为什么很多你平时张口就来的东西,一到了人多的公众场合就紧张的卡壳了。好比《国王的演讲》里的Albert王子一样…颜值再高,话都说不好也是白瞎啊!
声音专家Julian Treasure教你人见人爱的说话术。他总结了讲话最容易出现的七种错误(看你中枪没有!),并指导你如何讲话会让人比较容易接受。不会说话的童鞋,快来看看TED最受欢迎演讲之一《说话的艺术》,一起学学吧!
说话的七宗罪
Gossip 八卦
每个人都不希望成为小道消息的主角,却常担任传递八卦的帮凶。说不在场某人的坏话,这不是个好习惯。要切记,告诉你别人八卦的人,也很可能去告诉别人你的八卦。
别当自己是gossip girl啦~聪明的人不会乱嚼舌根!改掉八卦的习惯,利人又利己。
Judging 评判他人
懂得将批评用合适的话语传达是种艺术,不分青红皂白就批评的习惯,不仅不公正,也显得说话的人过于狭隘。每个人都会犯错,但用高高在上的态度批评别人,反而会让对方不想听,没能让他改过之外,还可能直接被列为拒绝往来户。
Negativity 负能量满满
每个人都想要快乐的生活,当你开心和别人分享的时候,如果被浇了桶冷水,八成会很错愕,还会影响原来的好心情,也许还会考虑以后别自讨没趣。理性的提醒是好事,但事事唱衰就会让别人退避三舍。
Complain 抱怨
有的人从芝麻小事到国家大事都能找到不顺眼的点,然后抱怨个没完没了,底下的负面情绪就像传染病,大家听的当下不舒服,还会影响接下来的心情。我们抱怨天气,抱怨体育,抱怨政治,什么都抱怨。但实际上抱怨是一种病痛,它只会向世界传递负能量。
Excuse 借口
做错事就道歉是天经地义的事,却有人习惯搬出各种借口不愿认错。说借口的同时,就是把责任推给别人去担,此举不能显示你无罪,反而露出这个人没担当,也没有掌控全局的能力。找别人当替死鬼的人难以让人同情。
Embroidery and Exaggeration
粉饰与夸大其词
言过其实就像欺骗,让人信以为真之后才发现根本不是那么一回事,听话的人感觉自己像蠢蛋,久了也不会想和这种人做朋友。
Dogmatism 固执己见
不愿倾听别人的意见、深入了解事实的全貌,认为只有自己说的话是永恒不变的真理,这种自以为是的态度会失去了解更宽广世界的机会,也会显得这种人拒绝和别人沟通、不相信别人,和这种人说话就像白费唇舌,那又何必和他说呢?
如果想让我们的演讲变的有力,并且能够改变世界,有四种品质是我们可以依靠的真正强有力的基础。幸运的是我们拼出了一个词,这个单词是“Hail”( 赞颂 )。
如果我们坚持做到这四点,我认为我们的语言就会被人倾听,那么他们代表什么呢?
H —— Honesty "诚实"
To clear and straight 言简意赅
A —— Authenticity "真实"
Be yourself 真实做自己(坚持自己的认为对的)
I —— Integrity "正直"
Be your word 言必信(做一个值得信赖的人)
L —— Love "爱"
Wish them well 大爱 (愿君安好)
如何说话
改掉「说错话」的坏习惯之后,Julian Treasure 教你要怎么说,能让说出口的话发挥功效。(赶快做笔记!)
