Ever
wonder what makes us buy from a certain salesperson or
prefer one TV news announcer over another? In each case, a
human voice is subtly captivating our ear and commanding our
attention.
Like a Dress for
Success for the speaking voice, this unique self-help book
shows how to use "voice strategy" to succeed.
"Ever wonder what makes us buy from a certain
salesperson or prefer one TV news announcer over another? In
each case, a human voice is subtly captivating our ear and
commanding our attention.
Now celebrity voice coach Renee
Grant-Williams reveals the trade secrets behind those
persuasive voices and shows readers how to apply positive
vocal techniques to business and personal situations. Much
more than a guide to proper breathing or voice projection,
this is a life-altering ""owner's manual"" to unleashing and
directing the powers of communication within one's speaking
voice. By exploring the rich connections between singing and
speaking, Grant-Williams helps readers:
* Evaluate their ""VoicePower"" quotients
* Literally breathe new life into their
voices
* Tap the amazing power of consonants--and
silence
* Deliver sales pitches virtually guaranteed
to sell
* Turn a voice mail message (incoming or
outgoing) into a personal calling card
* Become more confident, persuasive
presenters and public speakers."
