It should sound like your voice, that you seemed charismatic

Professor, University of California at Los Angeles Signorello Rosario (Rosario Signorello) conducted a study proving that voice - one of the key features of a charismatic person. He also talked about how the voice should sound to the speaker was convincing.

Dr. Signorello believes that in assessing how charismatic people, we first of all pay attention to the voice. Then there are secondary factors: what people say, body language, his appearance, and so on. After analyzing voices of people speaking different languages, the researchers came to the conclusion that in the voice of each of them can be traced the same pattern.

Signorello analyzed the voices of presidents, politicians, CEO of large companies. He notes that in the voices of Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Tim Cook present the same pattern as the voice of French President Francois Hollande. However, the same can be said about other policies, whose voices were subjected to the test. Among them is the former president of Brazil, Luis Inacio da Silva, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Italian politicians Umberto Bossi and Luigi de Madzhistris.

To eliminate the influence of what is said, under investigation, Signorello missed recording via a speech synthesizer. The frequency, intensity, duration and other characteristics of voice remained unchanged.

Then the researchers asked 107 women and 26 men to assess people's voices using 67 positive and negative adjectives. For example, "compelling", "charming" or "self-centered" and "threatened".

In all three languages ​​(English, French, Italian), I noticed the same patterns. Charismatic voice of the people below, they stretch his range at public appearances.

Professor explains, bass voice - a sign of dominance and power. People subconsciously are more likely to obey the owner of the voice. In the second part of the experiment Signorello artificially raised his voice, Francois Hollande, and evaluation of the respondents have changed for the worse.

Signorello believes that the charismatic voice can be trained. Singers and actors trained voice to achieve higher or lower tones. Those who want to become a leader, you need to do the same.

This study addresses only the votes of the male. Later professor is going to conduct a similar study, but with women. Although now he believes that the range of voices affects the charisma of both sexes. But it does not undertake to assert the same about the bass.