注意音域
若是用胸腔发音,能让声音听起来较专业、稳重,听起来较舒服,也较容易让人信赖。研究显示,多数人偏好温暖、平顺像巧克力般的嗓音。音区与音色都可以透过训练改变,让你的声音更加分。
说话的声调
说话时也要注意抑扬顿挫,语音太平淡就像背书一样,让人难以抓到重点且容易分心。说话的时候适时依据说话的内容变化语调,能让言语更加生动、容易理解。
说话的速度
语速能显示你的情绪,说话太快会让人觉得紧张,也容易让人听不清楚你要说的话。放慢速度、不急不徐地说话,删掉一些不必要的语助词,并且适时沉默,能让你说的话更有力量。
说话的音量
控制音量也是重要的一环,保持适当的音量,轻声细语能吸引听者的注意力。说得太大声会让听者不舒服,也会打扰不相干的人。
演讲稿
How to speak so that people want to listen
0:12 The human voice: It's the instrument we all play.It's the most powerful sound in the world, probably. It's the only one that can start a war or say "I love you."And yet many people have the experience that when they speak, people don't listen to them. And why is that? How can we speak powerfully to make change in the world?
0:32 What I'd like to suggest, there are a number of habits that we need to move away from. I've assembled for your pleasure here seven deadly sins of speaking. I'm not pretending this is an exhaustive list, but these seven, I think, are pretty large habits that we can all fall into.
0:48 First,gossip. Speaking ill of somebody who's not present. Not a nice habit, and we know perfectly wellthe person gossiping, five minutes later, will be gossiping about us.
1:00 Second,judging. We know people who are like this in conversation, and it's very hard to listen to somebody if you know that you're being judged and found wanting at the same time.
1:11 Third,negativity. You can fall into this. My mother, in the last years of her life, became very negative, and it's hard to listen. I remember one day, I said to her, "It's October 1 today," and she said, "I know, isn't it dreadful?"
1:26 It's hard to listen when somebody's that negative.
1:29 And another form of negativity,complaining. Well, this is the national art of the U.K. It's our national sport. We complain about the weather, sport, about politics, about everything, but actually, complaining is viral misery. It's not spreading sunshine and lightness in the world.
1:47Excuses.
1:49 We've all met this guy. Maybe we've all been this guy. Some people have a blamethrower. They just pass it on to everybody else and don't take responsibility for their actions, and again, hard to listen to somebody who is being like that.
2:01 Penultimate, the sixth of the seven,embroidery, exaggeration. It demeans our language, actually, sometimes. For example, if I see something that really is awesome, what do I call it?
2:16 And then, of course, this exaggeration becomes lying, and we don't want to listen to people we know are lying to us.
2:23And finally,dogmatism. The confusion of facts with opinions. When those two things get conflated,you're listening into the wind. You know, somebody is bombarding you with their opinions as if they were true. It's difficult to listen to that.
2:39 So here they are, seven deadly sins of speaking. These are things I think we need to avoid. But is there a positive way to think about this? Yes, there is. I'd like to suggest that there are four really powerful cornerstones, foundations, that we can stand on if we want our speech to be powerful and to make change in the world. Fortunately, these things spell a word. The word is "hail," and it has a great definition as well. I'm not talking about the stuff that falls from the sky and hits you on the head. I'm talking about this definition, to greet or acclaim enthusiastically, which is how I think our words will be received if we stand on these four things.
3:17 So what do they stand for? See if you can guess. The H, honesty, of course, being true in what you say, being straight and clear. The A is authenticity, just being yourself. A friend of mine described it as standing in your own truth, which I think is a lovely way to put it. The I is integrity, being your word,actually doing what you say, and being somebody people can trust. And the L is love. I don't mean romantic love, but I do mean wishing people well, for two reasons. First of all, I think absolute honesty may not be what we want. I mean, my goodness, you look ugly this morning. Perhaps that's not necessary. Tempered with love, of course, honesty is a great thing. But also, if you're really wishing somebody well, it's very hard to judge them at the same time. I'm not even sure you can do those two things simultaneously. So hail.
4:15 Also, now that's what you say, and it's like the old song, it is what you say, it's also the way that you say it. You have an amazing toolbox. This instrument is incredible, and yet this is a toolbox that very few people have ever opened. I'd like to have a little rummage in there with you now and just pull a few tools out that you might like to take away and play with, which will increase the power of your speaking.
