The Power of Voice

With all the exciting communication technologies around these days – why do we keep talking to each other? Will we reach a point where emails and texts will totally replace person-to-person verbal communication – talking?

Probably not – because of something called prodsy.

We are all experts in using prodsy to improve our communications. We have trained and practised it for years, and are accomplished at leveraging every ounce of impact and effect through it.

And it only works if you are speaking to someone.

Because prodsy is the technical term for the rhythm, stress, intonation, tone and timing of spoken communication. It is a hugely powerful way to communicate emotion as well as helping us to differentiate between a statement, a question or an order, show humour or sarcasm (or even irony) and command focus or show contrast.

Pretty powerful stuff.

And because prodsy is absent from writing we have to use all sorts of punctuation, italics, bold and colour to try and fill the gap. Have you ever sent an email, or a text, intending the content to be light-hearted, only to have it backfire when the recipient reads the email with a very different “tone of voice?”
