Communication Is Like Baking
Our speaking voice is the most important communication tool we have. Yet, we undervalue our voice as simply a channel through which our words communicate. But actually, our vocal qualities communicate much more (or less) than we realize!
Think of it this way - verbal communication is like baking; You have all the ingredients to make an amazing recipe, but sometimes it just doesn’t turn out. Then you realize some of your ingredients are expired, some aren’t measured accurately, etc.… you get the idea.
Or think of yourself as a master chef, and you only have 5 ingredients to cook with. The way you mix and combine them will determine if your food is amazing, or not.
Effective communication is the same; you can say all the right words and comunicate all the wrong meaning simply because you’re unaware of what your vocal qualities are communicating. Science shows that your vocal tone, pitch, pace, volume etc. makes up 90% of what is communicated to your listener. It’s not just about your words or even your body language.
Training your speaking voice to make your communications more effective and compelling unlocks a life of greater influence, confidence and connection where people truly enjoy conversations with you and listen attentively to what you have to say.
