Most Replayed Moment: Captivate A Room Even If You’re Shy! - Vinh Giang

I was looking earlier. There's almost, like, a billion search results on Google for people trying to figure out, or trying to provide answers to how to communicate successfully. So let's get into it. So I Yeah. You use this term vocal image. Yeah. What does vocal image mean? It came about when I realized I spend and I think most of us spend a lot of time on our visual image. Right? How how we look, our body language, the way we dress. Mhmm. But very rarely do people spend time on their vocal image. Now I'll make it make sense. When people see you and you reveal your visual image, they make assumptions about you pretty quickly. So they form assumptions, oh, this person seems friendly. Maybe they're confident because they got good posture. Maybe they're smiling, they're friendly. And then all of a sudden, when you open your mouth and you speak, they now turn these assumptions into beliefs. And so what may be assumptions before? Now they go, oh, you are friendly. You are confident. Right? Or they might think, oh, no. Bit of a wanker. Right? And and and you've had these experiences before. I've had them before where you assume you see someone. You're, oh, this person's really good. Go meet them. You're, ah, not really nice. That's weird. So it's another layer that we don't think about, though, because we, again, think we're stuck with our voice. We think we're stuck with the way we communicate. We think there's no way for me to ever change this. So let's let's talk about how one can improve their vocal image so that they're effective across context. Sure. You mentioned melody, volume, hand gestures. If we start with melody, what the hell is melody? The different notes you can hit with your voice? Okay. So is that variety? Yeah. Variety. Yeah. Pitch variety. Pitch and melody. Okay. Well, because there's a melody that lives underneath your voice. Alright. Let's do an experiment. I'm gonna play you a a piano song. Mhmm. And I want you to listen to this, and then you're at home right now. I want you to listen to to the track and see what words come to mind. So we'll just play we'll play the song. Okay. Yeah. Alright. Sadness. Right. So so and then if if listeners at home could could could have a voice here too, that's maybe say they'll say somber. Mhmm. Nostalgic. Yeah. Right? All these words would come up. And and then, again, if we sat with this for a while, we'd get plenty of words. Let's try another one. Right? So let's change the mood. Let's shift to something like, this. Inspirational, motivational. Good. See, all of a sudden now and and I'm thinking running towards something. Yeah. Right? And and again, there's a part of me that thinks, oh, cheesy commercial. Right? There's that there's that part of it too. So you can hear …
