Ever wonder what makes us buy from a certain salesperson or prefer one TV news announcer over another? In each case, a human voice is subtly captivating our ear and commanding our attention.
Like a Dress for Success for the speaking voice, this unique self-help book shows how to use “voice strategy” to succeed.
“Ever wonder what makes us buy from a certain salesperson or prefer one TV news announcer over another? In each case, a human voice is subtly captivating our ear and commanding our attention.
Now celebrity voice coach Renee Grant-Williams reveals the trade secrets behind those persuasive voices and shows readers how to apply positive vocal techniques to business and personal situations. Much more than a guide to proper breathing or voice projection, this is a life-altering “”owner’s manual”” to unleashing and directing the powers of communication within one’s speaking voice. By exploring the rich connections between singing and speaking, Grant-Williams helps readers:
* Evaluate their “”VoicePower”” quotients
* Literally breathe new life into their voices
* Tap the amazing power of consonants–and silence
* Deliver sales pitches virtually guaranteed to sell
* Turn a voice mail message (incoming or outgoing) into a personal calling card
* Become more confident, persuasive presenters and public speakers.”
About the Author
Renee Grant-Williams (Nashville, TN) is a well-known voice coach whose clients include U.S. senators, attorneys, salespeople, and vocalists such as Faith Hill and Randy Travis.

I have been reading this book: Relational Presentation by Robert A. Lane and Chantal Bosse
What a bad move that was!
Because this is a book to do, not a book to read.
If you want to move beyond bullet points, then this is where you can start. This is the “how-to”. The tone of the book is constantly encouraging and it will give you the practical details at the level you need, whether you are a beginner, or already a user. I enjoyed the detail on creating effects – the information is there for you to use powerpoint to create stunning rich media effects.
