A short Q&A-style YouTube video where Peter Szabo explains how he developed his clear, attention-grabbing speaking voice. He says he did not undergo formal voice training; his voice reflects natural speaking habits plus influences from multilingual upbringing (Hungarian, Slovak, English, some Spanish), early English exposure (summer camps with American teachers), and extensive practice creating over a thousand videos since childhood entrepreneurship. He also recommends leisure learning (YouTube/TEDx on cadence, pauses, tonality) and practice to improve presentation skills.

Peter is understandable the language versatility that you have. But I would like to ask how you got this crystal clear voice that attracts the audience to the core of what you're saying or gives a clear slap to the mind. Have you undergone a voice training in this particular manner of addressing people once you created this SHS concept? Or did you have this brilliant voice from your growth, I mean, childhood? First of all, thank you so much. And no, I really haven't gone under any training or anything like that. It's just typically how I speak. I mean, I might have watched a couple YouTube videos in the past from, like, speakers, how to do a good speech and stuff like that. Probably not enough. You know, I think I could still be better. But there's a couple tips that they recommend, right? With tonality and cadence and different things like that, right? Like sometimes leaving the pause and then continuing to talk. It just makes what you talk about more interesting, right? Or playing with your tonality, like sometimes going a little bit lower, sometimes going a little bit higher. So. So stuff like that, but in no way, shape or form. In my professional voice person, actually, many of these terminologies, I don't even know. I just think I was always pretty good with languages. So my native languages are Hungarian and Slovak. I had to learn English on top of it, and then I learned a little bit of Spanish and stuff like that. But, yeah, I think in a way I was lucky enough that I started early, played a lot of video games that shaped my English. Parents were always also studying English, so they got me enrolled in extra classes. So, yeah, to me, it's a second language. I think a lot of hours invested into second classes and, you know, playing video games or just using it young enough was very helpful. Some people say that I have a bit of an American accent. That's because I had some American people fly into my, you know, small town in Slovakia teaching these English camps over the summer. So I signed up to that. They were from Texas, actually El Paso, but, yeah, other than that, nothing. If you want to work on your voice, I would just Recommend maybe Google, YouTube, some videos from, like, TedX, you know, speakers and, you know, professional speakers, they give some good advice and it just comes down to a few little things and a bit of practice. But again, voice, I don't know. I appreciate your comment, but I think I got to work on my presentation skills and stuff like that even a little more. But however far I've gotten so far, I think it kind of comes down to practice, right? I've been in business since 11, so it's been quite a while. And since then, I've looked at YouTube and all, like some, you know, content I've recorded or marketing stuff I've created or anything I've done. I think there's like, over a thousand videos recorded, right? So once you record, like, a thousand videos, it becomes easier, Sam.
