Some people speak more effectively than others. Why is that they have a seemingly natural ability to get attention and respect when they speak? What is it that makes others listen and pay attention to their words? It isn’t necessarily a question of status , or the content of what they say . Such people often don’t speak “Oxford” English, express themselves using perfect grammatical constructions , or even use appropriate words. What they do have is resonance. Such people tend to have beautiful ,rich voices and to use the lower end of their voice range. Observe and listen to others .People who speak quickly and breathily in a high ---pitched voice do not appear as assertive as those who speak more slowly using deeper voice tones, for the lower pitch conveys control and confidence.
