DOES YOUR VOICE BETRAY THE DEPTH OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?
Do you think you would be more effective in getting your message across- getting what you want from others- if you were more “commanding�?? Voice quality in today’s world is a necessary requirement- especially because so many of our daily activities are conducted on the phone. In business -and socially, as well – the impact of our voice determines how persuasive and engaging we are. When communicating sight unseen the voice alone delivers the message. A shaky, breathy, garbled voice- with weak inflection and mired in regional accents not only undermine the information you offer but also your intelligence. Developing the voice into an effective tool of communication will ensure the power and impact of the speaker as well as the information.
