La Voz, una clave basica de la comunicacion… (Your voice a key element in communications)
En estos dias me he puesto a pensar,
y analizar el impacto de la voz en la
comunicacion. Hace mas de un mes estaba escuchando la radio un comercial de
pizza que considere absurdo, y tuvo
mucho que ver con el juego de voz del narrador que cambio la entonacion algo mas lenta para enfatizar el comercial. Desgraciadamente esta campaña de la compañia
de Pizza duro casi tres semanas y el comercial se podia oir continuamente a
todas horas en todas las estaciones de radio. Por fin se acabo, Gracias a
Dios y descanzamos de una campaña absurda
que por lo menos a mi ni me inclino a no ir a comprale pizza ni a ellos ni a
nadie.
Pero ahora viene lo curioso………hace
unos dias estoy escuchando un comercial de seguro, o creo de telefonos moviles
y escucho la voz del mismo individuo…y me volvio la sensacion de
desprecio, ya que fue esa voz la que me
incomodo tanto por tres semanas que ni Ie escuche el comercial, ni me llamo la
atencion lo que decia, simplemente desvie mi mente y segui manejando.
Varios dias despues vuelvo a escuchar
al mismo individio hacienda otro comercial de radio y vuelvo a revivir esa
molestia, ya que su tono de voz, su señal que lo identifica ha impactado tanto
que me repugna. Admito que ni conozco al individuo, ni le deseo nada malo. Pero
si vive de su voz hacienda comerciales, a mi ya me puede borrar en la lista de
seguidores. Cualquier cosa que trate de promover lo rechazo…..y todo por que se
presto para aquel comercial tan absurdo.
En la vida, especialmente en la
radio, muchos locutores, tambien viven
de hacer comerciales como algo suplementario a sus salarios basicos que no
necesariamente son muy bien remunerados. Pero ellos si reconocen lo que puede
costarle eventualmente que lo asocien a un producto, a un partido politico, a un abogado que no trabaja por las de la ley….les hace pensar en que
comerciales hacer y cual no hacer. Los pobres heroes que estan en un segundo plano
que simplemente hacen comerciales, que nunca sabremos sus nombres, esos a veces
no les quedara mas remedio que cumplir con lo requerido ya que ese es el
sustento unico.
Admito que deberia haber reflejado mi
molestia a la compañia de publicidad que hizo el absurdo comercial, pero
volvemos al punto inicial, fue la voz la
que ha causado esta reaccion en cadena que hoy por hoy no aguanto oir al
individuo en ningun comercial.
Asi que si hay algo que aprender de
todo esto, es que en la vida a diario nos prestamos para decir cosas, a
familiares, amigos y desconocidos… y
nos juzgamos en cada momento por el tono de nuestra voz incomodar a alguien que
pueda tener un impacto perdurable…
In these days I have started to think and analyze the impact of voice in
the communication. Almost a month ago I was listening to the radio a pizza commercial
which I considered absurd, and had much to do with the inflection of the voice of the Narrator who also changed the intonation somewhat more slowly to emphasize the
commercial. Unfortunately this campaign from Pizza Company lasted almost three
weeks and the commercial could be heard continuously at all times on all radio
stations. Thank God we finally rested
and the absurd campaign ended. At least in my opinion it did not work; it did
not encourage me to go and buy their pizza
or any other brand.
But now comes the curios part of the
story………just a few days ago I am listening to an insurance commercial, or it may
have been a mobile phone ad, and I heard
the voice of the same individual again …
And once again the feeling of disgust, invaded my senses because it was that
voice that made me uncomfortable for three weeks and I could not, or would not listen to the
commercial, it did not catch my
attention or what he said, I simply blocked
my mind and continued driving.
Several days later, once again I was listening to another insurance or
finance commercial on the radio and again began to revive this annoyance, that same tone of voice, it was the signal that
identifies him, it has impacted me so much it disgusts me. I admit, I do not
know the individual, or wish him nothing wrong. But if he makes a living doing
radio commercials, he won’t sell me a thing. His voice to me is already a turn
off. He can delete me from the list of
followers. Anything that he tries to promote I refuse to listen. And that
happened because he lent himself to do that absurd commercial.
In life, especially in the radio, many anchors also do radio commercials to
add something extra to their wages. Radio is not a well paid endeavor. But they
recognize what can cost them if they are
associated to a product, to a political party, or a lawyer who does not work on
the right side of the law… they think and choose which commercials or businesses to do and which not to do. The poor heroes who
make a living on radio ads, who are in the background, of which we will never
know their names, these sometimes have no choice but to comply with what is
required as this is their only livelihood.
I admit that should have reflected my annoyance to the advertising company
that made the absurd commercial, but returning to the starting point, it was
the voice that has caused this chain reaction that today I cannot stand hearing the individual in a commercial anywhere.
So if there is something to be learned from all this, it is in daily life
we say things, to family, friends and strangers…
and we are judged each time by the tone
of our voice which may disturb someone
or have a perdurable impact …
