- Monotone: Speaking in one pitch pattern. It is uninteresting to follow and gets tuned out within seconds.
- Mumbling: This is similar to monotone but the lack of range of motion with the mouth makes articulation poor and creates a volume issue. A boring speech pattern has been created and it also signals lack of interest.
- Upspeak: This is when sentences end on a higher note instead of a lower one. Men pick this up as a way of being casual. Men who have the upspeak habit send non-verbal signals that they are not confident or not sure of what they are saying is true. It’s very distracting to listeners and does not present as credible.
- Vocal fry: This happens at the end of a sentence where the last couple of words has a rough, pitch quality. Is sounds like a small “fry” sound.
- Trailing off with breath and volume toward the end of statements. This is a common habit from casual men. The brain goes, “Oh- I’m almost done with my statement so I will lower my voice and trail off before being done with the thought.” This habit sends a signal of boredom and not fully being engaged in the discussion.
The good news is that these unhelpful behaviors can be replaced with new ones. This e-learning communication course will teach the three most important skills for business communication by learning how to speak in a more engaging and persuasive melody style, have a stronger and more powerful voice and breathe from the diaphragm. In addition, how to enhance leadership through communication such as posing questions that get results, eliminating weak vocabulary and poor speech habits that hurts credibility is also covered.

Chapter 1 & 2: The Rhythm and Melody for Amazing Communication Skills
Chapter One- teaches how to speak in a style that is engaging and interesting. People who learn to speak with skilled intonation and perceived as smart and better leaders. Participants will learn a specific strategy for learning how to speak with a more controlled rate of speed, making articulation sharp and crisp and having naturally improved projection. This speaking style is more commanding and enhances leadership qualities.
Chapter Two- will teach how to use the skill at a more advanced level that will be ideal for delivering presentations, leading meetings, speaking with more persuasion, and connecting with individuals. Other facets of leadership through communication are also taught such as how to pose questions that get you the results you want, common vocabulary words that weakens statements and common bad speech habits will be revealed with strategies on how to eliminate them.
Chapter 3: Speaking from a Stronger and More Powerful Voice
The second skill is learning how to speak with a stronger and more powerful voice. There is a place in the lower throat where the vocal folds function at their best to produce a voice that is rich and vibrant. This e-learning course teaches that placement while eliminating a thin, high or nasal sounding voice.
Chapter 4: How to Speak with a Diaphragm Breath
The final mechanical skill is diaphragm breathing. Many people speak on a shallow breath or even run out of breath when talking. Speaking from a diaphragm breath will allow for more comfort and better projection. In addition, a full diaphragm breath along with good speech melody creates effective and calm speakers.
