The human voice is a wonderful musical instrument and we rely on it to transmit the symphony of our thoughts and feelings. In our professional lives, the ability to persuade determines financial success. But, lets face it, everything in life is about presentation, we connect with people based on how well we do it. Whether we are teachers, CEO’s, sales people, lawyers, politicians, religious leaders or managers, the voice is the engine that carries ideas to people.
Our voices provide the point of first contact… so how our voices behave is really important.
We all want to be able to communicate effectively in our personal and professional lives… and we all want to do it better and more successfully. No matter who we are, we all seek the power to persuade.
How often has our whole day been changed by someone’s tone of voice, for good or bad? If someone says “don’t take that tone of voice with me” we know that we have miscalculated how we’ve said something… but whether someone is angry or not, tone of voice is always present either working for us or against us. Constantly, we see that some people are better at it than others.
For example, two salespeople prepare the same presentation and one is not as successful as other. What is the key? What is missing when the words are the same for two people but the results are dramatically different?
The answer is contained in the manner of delivery.
How we say it determines if they’ll hear it… Rapport is a vocal skill. Success is a voice driven activity that can be learned or improved. The best way to improve communication skills is by studying the art of voiceovers.
None of this is magic. Rapport is composed of certain elements in our delivery.
Becoming aware of those elements, … mastering them, …hands us the keys to effective and successful communication that can take our lives to a whole new level of success.
