“Can your voice tone really change your annual income?!” — Is that hard to believe?
What if your voice, your way of speaking, and your unconscious body language are influencing your evaluation, career, and even your earnings?
And what if research from Harvard University, the world’s leading academic institution, suggests this astonishing truth? Would you listen?
During my international activities, while researching various literatures, I came across this remarkable paper. During a recent keynote speech in France, I reconfirmed its importance as many attendees showed keen interest in body language, aligning with my findings.
We usually pay attention to what we say, but rarely consider how we say it, or what nonverbal cues we are emitting. Yet, therein lies the hidden key to elevating your business to the next level and dramatically improving your relationships.
If you:
- “struggle with speaking”
- “lack confidence”
- “feel your evaluation somehow doesn’t improve”
you might be overlooking “another message” you’re sending unconsciously.
On this page, based on research from Harvard University, the world’s top academic institution, we will explain the essence of ‘voice’ and ‘nonverbal communication’ that is indispensable for leaders and business professionals to maximize their results.
Astonishing Facts Suggested by Harvard University, the World’s Leading Institution
A recent study by Harvard Business School (HBS), titled ‘CEO VOICE,’ cast a new light on this very question.

This study discovered an intriguing correlation between the pitch of CEOs’ voices, the size of their companies, and their compensation.
Specifically, the research revealed the following:
- CEOs with lower-pitched voices tend to manage larger companies and earn higher compensation.
This correlation remained significant even after accounting for known factors such as CEO age, education, industry, and other experience or academic backgrounds, suggesting the intrinsic influence of voice tone itself that cannot be explained by these factors alone.
The research results clearly indicate that ‘nonverbal cues’ like voice tone play a crucial role in evaluating business leadership.
Of course, this is not a simple case of ‘lower voice equals success.’ What’s important is not the ‘pitch’ of the voice itself, but the nonverbal messages it conveys to the listener: ‘confidence,’ ‘trustworthiness,’ ‘stability,’ and ‘leadership.’ Harvard’s research scientifically illustrated one aspect of how these ‘unspoken messages’ are valued in the business world.
Is Your Hesitation Conveying a “Different Message” to Others?
For example, have you ever experienced this?
- You know your product or service has definite value. But the moment you try to communicate it, your voice suddenly becomes smaller.
- When you’re about to state the price, you feel a lump in your throat.
- Thoughts like “What if they think it’s too expensive?” cross your mind, and you find yourself making excuses.
- Despite having a good product, you feel its value isn’t being properly conveyed.
- You somehow feel you’re being perceived as “cheap” or “less valuable.”
Actually, these aren’t just internal issues. That “hesitation” is unconsciously communicated to the other person through your voice tone, facial expressions, and posture, potentially resulting in impressions like “the price is too high” or “is this really necessary?”
Communicating prices with confidence isn’t just about strengthening your mindset. By acquiring the ‘Body Speech’ technique – transmitting ‘trust’ and ‘value’ through your voice and body – you can consciously convey trust and value, attracting desired outcomes.
Your ‘Body Speech’ is the Key to Conveying Your True Value
This Harvard University research validates the immeasurable impact of ‘voice tone’ as a form of nonverbal communication, backed by world-leading authority. The ‘Body Speech’ technique, which I specialize in teaching, is precisely the art of consciously utilizing your ‘entire body’ to maximize the power of this nonverbal communication.
‘Body Speech’ refers to a comprehensive technique of intentionally conveying messages using your ‘entire body’ – specifically, facial expressions, posture, gestures, eye movements, and aspects like voice tone and pauses – among other forms of nonverbal communication.
This is an advanced nonverbal communication skill, cultivated through experiences as a performer and actor, literally about ‘communicating with your whole body,’ and it’s a skill anyone can acquire through conscious training. Your ‘voice tone,’ facial expressions, posture, gestures, and eye movements are all “unspoken messages” you yourself emit.
I was originally not a confident speaker. That’s precisely why I developed and practiced ‘Body Speech’ as a ‘non-verbal communication technique’ that doesn’t rely on words.
How confident you are
How trustworthy you are
How empathetic you are towards others
How effectively you can demonstrate leadership
These “internal qualities” are conveyed to others even more than the content of your words, through your voice tone and the nonverbal messages emanating from your entire body.
We unconsciously interpret a vast amount of information from others’ voice tones, expressions, and gestures. And based on that information, we judge whether the other person is “trustworthy,” “someone we want to work with,” or “someone we can entrust tasks to.”
It’s no exaggeration to say that your career, relationships, and business success depend on how consciously you can master this nonverbal communication, namely ‘Body Speech.’
Your Future Will Change with Your ‘Body Speech’
So, how can we specifically leverage these Harvard University research findings in our careers and businesses? And beyond just voice tone, what should you be aware of and what actions should you take to refine your entire ‘Body Speech,’ convey confidence and trust, and achieve your desired outcomes?
