Vocal and non-verbal analyses are unique tools created by the Vox Institute in Geneva. These tools objectively analyse how the speaker is perceived through their voice and other non-verbal behaviour.

In persuasive communication, special attention is paid to the image you convey through your non-verbal behaviour.  The overall impact that you have is highly dependent on these areas and by understanding what information you are sending through these channels and what the ideals are for positive influence and impact, you can dramatically enhance your image.

Simple voice analysis
A sample of the client’s natural speaking voice is digitised and submitted to acoustical signal analysis. A one-page report is produced showing the vocal parameters (see below) as compared against a reference and giving objectives for training. The report can be produced in a day and works well for group workshops. 

Full voice analysis
7 samples of the client’s voice are digitised and submitted to acoustical signal analysis. A 6-8 page report is produced detailing the vocal parameters, emotional encoding along with the resulting speaker’s image (see below) and objectives for training. The report takes about 10 days to produce due to the complexity of the analysis.

Non-verbal behaviour analysis
A video recording is taken of the client speaking, often during the voice recording for a full voice analysis.  This is then analysed using the FACS method (Facial Action Coding System) elaborated by Prof. Paul Ekman (University of California).  The results are then returned in the form of a comprehensive report, which takes approximately 14 days to produce due to the complexity of the analysis.
