Speak to Influence: How to Unlock the Hidden Power of Your Voice

Speak to Influence: How to Unlock the Hidden Power of Your Voice
I bought this book based on the other reviews. I found it very easy to read and the tips and exercises easy to follow and use. I have felt a marked improvement in my vocal range and in my ability to vary pitch, rhythm and tempo.
I would have liked a little more content on how to use inflection to increase the impact of what is being said, particularly as there is some indication in the early text of how the author uses mark ups on scripts to add impact.
However, overall a good book.

I thought I knew how to speak -- doesn't everyone? But Susan Berkeley really showed me how to use my voice more powerfully. She has great practical tips (like standing and focusing on one spot when making an important phone call) that really do work! I loved this book and have recommended it to others. Whether you want to come across as more intelligent or pursasive, this a terrific guide. And Susan is a great teacher too.

This book rocked my world in terms of how to use my voice to persuade people to my way of thinking. I never realized my voice---and just my voice---could seduce or sedate people. I'm not talking about the words you use so much as the voice you use to express those words. In other words, how do you SOUND? And if you are feeling like crap, what can you do to make yourself sound like you are up? This author covers it all, including how to overcome stage fright. I urge anyone who speaks more than 5 minutes a day, to anyone at all, whetehr on the phone or in person, to grab this book. At only $15 a copy, it will probably save your butt and help you win friends and influence people with your voice alone.
