Our
voice can either conceal or reveal our emotions. During the speech, your tone
of voice is as important as message, even excellent speech will be a total flop
if your voice starts to quiver.
The
video shows how much voice says about you.
Have
you ever had situation when your voice started to quiver? If so, what kind of
situation was it?
Have
you heard before about vocal folds’ “extra” duties?
Do you
pay attention to your interlocutor’s tone of voice?

Of course, most of the time this happened during my first job interviews and team calls, but then got I use to this and started to see it from the completely different point of view.
Have you heard before about vocal folds’ “extra” duties?
I did not. Honestly. it was quite informative video for me. Thank you:)
Do you pay attention to your interlocutor’s tone of voice?
I don't do it on purpose, but the tone automatically affects the content of the interlocutor’s message.
Actually my voice doesn't quiver when im nervous but my hands are shaking or sometimes legs. I remember when I was doing my driver licence, upon taking an exam my leg was shaking so bad i almost coudn't control everything properly. I was lucky that i calmed down a little but that thing has never ever happend to me that is why I was so surprised
2. Have you heard before about vocal folds’ “extra” duties?
No, I wasn't interested in it before. The video itself informed me about it. I felt like getting to know how to stop being so stressed could be more important than getting to know why my voice shakes when I'm nervous. It's just more practical solution :)
3. Do you pay attention to your interlocutor’s tone of voice?
I think i don't pay attention to it but if the persons voice is really deep or characteristic it automatically makes us to focus on it. If the voice is quivering people are trying to calm the person down. It's the way of expressing the feeling and i would love to stop on that
2. No I didn't! It seems so weird that something big like this isn't common knowledge. All I learned in biology is that vocal cords stretch or tightens, to modulate our voice.
3. Yes I do. Tone is almost as much important as words. You can often detect if someone's lying or not sure of what they're talking about. Tone also usually may impact how you are received. If you tone is weak and breaking, there's possibility you will not be taken seriously.
Yes. I think that everyone has been in at least one of this kind of situation. I remember the most the situation on my polish spoken exam. I was really stressed out, because it was really important, and polish wasn't my best subject. I've got a topic, that I didn't understand that much, and because of that my voice started to quiver. I tried to calm down, but it was quite difficult, taking into account the small amount of time that I had for my spoken part.

Not really, but they were pretty interesting.
3. Do you pay attention to your interlocutor’s tone of voice?
Yes, I think that I'm really sensitive towards the change of someone's tone of voice. It says a lot about their mental state of a person that we are talking with, and if you detect earlier that they might be annoyed, you have a chance to try to avoid it, by talking about something else or in a different tone of voice.
