Voice modulation and Body modulation

The way you talk to others matters a lot in building a rapport with them. To look civilized and to also generate interest in other people, it is required for a person to master the following fundamentals:

Pace
Pause
Pitch

The voluntary variation of these parameters is called the “voice modulation”. Pace is the number of words being spoken per unit of time, like number of words per minute. Pause is the number of seconds or any other unit of time that appears between two words or two phrase or two sentences. Pitch is the rate of vibration or the frequency of the sound wave. Voice modulation helps to make use of all the three parameters and blend them to make an adorable voice.

Pace

To have a good voice, one needs to have an appropriate pace at which one speaks. Pace is subjective. What is required is that each and every word must be clear when spoken and must not wrap over the previous or the next word.

Pause

A pause of 2 seconds is called a short pause. A pause of more than 2 seconds is considered to be a long pause. Pauses can play a significant role in driving a point and also to bring humor. The speaker must give a pause of 2 seconds after every sentence. A comma is equivalent of 1 quick count, a semi-colon is equivalent of 2 quick counts and a period is equivalent of 3 quick counts. This is the way a person must manage the pauses between his words, phrases, and sentences.

Pitch

Pitch has to be such that the voice appears pleasant to the ears. Too low a pitch and too high a pitch are never liked by people. Whenever something serious or tragic is being spoken about, the pitch must be low. The things that are associated with joy or surprise can be spoken about in a high-pitched tone.

The loudness of the person must match the loudness of the other person or people involved in the conversation. If the other person is speaking in a low volume, it is unwise to keep the volume high then.

Putting some pressure over the words and syllables helps to give importance to those words and helps to carve out the meaning of the words more effectively.
