Vocal Branding: How Your Voice Shapes Your Communication Image | Wendy LeBorgne | TEDxUCincinnati

[@cephoras]

Since I became a voice-over artist, I've noticed that my personality has changed for the better and business associates take me more seriously. When you work with your voice it really does affect how people respond to you.

[@katiearbuckle9017]

Oh weird I done Voice over as well in the past and I am now currently going to be doing Audiobooks. So I am going to be working on my voice some more. But at my current state I been told I have a very soothing, very common voice for my age group. At some point someone also said I sounded like a "Podcast"

[@azizjafari1930]

You use the app called voice recorder

[@alexiswatson-lowe9833]

I've been told that: 1. I speak too quietly 2. I decrescendo my speech (Up at the beginning of my sentences rather than the end) 3. I speak too fast 4. I have a high squirrel like voice Combined during group speech projects this leads to a perception that; I am uncertain of myself, but knowledgeable about whatever I am speaking on (regardless of whether I actually know anything about the topic), that I am nervous about presenting information, and that I may be upselling or exaggerating whatever base facts are from the topic assigned speech. This is from teachers of a variety of subjects; math, business, public speaking, English, science, etc. that have all stated similar phrases about my vocal brand. I am so happy to see a TedTalk about the topic that puts this in perspective, that all of these factors really matter. When I manage to speak a bit louder (in a typical indoor voice), when I add more inflection to my sentences/vary their inflections more, take a deep breath and speak slightly slower than normal, my higher voice can be ignored a bit easier and the focus can be more on the what and not the how. This is a super important topic, especially for autistic folk like myself. I wish this was taught to people from a much earlier age.

[@Trapizzium]

Key Points: 1. Intensity - volume of voice - not too low, not too high 2.Inflection - wavyness of the voice - don't be monotone 3.Rate - Number of words per minute - between 168 to 200 WPM is best 4. Frequency - Pitch of voice - High pitch makes man timid 5.Quality - Clarity and pinch of magic to voice - what differentiates you from others

Very informative talk. As a executive speech communications coach I encourage my clients to eliminate uptalk. The voice is powerful. When I hear irritating voices on TV, I change the channel. It's actually draining to listen to someone who has too much nasality, speaks too fast, or uses a lot of uptalk. I especially counsel women leaders to speak with the voice of authority if they want to be taken seriously.

2:20 As a voice pathologist for the last 20 years, my job has been to look at what elements go into the most elite voices, what gets them hired in the professional arena and how do we maximize those elements. It goes far beyond the words we say. Right? So there's that old adage it's not just what you say but how you say it and there's lots of coaches that talk about intonation and things like that. But the reality is it's the combination of certain elements that go into creating your voice brand. 3:40 Let's take a look at these five elements. The first thing is the intensity of voice. There's a comfort level for intensity. If I take a simple sentence: 'I need you to get this done today' and the only element that I change is intensity: 'I need you to get this done today' all of a sudden you all take a little step back because I'm all of a sudden perceived as being aggressive, assertive, or potentially if I was at a sporting event enthusiastic. If we take that same sentence and all I do is change intensity 'I need you to get this done today,' I'm potentially being perceived as shy or uncertain of what I'm talking about.

THANK YOU for this wonderful talk! I had actually just just watched another Ted Talk given by a man who was born with some noticable facial deformities. When he first hit the stage the only ones who may have been a little uncomfortable were out in the audience. Until he spoke. This man radiated self-confidence and he immediatly won us all over simply by using a great tonal sound and proper inflections combinded with a a natural deep rich voice that would have allowed me to listen to him go on for hours. It also seemed that he became even more confident and powerful as he went on which made him even more engaging and attractive!!!

The people who are commenting with critiques about her own voice issues are completely missing the point. She is using various techniques throughout her entire talk to demonstrate. Just like her opening gambit being mild vocal fry, after which she then circles back almost at the end and refers to it.

