“The easiest way to exert authority is by speaking more loudly.

In the first, 161 undergraduate students (both men and women) read from the Rainbow Passage, a classic text used to measure voice articulation. The readings allowed the scholars to establish the baseline acoustics of study subjects using six standard measures around pitch, … den ganzen Artikel im Original weiterlesen
