have you ever experienced that when you speak, people don't listen to you
Annoying isn't it
why?
Julian treasure believes there are seven deadly
sins of speaking
GOSSIP
Judging
Negativity
complaining
exaggeration
blaming
dogmatism
But how can you make your speech powerful
hail
And its not only what you say that matters
it's also the way you say it
For that there is an amazing toolbox
There are 6 tools with which we can play with to increase the power of
speaking
1. Register – to speak with weight
People associate depth of voice with power and
with authority
All great leaders speak with deep voices
2.timbre - the way voice feels
People prefer voices which are rich, smooth and warm
3. Prosody - the meta-language used to impart meaning
People who speak all on one note are really quite hard
to listen to if they don't have any prosody at all.
4. Pace - the speed with which one speaks
Speaking with high pace depicts excitement while
speaking slowly emphasizes emotion
5. pitch indicates arousal
Speaking with different pitch leads to different meanings
6. Volume
High Volume shows excitement in speaker and low
volume can make audience really very attentive
Now Imagine a
world designed for sound.
The world in which speaking powerfully to people who were listening consciously in environments
designed consciously
That would be a world that does
sound beautiful and one
where understanding would be the norm
