Why Your voice is a critical publicity tool
Professional success begins by perfecting your ability to use and control your voice.
You dress for success, diet to stay trim, exercise to stay slim and eat to stay healthy. But how do you sound?
In business and social situations the impression you make is determined largely by how you sound. Your voice leaves a far more lasting impression than your appearance.
According to recognized experts, billions of dollars are lost each year in missed opportunities and squandered sales all because of the ineffective way people speak.
The Internet, e-mail, voice mail, faxes and modems have all had their impact on communication. Technology that was beyond our comprehension just a few years ago now enables us to communicate easily and quickly anywhere in the world. But despite all of these incredible advances, nothing will ever take the place of the human voice. The spoken word has always been and always will be the most important means of interpersonal communication.
Whether you're speaking one on one, giving a presentation before a group, chairing a committee or selling on the telephone, how you use your voice is critical.
In her manual Building the Power of Your Voice: How to Improve Your Voice to Command Attention & Move People to Action, Dr. June Johnson provides valuable techniques and tips that allow professionals to understand and perfect their voices.
