Talk Smart
This talk will introduce the audience to the importance of tone of voice and the affects this has on the listeners. It will discuss aspects of neurodiversity, and how unconscious influences have subtle ways of making us speak differently to different groups. We will explore how the tone of voice is key to building good working relationships with your clients. The importance of correct tone and how this affects the brain chemistry of the listeners will be investigated. Also, how neuroscience has played a crucial role in the understanding of the two most important brain hormones, Cortisol and Oxytocin and how these two chemicals affect the learning potential of audiences and clients.
Dr Hendy will explore the mechanics of the voice and how sound is made. There will be a section on how to improve your voice through the understanding of vocal anatomy and the use of voice exercises, in order to build an effective voice. There will be an introduction to the different tone colours used in speech and the ways these can be employed. The talk will finish with a review of the skills of vocal delivery that are needed to make the voice expressive, spontaneous and full of vitality.
