Don't Make This Huge Vocal Mistake

Most speakers make a huge mistake: they use their normal speaking voice when doing public speaking!

You should never, ever speak using your normal voice because you will run the risk of losing at least 67% of your listeners, and here's the reason why: research studies have proven that people listen at three different speeds:

Some people are "faster listeners" and they'll want you to speak fast.

Some people are "slower listeners" - and you guessed it - they'll want you to speak more slowly.

The slower listeners need time to process your words and digest what you've said.

If you speak too fast, you'll lose them and they'll hate you and they might not even know why.

The faster listeners have pictures zooming through their mind at a million miles an hour and you have to speak fast to keep up with those pictures.

Now, some people are more "medium" speed listeners, and they'll prefer a moderate speed with a lot of ups and downs in your tone with a singsong quality.

Chances are that your conversational speed is either slow, medium or fast and so if you only speak in your normal voice, you'll lose two-thirds of the rest of the group!

So be sure to cycle through your speech speaking at different speeds.

You're going to have to practice this a little bit, but it's very easy to do and you can get good at this very quickly and it'll be second nature for you.

You'll probably find that either slow or fast is hard for you so you'll have to put a little extra effort into speaking at that speed.

You'll "wow the crowd" by speaking at three different speeds because studies have been done rating the charisma of speakers, and the results proved that the speakers rated with the most charisma were the ones that spoke at three different speeds!

Summary: Speaking at 3 different speeds creates tension, drama, and resolution and add a tremendous dynamic to your talk.
