TED: How to speak so that people want to listen | Julian Treasure

The video explores the power of the human voice and how to use it effectively. It identifies seven negative speaking habits to avoid and introduces the HAIL framework—Honesty, Authenticity, Integrity, and Love—as positive foundations for impactful communication. The speaker also discusses a toolbox of vocal techniques, including register, timbre, prosody, pace, silence, pitch, and volume, to enhance speech delivery. Vocal warm-up exercises are demonstrated to prepare the voice for important speaking engagements. The video concludes with a vision of a world where sound is created and consumed consciously.
