Thumbs And Fingers - The Lost Art Of Public Discourse
In the 21st century, thumbs and fingers tend to be the preferred mode of communication. Typing can convey data points but not feeling as effectively as the human voice. Please be aware that because of this, there is a tendency* to become unconsciously disenfranchised from our most important communication tool our voices.
All verbal communication is simply based on unconscious habit. Every encounter is an opportunity that can be gained or lost. In Vocal Awareness®, my life work, I am passionately committed to not making you into someone you’re not, but helping you bring out who you are capable of being.
For many years, and in part because of the proliferation and popularity of online communication, I have observed through the thousands of seminars and one-on-one professional encounters, that it has become increasingly difficult for us to simply speak not just type with one another in comfortable, authentic and strategic ways. Following are some points to consider:
1. Create a persona statement. The root of the word persona means “thru the sound.” This exercise has two parts:

The period at the end of your thought is a metaphor. It says “this is how I want to be perceived period all the time.”
2. Whenever possible, record yourself in conversation and listen back. This is what I call “game film.” It is like an athlete studying his or her performance. Notice if you are “embodying your idealized persona” or not.
3. Be strategic. Our mouth is not merely our “mind out loud”. Don’t just be an unconscious data delivery system. Toward this end, eliminate “um” and “uh” from your vocabulary. They are simply fillers and detract from what you want to say and how you want to be known.
