7 Deadly sins of

SPEAKING

Not

interested

#2 Judging

Did you just

call me

stupid?

Yes you

are stupid

#3 Negativity

the point

of working

in this job

anyway?

#4 Complaining What is the

point of this

machine if I

still do all

the work?

#5 Excuses

now.

MISTAKES?

H.A.I.L

Honesty + Love is what brings out a good impression

horrible

Register

Register Locate your voice. For weight voice should

come from chest

Timbre People tend to prefer smooth voices. Like

chocolate.

Prosody Monotonous tone= boring. Ending every

statement in a question mark is not good(

Repetitive Prosody).

Pace Use your pace wisely and Silence is a good

weapon while speaking.

Pitch Variations in pitch can change the meaning.

Volume You don’t have to yell into people’s ears.

Speaking low grabs audience attention.

Always warm

up your voice

before you give

an important

talk.

Imagine a world

where

We create sound consciously

Consume sound consciously

And build environments

consciously for sound

That would

be a

beautiful

world to listen to

Always warm up your voice before an important talk.
