on February 8, 2022 there is a good article by Sandra McKnight titled Projection - Your Most Powerful Public Speaking Tool. But she starts her second paragraph by claiming:
“The problem is, nobody really tells you how to do it.”
That simply is not true. For example, the Toastmasters International publication titled Your Speaking Voice, from June 2011 (their Item 199) which can be downloaded as a 22-page .pdf file, discusses projecting your voice on pages 9 and 10.
A guest post by Kate Peters at the Six Minutes blog on March 24, 2010 is titled Speak Up! A Guide to Voice Projection. An article by Lisa Braithwaite at Speak Schmeak on July 22, 2010 is titled 4 tips for better vocal projection. A second article by Lisa B. Marshall at Quick and Dirty Tips on April 25, 2014 is titled How to Project Your Voice. A third article by Tina Blake on October 31, 2016 is titled How to be heard: Voice projection. A fourth article by Bill Rosenthal at Communispond on December 20, 2018 is titled Voice projection: Where presentation confidence starts. A fifth article by Gale McCreary at WikiHow on September 15, 2021 is titled How to project your normal speaking voice.
And a 2012 book by Judy Apps titled Voice and Speaking Skills for Dummies has a section in Chapter 7 on Volume and Speed titled Projecting Your Voice.
