Top 8 tips to have more confident body language

Find Your Voice

Research indicates that pitch is one of the vocal hallmarks of a confident speaker, and that lower pitches and a steady, consistent tone are associated with higher competence and professional success. 

Of course, this doesn’t mean that people with higher-pitched voices are unconfident or unsuccessful. Rather, this research suggests that when stressed or nervous, your voice may become higher or more screechy than your “baseline”. In these moments, remind yourself to speak as if talking to a close friend or loved one, which can help you communicate in a more conversational, relaxed style.
