Everyone these days seems to have heard of Professor Albert Mehrabian. Mehrabian has pioneered the understanding of communications since the 1960's, and established this classic statistic for the effectiveness of spoken communications:
7% of meaning is in the words that are spoken.
38% of meaning is paralinguistic (the way that the words are said).
55% of meaning is in facial expression.
Well a Polish friend of mine showed me this footage of an interviewer falling to pieces laughing (LIVE) because of someone’s squeaky voice. VERY funny but also a reminder that body language, voice and words all need to be worked on and in sync. Watch and enjoy! Hats off to the chap with the dodgy voice for not walking off the stage and/or beating the interviewer.
You really don’t to speak Polish to appreciate this!!