[@Albanianator]

You're right, they are missing the point. The reasoning why they are missing the point is because of her changing her techniques. The people that understand what she's doing also are missing the point. It is hard to re-wire or re-train the brain from just a 12 minute video, as we have 200k years of brain development as a species and as individuals (the age of the audience) have 10+ years of brain development/wiring. Please try to understand what I'm writing, as I might not be wording it to properly portray my point. Going back to my point, if you were to re-watch the video again you (and not just you, everyone) would see the other points Dr. Wendy was making. That's the beauty of this.

[@ernaherlina8014]

I truly understand the points and understand the various techniques she's demonstrating to point out her points. But I believe the problem people have is when she's not demonstrating the techniques, just her normal 'public speaking voice', she's contradicting her own teaching (she doesn't practice them). I have watched other TED-talks on the same issue where the speakers demonstrated various techniques, but they really practice what they teach in their public speaking voice.

Unfortunately, manners do not exist on the internet. People have the freedom to say whatever they want, whenever they want without thought.

Next imagine someone saying all of those hurtful comments to you all throughout each day you live. Could you emotionally handle all of those comments being said to you on a constant basis? Really think about. Or is it likely that you could find a tactful way of being honest? Or, could you possibly just stf up if you are not capable of using your words to build others up instead of tearing them down? Could you imagine saying these comments to your mother? Or do you think you would hurt her? What if you looked in the mirror every day and spoke to yourself the way you speak to others? Would that make you feel good? Or would it start to make you feel not so good about yourself?

The second element that goes into voice brand is inflection or intonation. In music we very rarely hear a piece that is on one note all the way through from the beginning or the end. That'd be pretty boring, right? So the international patterns of speech are what make it interesting in the two extremes we have a highly sing-songy rate where it sounds like you're talking to a two-year-old all the time and you're perceived as being unintelligent in what you're saying or we have the complete opposite where someone totally doesn't change your tempo or their inflection at all: “I need you to get this done today”. They're bored they're uninterested in what they're saying and they're not connected to it 4 69s The third element that goes into your brand is rate, that is how fast or how slow you talk. So if we have a super fast talker “ I needed you to get this done today”. All of a sudden you feel super rushed. You're slightly agitated in what they're having to say right. Similarly if we slow down that rate of speech I need you to get this done today”, I'm perceived as condescending because I'm talking down to you because I'm talking so slowly. Just like in music it's the give and take of the pace of what we do that makes it interesting. The fourth element is frequency. Frequency is measured in hertz and we know that there are normative data for men women and children here in the United States and abroad of what the average fundamental frequency should be for us to like their voice. So frequency becomes important.

@@玉子焼きちゃん Well said, and I'm sure the Doctor also knows this, but she still got up there and did it. :) She knows she would be judged, we all judge, it's in our nature. Even when you are not intentionally judging someone or saying anything negative, if the people on the receiving end are in a negative mind set they will only focus on the negative parts of what you're saying (or how her voice sounds, even though she's intentionally changing it, she can't change some things). It's hard to teach people to be impartial, keep an open mind and have no emotions while learning (or trying to learn).

coffee is a highly dehydrating drink! that being said, you don't need to cut it out, but make sure you're aiming for a higher volume of water than coffee per day. other things come into play for hoarseness/raspiness, such as reflux, daily voice use, certain meds, etc

Kate, it is a learned skill not a gift. You can do it with practice and determination. If you tell yourself you "can NOT stand-up and talk - then you cannot. Let that go!!!! You may have had a bad experience once and have said that to yourself for 10 years. That happens all the time. Your past does not matter. I bet you have no problem telling your friends a funny story that happened to you. If you can tell it to a few you can tell it too many. Be kind to yourself. Use your phone to video tape yourself - listen to your voice, vocal variety, watch your facial expressions, how do you stand, move with a purpose. Review yourself often and you will get better and better. Get a mentor to help coach you. I believe a big part is getting your body ready before you speak....the way you breathe, stand, move is essential. Do 10 jumping jacks! Get you body into a state of certainty FIRST just like any performer or athlete.
