Topic
Oral communication, such as staff meetings, conferences, briefings, presentations, is important to your success in business. Research shows that “55% of your impression is the result of how you look, 38% is the result of how you sound, and just 7% is the result of what you say” (Hynes, 2011, p. 342). This week, we are going to practice oral communication skills and focus on “how you sound” in this exercise to avoid using monotone voices in communication.
The irony is we are going to practice verbal communication with the topic of non-verbal communication. After reading this week’s textbook chapters, please share with the class which aspect of nonverbal communication you should pay more attention in the future to improve your communication skills.
Please reply to this topic with a one-minute recording. That is the length the systems allows, so plan your text and recording accordingly. Pay attention to your voice quality including your tone, pitch, volume, and speed. If you feel it is needed, re-record your speech. Do this a few times and you will notice the improvements in your voice quality. You must also post the speech text that you used in your recording.
