The human voice: It's the instrument we all play.
2
It's the most powerful sound in the world, probably.
3
It's the only one that can start a war or say "I love you." And yet many people have the experience that when they speak, people don't listen to them.
4
And why is that?
5
How can we speak powerfully to make change in the world?
6
What I'd like to suggest, there are a number of habits that we need to move away from.
7
I've assembled for your pleasure here seven deadly sins of speaking.
8
I'm not pretending this is an exhaustive list, but these seven, I think, are pretty large habits that we can all fall into.
9
First, gossip.
10
Speaking ill of somebody who's not present.
11
Not a nice habit, and we know perfectly well the person gossiping, five minutes later, will be gossiping about us.
12
Second, judging.
13
We know people who are like this in conversation, and it's very hard to listen to somebody if you know that you're being judged and found wanting at the same time.
14
Third, negativity.
15
You can fall into this.
16
My mother, in the last years of her life, became very negative, and it's hard to listen.
17
I remember one day, I said to her, "It's October 1 today," and she said, "I know, isn't it dreadful?" (Laughter) It's hard to listen when somebody's that negative.
18
(Laughter) And another form of negativity, complaining.
19
Well, this is the national art of the U.K.
20
It's our national sport.
21
We complain about the weather, sport, about politics, about everything, but actually, complaining is viral misery.
22
It's not spreading sunshine and lightness in the world.
23
Excuses. We've all met this guy.
24
Maybe we've all been this guy.
25
Some people have a blamethrower.
26
They just pass it on to everybody else and don't take responsibility for their actions, and again, hard to listen to somebody who is being like that.
27
Penultimate, the sixth of the seven, embroidery, exaggeration.
28
It demeans our language, actually, sometimes.
29
For example, if I see something that really is awesome, what do I call it?
30
(Laughter) And then, of course, this exaggeration becomes lying, and we don't want to listen to people we know are lying to us.
31
And finally, dogmatism.
32
The confusion of facts with opinions.
33
When those two things get conflated, you're listening into the wind.
34
You know, somebody is bombarding you with their opinions as if they were true.
35
It's difficult to listen to that.
36
So here they are, seven deadly sins of speaking.
37
These are things I think we need to avoid.
38
But is there a positive way to think about this?
39
Yes, there is.
40
I'd like to suggest that there are four really powerful cornerstones, foundations, that we can stand on if we want our speech to be powerful and to make change in the world.
41
Fortunately, these things spell a word.
42
The word is "hail," and it has a great definition as well.
43
I'm not talking about the stuff that falls from the sky and hits you on the head.
44
I'm talking about this definition, to greet or acclaim enthusiastically, which is how I think our words will be received if we stand on these four things.
45
So what do they stand for?
46
See if you can guess.
47
The H, honesty, of course, being true in what you say, being straight and clear.
48
The A is authenticity, just being yourself.
49
A friend of mine described it as standing in your own truth, which I think is a lovely way to put it.
50
The I is integrity, being your word, actually doing what you say, and being somebody people can trust.
51
And the L is love.
52
I don't mean romantic love, but I do mean wishing people well, for two reasons.
53
First of all, I think absolute honesty may not be what we want.
54
I mean, my goodness, you look ugly this morning.
55
Perhaps that's not necessary.
56
Tempered with love, of course, honesty is a great thing.
57
But also, if you're really wishing somebody well, it's very hard to judge them at the same time.
58
I'm not even sure you can do those two things simultaneously.
59
So hail. Also, now that's what you say, and it's like the old song, it is what you say, it's also the way that you say it.
60
You have an amazing toolbox.
61
This instrument is incredible, and yet this is a toolbox that very few people have ever opened.
62
I'd like to have a little rummage in there with you now and just pull a few tools out that you might like to take away and play with, which will increase the power of your speaking.
63
Register, for example.
64
Now, falsetto register may not be very useful most of the time, but there's a register in between.
65
I'm not going to get very technical about this for any of you who are voice coaches.
66
You can locate your voice, however.
67
So if I talk up here in my nose, you can hear the difference.
68
If I go down here in my throat, which is where most of us speak from most of the time.
69
But if you want weight, you need to go down here to the chest.
70
You hear the difference?
