Managing your professional voice
When we speak, our listeners get an impression of how we feel from our tone of voice
We can sound pleasant & friendly, angry & upset, or irritated & frustrated.
It is not enough to just say the right words, we also need to be cautious about the tone we use, so that we convey our message effectively
How do you want to be perceived?
Do you let your underlying emotions interfere in your daily conversations with others?
If you do, then you may be sending the wrong messages!
Firm or harsher voice
Our melody is more controlled, so that when we stress important words with less up & down pitch changes
Our speaking volume may be louder
Facial expressions are more controlled & the person may be frowning, with no smile
Friendly tone of voice Our up &down pitch when
stressing words is more extreme - we tend to make higher pitch changes
Speaking volume may be softer, but not necessarily-generally a quieter voice will signal a less aggressive tone
When we are happy, we generally smile when we speak - people can hear it! Use your smile as much as you
can to help your speech sound more pleasing to others!
Make the first impression that will last in a very
positive way.
