Do you believe that the image you project has an impact on your professional or business life? I would imagine that your answer is yes. I would also imagine that you have heard yourself on some type of recording equipment – your voicemail, an answering machine, a camcorder, or maybe even an old audio tape recorder. When you hear your recorded voice, what is your reaction? Are you shocked, maybe embarrassed? How about humiliated? In all the years I have been speaking professionally about the sound of the voice, I always ask that question of my audience. 99% do not raise their hands. In fact, most tend to look around the room uncomfortably, possibly hoping I will not call upon them to speak. The reason for their discomfort is because, in being asked that question, they have an idea of what I am going to say next and they do not want to hear it. It goes something like this: The voice you hear on your voicemail or other type of recording equipment is how everyone else recognizes you. Let 4 me say that again. The voice which embarrasses, humiliates, disgusts, or shocks you is how everyone else recognizes you.

  • From Betty White to Sandra Bullock, the 10 Stars America Puts the Most Faith In
    The Star Economy Hollywood's Most Trustworthy Celebrities Forbes Staff, 02.08.11, 06:00 AM EST From Betty White to Sandra Bullock, the 10 stars America puts the most faith in. Los Angeles -- Audiences can't seem to get enough of Betty White, whether she's standing at an awards show podium, starring in a sitcom or hosting Saturday Night Live. Turns out they have a tremendous amount of faith in her too, according to E-Poll Market Research, which has named the 89-year-old star among the most trusted celebrities in America. To determine which other stars the public has come to count on, we reached out to the California-based polling company, which ranks more than 6,000 celebrities on 46 different personality attributes, including trustworthiness and likability. "People are hardwired to 'worship' something, and celebrities are akin to modern-day religious icons," says James Houran, a clinical psychologist who researches the topic. "We trust them because we feel we know them--they are familiar and successful, and people want to copy them in an effort to feel successful too." The trouble with this: What we know is simply an on-screen persona, which we subconsciously confuse, or even substitute, for an off-screen one. Very often, that's by design. In a TMZ-fueled culture with a seemingly insatiable appetite for all things celebrity, these stars and the pricey publicity teams that they employ go to great lengths to ensure that details of their private lives remain precisely that. To be sure, some are more successful at it than others (think Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen).
