And girls play into that whereas fellows will never do that. Many people underestimate the power of our voices. The sound can either draw people toward us or push them away.
Voices are strong, often unconscious, motivating factors.
In the way we can exercise and change our diet to improve our bodies, through vocal exercises we can change the sound of our voices. Communications coach Carol Fleming, Ph.D. says the best way to hear what you really sound like is to videotape yourself having a normal conversation with a friend and watch that. Audio cassette tapes change the speed and therefore the sound of your voice and will not give you a true reproduction. Fleming says many women tend to talk in their head voice, which is a lighter, higher pitch voice. This causes women to sound more like they are young girls and are likely not to be taken as seriously by others in the business world.
