Most people don't like the sound of their voice—but for some, their vocal and communication habits are holding back professional success. Typical problems include:
• Voice pitches too high, nasal, gravelly, etc.
• Mumbling, swallowing of words
• Speech too soft--people constantly asking to speak up
• Speaking too fast
• Difficulty making small talk
• Difficulty making eye contact
• Stage fright
• Interrupting others
Other books address some of these issues but are not grounded in speech science and professional expertise. With dozens of years under her belt as a Ph.D. speech therapist and pathologist, Carol Fleming can get every reader to the right solutions quickly.
