3 Speaking Tips: Difference Between Tone, Pitch, and Inflection with David Binder

In this special episode, my brother explains the difference between tone, pitch, and inflection to help you improve your voice. In 2017, Yale did a study that confirmed that your voice can change your life. They found that what makes you believe someone, like someone, and trust someone is the sound of their voice.

Last episode we talked about the 7-38-55 rule (listen here): only 7% of all communication is done through verbal communication (the words), whereas the nonverbal component, such as tonality of our voice and body language, comprise 38% and 55% respectively.

Three tips to improve your voice:

1. Speak on the exhale, not the inhale
2. Find your maximum resonance point (Vanessa Van Edwards video here)
3. Speak at a moderately fast pace (195 words per minute) - slow talkers are perceived as less intelligent and credible (around 100 WPM)
