  all right, so I want to talk a little bit

• 00:04 - 00:05

  about voice.

• 00:08 - 00:10

  One of the things to think about is the rate

• 00:10 - 00:11

  in which you are speaking.

• 00:11 - 00:14

  So sometimes people like to speak really fast and sometimes

• 00:15 - 00:16

  speak will speak really slowly.

• 00:17 - 00:20

  So imagine if you're giving a speech or talking to

• 00:20 - 00:21

  somebody, and all of a sudden they start talking really

• 00:21 - 00:23

  fast and they're going on and on about their day.

• 00:24 - 00:26

  Then they start talking so fast that you can't really

• 00:26 - 00:28

  understand what they're saying, and you're like, Whoa, can you

• 00:28 - 00:29

  just slow down?

• 00:30 - 00:32

  So that can happen a lot with people that you

• 00:33 - 00:35

  have a lot of information to share, your really excited

• 00:35 - 00:39

  or you're really nervous and somewhat unconsciously, you start speaking

• 00:40 - 00:44

  really fast or you might start speaking really slowly.

• 00:45 - 00:50

  So sometimes we speak really slowly because we're either not

• 00:51 - 00:54

  interested in what we're saying where we're trying to come

• 00:54 - 00:56

  up with what to say next.

• 00:57 - 01:00

  So this could be really confusing for people and really

• 01:01 - 01:01

  make you sound just interested.

• 01:02 - 01:04

  And so you want to keep your read a little

• 01:04 - 01:07

  bit more consistent and also be able to read what

• 01:08 - 01:10

  other people's rate is too may be telling you about

• 01:10 - 01:12

  how they're feeling in that moment.

• 01:15 - 01:17

  The next thing I want to go over his tempo.

• 01:18 - 01:32

  So let's just all right.

• 01:32 - 01:36

  But seriously, the tempo in which you speak can make

• 01:36 - 01:36

  a huge difference.

• 01:37 - 01:41

  So just think about how much you're making different pauses

• 01:41 - 01:42

  or emphasizing different points.

• 01:43 - 01:49

  Whatever points to emphasize when you, um, put extra, um,

• 01:50 - 01:55

  kind of buildup to you that word, or maybe say

• 01:55 - 01:58

  that word louder, get pauses before and after that it's

• 01:58 - 01:59

  gonna make that word sound really important.

• 02:00 - 02:03

  Also, if you have some posits, sometimes it's really good

• 02:04 - 02:06

  so that you're building up to something, and all of

• 02:06 - 02:09

  a sudden everybody's hanging on and you're going to say

• 02:11 - 02:12

  the word that they're looking for.

• 02:13 - 02:19

  Or sometimes you're pausing and it kind of makes you

• 02:19 - 02:21

  seem like you don't know what you're talking about.

• 02:22 - 02:23

  And so you just want to be aware of this

• 02:24 - 02:26

  when you're sharing information or having a conversation with another

• 02:27 - 02:31

  person. Another thing you want to be aware of its

• 02:32 - 02:36

  volume. So it's really common that when we're angry or

• 02:36 - 02:39

  when we're really excited to speak really loudly and not

• 02:39 - 02:42

  even notice that we're talking to somebody, um, with that

• 02:43 - 02:47

  volume. But if you've ever heard it and you've been

• 02:47 - 02:49

  outside school or on the street and almost on in

• 02:49 - 02:51

  somebody's with a bullhorn and they're just shouting their information

• 02:52 - 02:54

  and always sunny, you're not really finding it that persuasive.

• 02:55 - 02:58

  And so you might want to think about what volume

• 02:58 - 03:01

  is actually going to persuade people or get people to

• 03:01 - 03:04

  actually listen to you, and this could be culturally minded.

• 03:05 - 03:11

  So ah, lot of the normal voice that, um, Americans

• 03:12 - 03:15

  speak at and the volume can seem really loud to

• 03:15 - 03:17

  people if you go to another country that, like, wow,

• 03:17 - 03:19

  Americans speak with a really loud volume.

• 03:20 - 03:21

  And so this might be something to just be aware

• 03:22 - 03:27

  of because even what we find normal as Americans might

• 03:28 - 03:30

  be very different in other cultures.

