How to speak so

that people want to

listen?

-Julian Treasure

THE HUMAN VOICE!

It is the most powerful sound in

the world! An instrument which everyone

can play.

Which can Start a WAR…

Or, which can say I love you

Yet, sometimes..okay most of the times, nobody seems interested in what we speak

WHY?

Because you are guilty of any of the seven deadly sins

of speaking !

#1 GOSSIP

Speaking ill of others behind their back..A strict No-No !

#2 JUDGING

#3 NEGATIVITY

#4 COMPLAINING

#5 EXCUSES

#6

#7 DOGMATISM

Don’t worry! We all have been there. However, there are 4 ways to make your speech awesome

HAIL!• H – Honesty (Be clear and straight) • A - Authenticity ( Stand in your own truth)• I – Integrity (Be your word)• L- Love ( Wish people well)

But wait! It’s not only what you say, but How you say !Use your vocal Chords in an Optimum way.

Register Timbre

Prosody Pace

Pitch Volume

It All comes into play in different Occasions !

For example , while Giving a Presentation..

Or A Wedding speech..

Julian Treasure suggests to Warm up your voice before giving a talk!

Pay Attention..Coming up are four vocal warm up exercises

#1 Arms up, Deep Breath in, and Sigh out

#2 Warming up your lips

Say Ba, Ba, Ba..

#3 Warming up your tongue

Exaggerated La, La, La…

#4 Lastly The siren- Starts with a high ‘wee’ ends with a low ‘Aww’

There you have it. The secret of How to speak so that people listen to you!

Now, Imagine ! What would our world be like if our speech is heard consciously by everyone in

perfectly designed soundscapes..?

A WORLD WHERE UNDERSTANDING WOULD BE THE NORM…

Now, that’s an Idea worth Spreading.
