I try to imagine what some of you sound like, and would love to actually hear alot of you guys talk in convo some day... I hate phone convo... I dunno... I've only lit up as of late due to new sparked interest, but for the most part is seems rehearsed and flat and I hate that...
Anyway I just finished an article review voice tonality and patients suing doctors, apparently mal practice suits just do not happen when the patient like the doctor, it appears to happen basically when the patient feels or gets the impression that the doctor could care less about them as person.
The studies revealed common sense things like amount of time, questions asked, and appropriate facial expressions determined whether or not doctor got sued. However, another study revealed that it was the Voice Quality that predicted whether Dr. got sued as well. The research filtered the voices so that only intonation, pitch, and rhythm were heard... you could not understand the words or content. The ten second clips were evaluated for warmth, hostility, dominance, and anxiousness.. and she found that by using only those rating, she could predict who would be sued and who wouldn't.
Point is quality of voice determines so much as attraction, persuasion, empathy, and being able to pacify others...
Can you describe your voice, does it win others over, are you a fast talker, loud talker, soft talker... what do you sound like?
Does your voice really reveal your emotions? Are you more stoic?
