Effective Communication and Strong Speaking Voice

• Mahmoud Hassan is the speaker. Ali Alshalali is the interlocutor in the conversation, which is audio.
• Hassan reflects on the power of his voice, considering it the strongest in the world and the only one capable of starting a war or declaring love.
• Despite this, people may not listen to him when he speaks, leading him to question how to speak with power and change the world.
• He proposes seven common speaking mistakes, including speaking sleepily about someone absent, judging people, lying, lying during important moments, and being inconsistent with facts and perspectives.
• He suggests four foundational principles for effective speech: clarity, sincerity, respect, and positivity.
• Clarity represents truthful and clear communication. Sincerity means being genuine and authentic.
• Respect signifies acknowledging the truth in the other person and maintaining non-violence.
• Positivity refers to expressing well-wishes for others.
• Hassan emphasizes the importance of speaking truthfully and with respect to avoid causing harm or confusion for the listener.
• He encourages developing a strong speaking voice by training and practicing techniques, such as identifying the appropriate speaking volume for different audiences and scenarios.
• The use of metaphors and the ability to convey meaning through the tone of voice (inflection) can enhance the impact of speech.
• Effective communication requires both parties to listen attentively and respond constructively, creating a productive dialogue.
• Developing a strong speaking voice and effective communication skills can help individuals convey their ideas and persuade others, potentially changing the world.- The term "rhythm" originates from music, meaning notes or melody, as well as repetition of consonants like ending every sentence with a "t" sound.
• Repeating the "t" sound too often can limit your use of the "t" sound during speech and make it an awkward habit. It can also make you feel self-conscious and hesitant when speaking, causing you to stutter.
• High-pitched sounds can be unpleasant and distracting to those around you when you're trying to apply these tools, such as when presenting information or proposing to someone, or even important conversations.
• To suppress your voice during speech, try practicing the exercises I have provided before speaking to anyone important. Examples include raising your arms above your head, humming a long note, making a "hehehe" sound, and repeating "pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa" and "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" quietly.
• The eyelids and tongue with relaxed jaw can help you speak more clearly. Say "no, no, no, no, no, no." with confidence. This technique is called "onset cues" and it helps prepare the voice for speech.
• Some experts refer to this technique as "placement" and it starts with a "w" sound and ends with an "o" sound. Make the "w" sound and the "o" sound. This technique is effective and can improve your speech clarity significantly.
• The next time you're about to speak in a noisy or inappropriate environment, consider rehearsing the techniques I've discussed beforehand. How would the world be if we all spoke clearly and attentively to each other in appropriate settings? How would the world be if we projected and listened to each other's voices effectively and designed our surroundings to facilitate communication? That world would be a world of beautiful sounds and effective communication.
