The importance of developing vocal skills in speaking engagements
The podcast highlights the significance of treating speaking as a skill that requires intentional development. The host emphasizes the vocal toolbox and encourages individuals to pay attention to their voice and take steps to improve it. Specific recommendations include working with a vocal coach, practicing proper breathing techniques, improving posture, and focusing on prosody, which involves intonation and rhythm. It is lamented that speaking and listening are not typically taught in schools, despite their impact on various areas of life, such as communication, leadership, and building relationships.
In these ‘Moment’ episodes of my podcast, I’ll be selecting my favourite moments from previous episodes of The Diary Of A CEO. In this moment Julian Treasure opens up his vocal toolbox and talks about the importance of paying attention to your voice. While people focus on the content of their speeches and talks, their voice is just as important for every aspect of their life, considering that it is used to inspired, lead, communicate and build relationships. Julian believes that the voice should be treated as a skill rather than a natural capability, something that can be trained, improved and in turn have positive knock on effects for your happiness, health and wealth.
