This book rocked my world in terms of how to use my voice to persuade people to my way of thinking. I never realized my voice---and just my voice---could seduce or sedate people. I'm not talking about the words you use so much as the voice you use to express those words. In other words, how do you SOUND? And if you are feeling like crap, what can you do to make yourself sound like you are up? This author covers it all, including how to overcome stage fright. I urge anyone who speaks more than 5 minutes a day, to anyone at all, whetehr on the phone or in person, to grab this book. At only $15 a copy, it will probably save your butt and help you win friends and influence people with your voice alone.

As someone who has a great interest in public speaking,
and needs such skills in his future occupation as a law-enforcement officer -- this book is a must!

Speak to influence is no ordinary book. It is all about how
to be a positive and wonderful speaker in all sort of situations.
Would you like to be an appraised speaker, get people on your
side and have people like your speaking talents? Then order
this book and The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Dr.
Joseph Murphy. Together these two books will make you a success.

For business men, this book is an absolute must! Be trustworthy
in the eyes of your customer -- here is a complete plan.

Speak to influence is all about influencing people in
a positive way.

I read the book and still applying the lessons. I am anInternet Marketing Consultant ... I help individuals and businesseswith their Internet connections, Web Site Issues and eCommercebusiness. I do a lot of one on one presentation and grouppresentations. This book helped me realize the power of my voice andhow it made a lot of difference in getting my messages accross. Be iton the telephone, face to face accross the table or in front of anaudience. It's very reassuring to know that I can deliver a greatpresentation any time because I know how to use my voice. Like thesaying goes "It's not just what you say, it's how you sayit" and this book has been a big help.

I would recommend it toanyone who what's to improve their verbal communication skill. Thanksto Ms. Susan Berkeley for the great book.

Speak to Influence is an easy read and filled with solid, common-sense advice on improving speaking skills, especially in business. It helped me realize why I often don't get my message across when I speak and gave me lots of tips to sound more confident. I keep it nearby for reinforcement!

The book is well laid out and provides hand holding when needed to help you perform the exercise without the typical concerns about speaking out loud in front of a mirror for example. I teach SharePoint both in person and over the net so being able to speak clearly (very helpful when dealing with international clients) is a must. I was able to put some of her tips to use right away, and could tell the difference! If you are new to doing public speaking, voice-overs, etc, this book will be of great value to you.

I would like to have had some before and after audio clips available, perhaps a CD that had the exercises spoken aloud so we could concentrate on the task and not holding the book.

Do not waste your time or why is Amazon pushing this piece of junk.

Poorly written, combined with poor advice makes this book a waste of money and time. Commercial interests hype the book, yet there is little in it that is compeling.

Quite honestly I found myself very bored reading this book. It's an OK book if you want to learn how to speak in general, but look elsewhere if your wanting to get into voice-overs. This book did absolutely nothing for me, in voice-overs or otherwise.
Yawn.
