    He also changed the pace at which he spoke. Which i believe helped to stabilize the conviction in his voice as he sounds more relaxed. Speaking faster adds a bit of a nervous tone to his voice.

      Here’s a list of many other changes he made to his speech presentation that he didn’t tell us about (these changes tamper with the validity of the pitch experiment):
      He changed how direct his hand gestures were in the lower version.
      He annunciated certain words more in the lower speaking to draw attention to his main points.
      He also changed how confident he was in terms of eye contact in the lower version.
      He didn’t include the usage of “uh” in the lower pitch speaking but did include it in his higher pitch speaking.
      “Uh” makes people appear more unsure of what they’re trying to convey.
      He smiled less in the lower version to showcase his levels of determination, professionally and how serious he is about the goal he is setting.

      Depends, as an American there's a power called "overtalk" you can say too much yes, but that's not what I mean. If you speak fast and enunciate clearly, you can steamroll anyone who tries to interrupt you. You absolutely have to know exactly what you are talking about, and have the hardest hitting facts, or else it does not work.

      I guess high gives a more approachable, less dominating appearance, while low gives a more dominating and less approachable.
      Think about anime and cartoons, the serious characters that take charge usually have a deeper voice or when a goofy character gets serious, their voice drops. While when they want to portray a more lighthearted, bubbly character, or a character acting silly they go for high pitched.

      @Cal.18 Рік тому +3

      You can easily finish off a sentence if you’re ending your sentences off with a high pitch. It’s got a lot more to do with how you structure your sentences than how you sound pronouncing them. The way you annunciate words only really has an impact on your initial conversation/pitch with someone. Beyond that a well formed sentence will get you a lot further than ending a sentence on a lower pitch to sound more dominant and confident.

      I’m a tall and big straight male fighter and I do this. Just to offer some contrast here. I also choose to talk in my higher octave vocal range, not too high but very different to the guys who try to sound tough and talk deep. The higher octave out of the 2 that I can easily access is more welcoming and friendly. If you hear a super deep voice from a male it genuinely is somewhat forced, after some time it stops becoming forced but at some point they chose to exercise that lower octave once they got access to it from puberty, it could be from being self conscious or just wanting to seem intimidating or I guess to sound more manly, I was never worried about that. I can voice act and go very deep if I want to so the capability is there but our voices manifest themselves and provide some insight to our true personality. I’m not going to change it for anybody. Of course if I’m disrespected it goes out the window, (ending sentences upward) but I won’t change being welcoming loving and nice to people through actions and my voice unless it’s in a business setting and I need the sale.

People get silly around me, but the best part is how more often than not, people are so nice/ helpful to me!

    Here’s a list of many other changes he made to his speech presentation that he didn’t tell us about (these changes tamper with the validity of the pitch experiment):
    He changed how direct his hand gestures were in the lower version.
    He annunciated certain words more in the lower speaking to draw attention to his main points.
    He also changed how confident he was in terms of eye contact in the lower version.
    He didn’t include the usage of “uh” in the lower pitch speaking but did include it in his higher pitch speaking.
    “Uh” makes people appear more unsure of what they’re trying to convey.
    He smiled less in the lower version to showcase his levels of determination, professionally and how serious he is about the goal he is setting.

    Remember that just like other countries, there are many areas that have their unique accents. So not every American ends their sentences on a downward slope.
    Also, when you spoke, it wasn’t just the ending that changed. You spoke the entire first sentence with a higher voice than the second sentence with a low voice. Most words you spoke began medium and ended high in the first example. In the second, you spoke most words from medium to low. Go back and listen.