• 03:31 - 03:34

  Also, if you're speaking really quietly, people might think that

• 03:34 - 03:36

  you don't really know what you're talking about or you

• 03:36 - 03:40

  really shy and so just thinking about what volume is

• 03:40 - 03:43

  actually going to you persuade people there could be things

• 03:43 - 03:46

  like intimate moments where you wouldn't necessarily want to speak

• 03:46 - 03:47

  at the same volume.

• 03:48 - 03:50

  But when you're actually trying to communicate to a large

• 03:51 - 03:52

  number of people, you want to make sure that they

• 03:52 - 03:55

  hear you and that you're not shouting at them.

• 03:56 - 03:59

  Prezi. All right, so the next one to go over

• 03:59 - 04:00

  it is the pitch.

• 04:00 - 04:03

  So we know that there's a higher lower Pidge, and

• 04:03 - 04:04

  there's also being monotone.

• 04:05 - 04:07

  And so you just want to be aware of this

• 04:07 - 04:10

  in talking to people in any setting.

• 04:11 - 04:14

  So just think about it that sometimes lower pitched voices

• 04:14 - 04:17

  are seen as more credible, and this comes with a

• 04:17 - 04:20

  lot of biases that men have lower pitched voices.

• 04:20 - 04:25

  And so men having the hierarchy in our society also

• 04:25 - 04:28

  means that lower pitched voices have a higher pitch higher

• 04:29 - 04:30

  Archy and our society.

• 04:31 - 04:34

  So just thinking about this, fair or not, this is

• 04:34 - 04:36

  something for us to be aware of.

• 04:36 - 04:39

  Also, just think about if you're speaking in a monotone

• 04:39 - 04:42

  voice, this can also come into you play with pitch.

• 04:42 - 04:45

  So if you start to go like this and you're

• 04:45 - 04:48

  speaking like this for a really long time, depending on

• 04:48 - 04:51

  how long it goes, people are going to tone out

• 04:52 - 04:55

  if you're not changing your voice at all, and you're

• 04:55 - 04:58

  kind of making all your sentences, the same blink and

• 04:58 - 05:01

  the same pitch that could get really boring really fast.

• 05:02 - 05:05

  So just change it up a little bit, all right?

• 05:05 - 05:09

  And another one is the tone in which you say

• 05:10 - 05:12

  things So you could say the same sentence and it

• 05:12 - 05:13

  can sound really sweet.

• 05:13 - 05:14

  Or it could sound really angry.

• 05:15 - 05:17

  Concern really surprised all based on her tone.

• 05:18 - 05:20

  So imagine them doing What did you say?

• 05:22 - 05:23

  What did you say?

• 05:25 - 05:26

  What did you say?

• 05:27 - 05:28

  What did you say?

• 05:29 - 05:32

  All of those things can convey very different things.

• 05:32 - 05:35

  So just think about your Tim, all right?

• 05:36 - 05:37

  And another one is accent.

• 05:38 - 05:41

  So as you can see, if you watch Tiger King

• 05:41 - 05:43

  that you can think about the different accents and how

• 05:44 - 05:49

  we have different by issues with regional national accents on

• 05:49 - 05:53

  that coming to play with hierarchy is that have been

• 05:53 - 05:53

  passed down.

• 05:54 - 05:55

  And there's something for you to be aware of because

• 05:56 - 05:59

  whether or not you notice it, you may have a

• 05:59 - 06:02

  certain bias towards different accents weather than others.

• 06:03 - 06:06

  So you may find certain accent sexy or certain accents

• 06:08 - 06:09

  makes people sound educated.

• 06:10 - 06:12

  All of those things are just cultural biases that we've

• 06:13 - 06:13

  picked up over the years.

• 06:14 - 06:15

  And I want us to be aware of those because

• 06:16 - 06:19

  that's not always fair for people that you're coming in

• 06:19 - 06:22

  with the biases about their accent, about what it means

• 06:22 - 06:22

  about them.

• 06:23 - 06:26

  All right, so those are just a few things to

• 06:27 - 06:27

  know about voice.

• 06:28 - 06:30

  And I hope you learned something listening to this video.
