Transcript

Listen to the difference. Morning. Morning. Who do you want to listen to? Second one. Absolutely. I don't care what the rest of your intonation is. I want it to be in the lowest end of your natural range. Right? So if I don't want to speak up at much in a meeting, my high might be morning, right? Right? Like my flavor that day is like, haven't had my coffee, don't want to talk first. So if I come in with like morning, right? I don't want so we can be intentional with this, right? We're already very good. Do not hold your breath on your first word. This is the biggest mistake I see women make. They go, inhale, hi, good to see you. Or they answer the phone. Hello? Do not hold your breath and speak at the top of your breath. It makes you sound little, it makes you sound naive, and it gives away all your competence. I don't care what you say next, but speak on the outbreath. So, morning, hello, good to see you. So don't hold your breath and go really high. If you nail those first six seconds, everything else is easier.
