How Are We As 'ACTORS IN LIFE'
Are we all aware that we are 'ACTORS IN LIFE'? Honestly, I was NOT aware of this fact NOT until years passed when I came with this realization, THAT when I speak, I speak differently when I'm talking to my boss versus my client versus THAT typical restaurant waiter OR butler. Oh yes, isn't that a very valid realization? I admit I talk quite differently to each of those scenarios. NOT to a fault and without bad faith, we tend to auto-tweak ourselves. So, why DON'T we deep-dive as regards our human behaviors manifesting differently across different scenarios๐๐๐Apparently, people change the way they speak based on the STATUS of the person wo whom they are talking. So, have we ever wondered WHY people change the way they speak in certain situations? Researches show that people tend to change the pitch of their voice depending on to WHOM they are talking and HOW dominant they feel in a particular context๐๐๐Conclusively, studies show that individuals' vocal characteristics are altered in response to people of different social status. Regardless of self-perceived social status, people tend to talk to those they consider high status individuals using a high pitch. Without being gender biased, studies also show that for men, a deep, masculine voice sounds dominant especially in men, while the opposite is true of a higher pitched voice๐ต๐ด๐ทIf there is something common between genders, both alter their pitch in response to people they think are dominant and/or prestigious. Another sharp observation is that for people who consider themselves to be dominant [those who use methods like coercion, manipulation or intimidation], they are LESS LIKELY to vary their pitch and will instead talk in a lower tone when talking to someone of a high social status❗❗❗Our key takeaway today? For the minority WHO do not change HOW loud they are speaking [no matter WHO they are talking to], that likely means that they are more CALM and in CONTROL of a situation. So let's rethink HOW we talk from the time we wake up till we hit the sack. If only we As 'ACTORS IN LIFE', would be welcoming if we can further tweak our own selves✅✅✅
