THE POWER

OF

VOICE

Julian Treasure

That You Kept Talking…

Has It Ever Occurred…

But the other person just

wouldn’t listen?

The Human Voice is a POWERFUL

instrument

After all, It is the only voice that can start a WAR

Or the one that can say “I Love You!”

Then How Can We Talk Powerfully and

Make People Listen?

The VOICE is an amazing TOOLBOX

REGISTER

Humans associate depth with Power

Where do you speak from… Nose, Throat or Chest?

TIMBRE

It’s the way your voice feels

We prefer voices that are Rich, Smooth and Warm

PROSODY

It’s the tone, the sing-song of your conversation

Don’t be monotonic

PACE & PITCH

You can talk fast in a high pitch to express excitement

Or you can slow down to emphasise

VOLUME

You can lower your volume to have the audience pay attention

Avoid imposing your loud voice on the

audience
