When using your voice


How you can get what you want using your voice

'Communication in any situation is divided into three things; 55% is how we look when we say it, 38% how we sound and just seven % is the content itself.'

Research has shown we sound sexiest first in the morning because our vocal tract is relaxed.

And without knowing it, we often make judgments based on voices.

If you meet me and see me wearing jeans you may think I look too casual. Either way, you consciously notice yourself thinking this. At the same time you'll be judging my personality based on my voice. You probably won't know you're doing it, making the voice an even more powerful tool.'

Most men like women to have breathy tones and women like deep, powerful ones.

Sometimes, men try too hard to have a deep voice but end up sounding monotone, which is boring. Humans like tunes and tones because they convey feelings.

Even in the womb, we pick them up through our mother's voice and music. Instead, concentrate on variation: 'Always change your pitch, pace and volume. It will make you seem more interesting.'

Another tip is to pay attention to the person you're trying to impress. 'Take note of the rate they speak at. If they speak slowly and you talk quickly, they may find the speed hard to process and will quickly lose interest.

If you really want to notch up your prowess, you just need to relax. Research has shown we sound sexiest first thing in the morning because our vocal tract is relaxed. If your voice is stuck in your throat or nose, it will turn people off. Instead, let it come from your stomach. 'State and mood are contagious and however you feel comes out in your voice.'

I agree.

Some muslim scholar in the 7th century said: your appearance elevate you before you sit and your word elevate you after you sit. I guess it depends on who is listening.
