David Pope is an executive voice coach based in Hong Kong for 32 years. He started in 1980s London at a Soho production company making music videos for Wham!, Dire Straits and A-ha, then joined the BBC as an assistant film editor. He founded All Voice Talent in 2010, has spent more than 30,000 hours in recording studios and coaches leaders from law firms and financial institutions in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Australia, the Middle East and London.
About 20 years ago he was told that growing his business meant leaving the studio for stages and workshops. He did, made mistakes in public and built the confidence he now teaches.
In this episode:
– The three most common executive presence faults: speaking too fast, a monotone delivery and filler words
– Why a slightly slower pace reads as authority when you present results, and rapid delivery reads as nerves
– The emphasis pause before a key figure, such as a 33% rise, so the number lands with the room
– The rhetorical question pause before the answer
– Chunking: mark a script with slash marks and stress one word per chunk, what Pope calls ”audio punctuation”
– Speakers who think they paused for five seconds usually paused for half a second
– Gravitas is a balance of authority, energy and warmth, not a booming voice
– In Center for Talent Innovation research, 5% of senior leaders named appearance and 28% communication as core to executive presence; the majority named gravitas
– Pope's Voice Influence Framework: voice, presence and messaging
– Pope says charisma can be developed; Ademola argues it is largely natural