4:37 Register, for example. Now, falsetto register may not be very useful most of the time, but there's a register in between. I'm not going to get very technical about this for any of you who are voice coaches.You can locate your voice, however. So if I talk up here in my nose, you can hear the difference. If I go down here in my throat, which is where most of us speak from most of the time. But if you want weight,you need to go down here to the chest. You hear the difference? We vote for politicians with lower voices, it's true, because we associate depth with power and with authority. That's register.
5:15 Then we have timbre. It's the way your voice feels. Again, the research shows that we prefer voices which are rich, smooth, warm, like hot chocolate. Well if that's not you, that's not the end of the world,because you can train. Go and get a voice coach. And there are amazing things you can do with breathing, with posture, and with exercises to improve the timbre of your voice.
5:38 Then prosody. I love prosody. This is the sing-song, the meta-language that we use in order to impart meaning. It's root one for meaning in conversation. People who speak all on one note are really quite hard to listen to if they don't have any prosody at all. That's where the word "monotonic" comes from, or monotonous, monotone. Also, we have repetitive prosody now coming in, where every sentence ends as if it were a question when it's actually not a question, it's a statement?
6:10 And if you repeat that one, it's actually restricting your ability to communicate through prosody, which I think is a shame, so let's try and break that habit.
6:20 Pace.
6:21 I can get very excited by saying something really quickly, or I can slow right down to emphasize, and at the end of that, of course, is our old friend silence. There's nothing wrong with a bit of silence in a talk, is there? We don't have to fill it with ums and ahs. It can be very powerful.
6:42 Of course, pitch often goes along with pace to indicate arousal, but you can do it just with pitch. Where did you leave my keys? (Higher pitch) Where did you leave my keys? So, slightly different meaning in those two deliveries.
6:42 Of course, pitch often goes along with pace to indicate arousal, but you can do it just with pitch. Where did you leave my keys? (Higher pitch) Where did you leave my keys? So, slightly different meaning in those two deliveries.
6:55 And finally, volume. (Loud) I can get really excited by using volume. Sorry about that, if I startled anybody.Or, I can have you really pay attention by getting very quiet. Some people broadcast the whole time. Try not to do that. That's called sodcasting,
7:14 Imposing your sound on people around you carelessly and inconsiderately. Not nice.
7:20Of course, where this all comes into play most of all is when you've got something really important to do.It might be standing on a stage like this and giving a talk to people. It might be proposing marriage,asking for a raise, a wedding speech. Whatever it is, if it's really important, you owe it to yourself to look at this toolbox and the engine that it's going to work on, and no engine works well without being warmed up. Warm up your voice.
7:46 Actually, let me show you how to do that. Would you all like to stand up for a moment? I'm going to show you the six vocal warm-up exercises that I do before every talk I ever do. Any time you're going to talk to anybody important, do these. First, arms up, deep breath in, and sigh out, ahhhhh, like that. One more time. Ahhhh, very good. Now we're going to warm up our lips, and we're going to go Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba. Very good. And now, brrrrrrrrrr, just like when you were a kid. Brrrr. Now your lips should be coming alive. We're going to do the tongue next with exaggerated la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Beautiful. You're getting really good at this. And then, roll an R. Rrrrrrr. That's like champagne for the tongue.Finally, and if I can only do one, the pros call this the siren. It's really good. It starts with "we" and goes to "aw." The "we" is high, the "aw" is low. So you go, weeeaawww, weeeaawww.
8:53 Fantastic. Give yourselves a round of applause. Take a seat, thank you.
8:58 Next time you speak, do those in advance.
9:01 Now let me just put this in context to close. This is a serious point here. This is where we are now, right?We speak not very well to people who simply aren't listening in an environment that's all about noise and bad acoustics. I have talked about that on this stage in different phases. What would the world be like if we were speaking powerfully to people who were listening consciously in environments which were actually fit for purpose? Or to make that a bit larger, what would the world be like if we were creating sound consciously and consuming sound consciously and designing all our environments consciously for sound? That would be a world that does sound beautiful, and one where understanding would be the norm, and that is an idea worth spreading.
9:48 Thank you.