71
We vote for politicians with lower voices, it's true, because we associate depth with power and with authority.
72
That's register.
73
Then we have timbre.
74
It's the way your voice feels.
75
Again, the research shows that we prefer voices which are rich, smooth, warm, like hot chocolate.
76
Well if that's not you, that's not the end of the world, because you can train.
77
Go and get a voice coach.
78
And there are amazing things you can do with breathing, with posture, and with exercises to improve the timbre of your voice.
79
Then prosody. I love prosody.
80
This is the sing-song, the meta-language that we use in order to impart meaning.
81
It's root one for meaning in conversation.
82
People who speak all on one note are really quite hard to listen to if they don't have any prosody at all.
83
That's where the word "monotonic" comes from, or monotonous, monotone.
84
Also, we have repetitive prosody now coming in, where every sentence ends as if it were a question when it's actually not a question, it's a statement?
85
(Laughter) And if you repeat that one, it's actually restricting your ability to communicate through prosody, which I think is a shame, so let's try and break that habit.
86
Pace. I can get very excited by saying something really quickly, or I can slow right down to emphasize, and at the end of that, of course, is our old friend silence.
87
There's nothing wrong with a bit of silence in a talk, is there?
88
We don't have to fill it with ums and ahs.
89
It can be very powerful.
90
Of course, pitch often goes along with pace to indicate arousal, but you can do it just with pitch.
91
Where did you leave my keys?
92
(Higher pitch) Where did you leave my keys?
93
So, slightly different meaning in those two deliveries.
94
And finally, volume.
95
(Loud) I can get really excited by using volume.
96
Sorry about that, if I startled anybody.
97
Or, I can have you really pay attention by getting very quiet.
98
Some people broadcast the whole time.
99
Try not to do that.
100
That's called sodcasting, (Laughter) Imposing your sound on people around you carelessly and inconsiderately.
101
Not nice. Of course, where this all comes into play most of all is when you've got something really important to do.
102
It might be standing on a stage like this and giving a talk to people.
103
It might be proposing marriage, asking for a raise, a wedding speech.
104
Whatever it is, if it's really important, you owe it to yourself to look at this toolbox and the engine that it's going to work on, and no engine works well without being warmed up.
105
Warm up your voice.
106
Actually, let me show you how to do that.
107
Would you all like to stand up for a moment?
108
I'm going to show you the six vocal warm-up exercises that I do before every talk I ever do.
109
Any time you're going to talk to anybody important, do these.
110
First, arms up, deep breath in, and sigh out, ahhhhh, like that.
111
One more time.
112
Ahhhh, very good.
113
Now we're going to warm up our lips, and we're going to go Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba. Very good.
114
And now, brrrrrrrrrr, just like when you were a kid.
115
Brrrr. Now your lips should be coming alive.
116
We're going to do the tongue next with exaggerated la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
117
Beautiful. You're getting really good at this.
118
And then, roll an R. Rrrrrrr.
119
That's like champagne for the tongue.
120
Finally, and if I can only do one, the pros call this the siren.
121
It's really good. It starts with "we" and goes to "aw." The "we" is high, the "aw" is low.
122
So you go, weeeaawww, weeeaawww.
123
Fantastic. Give yourselves a round of applause.
124
Take a seat, thank you.
125
(Applause) Next time you speak, do those in advance.
126
Now let me just put this in context to close.
127
This is a serious point here.
128
This is where we are now, right?
129
We speak not very well to people who simply aren't listening in an environment that's all about noise and bad acoustics.
130
I have talked about that on this stage in different phases.
131
What would the world be like if we were speaking powerfully to people who were listening consciously in environments which were actually fit for purpose?
132
Or to make that a bit larger, what would the world be like if we were creating sound consciously and consuming sound consciously and designing all our environments consciously for sound?
133
That would be a world that does sound beautiful, and one where understanding would be the norm, and that is an idea worth spreading.
134
Thank you. (Applause)

Этот метод эффективен в сочетании с использованием ресурсов, связанных с темой shadow speech, и может существенно улучшить ваш английский. Используйте shadowspeaks для поиска нужных видео для практики, чтобы учить английский с YouTube стало не только полезным, но и увлекательным занятием.
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
