Vitality

Life and energy always brought home the cherry; quiet and dull sat home with their thumbs.

Quiet and dull never sold anything; if you’re a teacher, your students probably might have had gone off to sleep long ago. They eventually might begin avoiding your classes altogether. You need to wake up your customer, client and or audience. You need to excite them. You want them to be wrapped in attention. You want to pump in that life and energy that will keep them attracted and attentive. Now imagine if you sounded like a computer voice or an animation for the entire length of your speech to your audience. You would have definitely packed half of them to sleep and half would have begun snoring. This is surely something you really don’t want to do. Punch in that life like you were punching your fist through a sack of cotton wool. You want it to go through and through.

Take for example some of the news channels on air today. The likes of Times Now, NDTV24/7 and you also have Doordarshan. Now I do not want to take this guess for you but you know yourself and you know what you watch more and what you prefer not watching. Where do you find the life and energy? Have you asked yourself why you watch a certain channel and why you don’t the others? You might have caught yourself saying. “There’s just no life and energy in the way they speak’. That’s absolutely right, this is exactly how your prospect with judge you no matter what.

Speaking as you may have already learnt by now is a quality. A qualitative skill has life and energy packed into it and without it; it’s just like pen without ink. Speaking with life and energy is like watching sholay a hundred times over and you still want to watch it. There is life and energy in the film which draws to watch it over and over again. Similarly when you speak with life and energy it draws your customers, clients and or audiences towards you like a magnet. You might be a very nice person and write very well, but that isn’t any good when you need to speak. Speaking from all facets holds the key.

Your voice should sound like bells to the weary ear, it should create ripples like it does on the water surface, this is energizing your speaking, and this is pumping in life into your speaking. Don’t be excessive again as it might sound shrieky and not pleasant but enough to move and stir you customer, client and or audience.    

Now if you are about to give a presentation or give a speech to a large audience. The basic for energy, of course, is enough rest. So get a good night’s sleep the night before. If you’ve traveled the same day, find a few minutes to close your eyes and rest. When you start to speak, move your hands and look directly at the person or people you’re talking to. If you’re standing, move about (without pacing as if you want to get out and run back to your room or cabin). Let your voice express your convictions. Don’t use a monotone. Modulate your voice and be sure there are variations in pitch, tone, and volume. You don’t want to scream and sound like a blaring rural make speaker. And you don’t want to sound too soft that you sound like a door mouse. Going squeaky squeaky that you make your audience irritable and you might find yourself in a mouse trap. Regulate your voice so that it has life and energy not pumped with steroids.   

You will notice the following in people:

• The capacity to live, grow, or develop
• Physical or intellectual vigor; energy
• The characteristic, principle, or force that drives you
• Power to survive

And the following qualities:

• Spark
• Verve
• Élan
• Vigor

Remember: It’s going to be like taking a tuning hammer to punch in nails. You need the life and energy to drive your point home.
