There is no right answer to this question.
In my view these are not necessary skills. With this skills, if head is empty, they only make loud noises which do not help arguments.
Loud speaking and Public speaking may have advantages. But I don't think them sine qua non for legal practice.
However, if a junior Advocate wants to develop these skills, I recollect two observations.
A) A lawyer used to give dictation to his steno, by asking him to sit 10 feet away from him. Naturally, lawyer will have to dictate in High Pitched loud voice. This trains vocal cords. In laptop, if you have Dragon Software for voice to text, you can try to dictate by keeping laptop ten feet away.
2) A lawyer had 20 feet long office. Opposite his table, there were only two chairs for clients to sit. Rest of the clients will sit in chairs placed near wall at 20 feet distance. Now lawyer will talk in such a loud voice that his client sitting 20 feet away can also listen him. Thi used to impress them.
Unfortunately, I am not a money oriented guy and hence I detasted such methods and never practiced them. You can try if it appeals to you. Wish you best of luck.
