Secrets of the Voice: Read People & Influence Others Using the Voice

by Ehud Segev

Would you like to have the ability to "peer" inside people's minds and "read" their thoughts based on the sound of their voice? Do you want audiences to “hang on” to your every word with interest and attention? You can! The voice is a powerful communication tool – if you know how to analyze it and use it effectively yourself. Secrets of the Voice is a compelling guide to five essential elements that, once mastered, will help you analyze the mindset of people around you, and use your own vocal skills to influence others. Written by a world-renowned mentalist and bestselling author Ehud Segev, the book provides “insider” tips to discover people's true personalities through their speech patterns, as well as develop a strong and persuasive voice that will grab, engage, and inspire your listeners every time you speak.

This had some good ideas but was hard to follow on Kindle. Links to audio/visual examples only showed half the image. Some links were no longer available due to infringments on copywrites. It seemed like the only way to practice and really master the concepts was to shell out another $19 for another program, "The Passaggio Vocal Feedback System, and that turned out to be temporariy discontinued on the PC and MAC. Eventually they will have a new system. I may check back later and try again when I have the Passaggio System, but for now, this book was more reading, less doing.

I enjoyed this book, and I'm glad that I read it.

I found the bonus section at the end to be the most interesting and helpful segment.

The reason that I didn't give it a higher score is that it isn't extremely well written.

It is written very simply, repeating itself over and over again, and promising repeatedly to give you more information than it actually does.

It promises for example, to teach you to be able to read other people by listening to them speak. It does give some basic information about this, but not nearly enough to be able to confidently read anyone.

Also, a few of the video links didn't work.

Value in every area of life

I always knew some people are generally great speakers both one on one and to an audience. What I learned are the factors and supporting techniques that I am practicing to control how my message is perceived. Additionally, by understanding the 5 vocal factors, with practice and listening, you can learn much more about a person than what they say. My review is a teaser, and I cannot concisely convey the summary of the book. I can say that there are plenty of multimedia examples to support the ideas in this book. I will keep this forever as an important resource tool for my quality of life.
