Nah not everyone lol but some do and its annoying as shit, not too mention this dude is australian
He also changed the pace at which he spoke. Which i believe helped to stabilize the conviction in his voice as he sounds more relaxed. Speaking faster adds a bit of a nervous tone to his voice.
Here’s a list of many other changes he made to his speech presentation that he didn’t tell us about (these changes tamper with the validity of the pitch experiment):
He changed how direct his hand gestures were in the lower version.
He annunciated certain words more in the lower speaking to draw attention to his main points.
He also changed how confident he was in terms of eye contact in the lower version.
He didn’t include the usage of “uh” in the lower pitch speaking but did include it in his higher pitch speaking.
“Uh” makes people appear more unsure of what they’re trying to convey.
He smiled less in the lower version to showcase his levels of determination, professionally and how serious he is about the goal he is setting.
@@MrMelonsz very nice analysis
Depends, as an American there's a power called "overtalk" you can say too much yes, but that's not what I mean. If you speak fast and enunciate clearly, you can steamroll anyone who tries to interrupt you. You absolutely have to know exactly what you are talking about, and have the hardest hitting facts, or else it does not work.
Life lesson: Know your sh*t.

@@gurumaster342not if we can help it dear.
You can just taste it more when it's cold and crisp, but sometimes it depends on the beverage.
While ending on a lower pitch adds gravitas to your tone, I do think that ending on a higher pitch can convey a sense of excitement and enthusiasm in the right situation. So, you don't always have to end on the lower pitch.
Facts
Plus we know how depressed Americans are compared to Australians so why not add some fun in our voices and take after them
@@Alexa-bp8rm… sir this is about public speaking/ business communication. It has nothing to do with emotion. And maybe not your intention but that sounds like a “oh you’re depressed? Why don’t you cheer up!” Kind of thinking that an inflection in your voice has anything to do with that stuff. I meant for this to be written and read in a “sir this is a Wendy’s” type of way but I can tell I lost it. Carry on.
No. It conveys uncertainty, not enthusiasm, in the larger culture. Locally, you might be right. But if you speak with people from farther away, or especially people from other countries, uptalk will make you sound wimpy at best and incompetent at worst.
The difference between good and great communication and knowing when to use different techniques of communication.
"even when they're not!"
ESPECIALLY when they're not
I use a higher pitch after my sentences if I want a person to feel that they're learning or experiencing something WITH me.
I use a lower pitch if I'm very instructive or descriptive. This is to assert confidence.
Can you explain a little deeper?
Like saying "right?" after every sentence, right?
Sounds very accurate, communication is contextual.
British newscasters are the KINGS of ending on lower pitch lmao
English newscasters love to...pause their sentences quite a lot...for no reason. They also get bored of the end of the sentence their saying, and drag, it out, like this, for some........reasonnnn
@@BigJozethey drag it out because they’re reading the next part of their script.

@@BigJozenot no reason. The accent they were taught probably had them do it
And it's so obnoxious
In my speech class I was taught to alternate between ending on a high or low pitch because it prevents your speeches from sounding boring. I think the aim is to keep the audience engaged.
I agree with this video, but having variety in your tonality is so good too. Both are excellent approaches!
Variety isn't just about alternating at random or in a predictable way. That still leads to boredom, if not confusion.
You should choose how you say things based on what you're saying and how you wish for it to be conveyed.
huh?? You were taught to alternate? What a horrible advice. It has to be all within context of what the sentence is about. Thats why he said "if you KEEP ending your sentence in a higher pitch", he never said always end in lower pitch.
100%@@9nikolai
@@mn8931I don't think by alternate he means one after the other again and again, or randomly, to me it was implied that it depends on the contexte
This is an incredible example of also understanding who your audience is. I'm an executive assistant who talks to people all around the world. Australia does have that inflection at the end of their sentences. America does not. And still in confidence in them means I have to talk in my mind a little bit like a valley girl. But it works for them. Communication language is not easy
“Even when they’re not”
But we are. Always. That’s why we say it like that.
Hahaha no, Americans try to sell themselves even when they aren’t the most qualified because they’ve been told that they are special their whole lives
MURICA
Haha. That must be with a lower pitch as well
I've always noticed that Australians end their sentences on a high pitch. It's one of the reasons why I liked their accent but I couldn't put it into words so thanks for that. i also didn't know it was a bad thing. I always felt like it made their accent more beautiful and somewhat charming. Crazy how your videos open up my mind to specifics in communication skills that I would never imagine exist.
Happy to help !
I think there’s a difference between sounding charming and sounding confident :)
You can make a lot of friends with an Australian accent! but it’s also best to learn how to end lower as well if you want to sound competent in a formal environment
nothing wrong with it i think it more has to do with if you’re speaking publicly or especially sales
Even most Americans are "singing" at the end of the sentence. Really annoying.
I guess high gives a more approachable, less dominating appearance, while low gives a more dominating and less approachable.
Think about anime and cartoons, the serious characters that take charge usually have a deeper voice or when a goofy character gets serious, their voice drops. While when they want to portray a more lighthearted, bubbly character, or a character acting silly they go for high pitched.
Honestly the higher pitch sounds friendly and exciting and the lower pitch sounds calming and reassuring. Both are great in their own way.
Higher pitch sounds like a question and makes the listener feel like the speaker either doesn’t know or assume the listener is dumb and can’t understand.
@@TheBeefSlayerNope, doesn't sound like that to me. Maybe it would sound like that to someone who's not used to it.
@@hyalophora I hear plenty of it. It’s a fact that in USA it sounds like a question. There is even a movie about it.

I used to up talk but my dad helped me with it and it does make you sound more respectable
Puts a sense of finality in your voice. When you do this it makes you sound confident that you have finished your sentence. The confidence you show by doing this makes people more interested in listening to you.
You can easily finish off a sentence if you’re ending your sentences off with a high pitch. It’s got a lot more to do with how you structure your sentences than how you sound pronouncing them. The way you annunciate words only really has an impact on your initial conversation/pitch with someone. Beyond that a well formed sentence will get you a lot further than ending a sentence on a lower pitch to sound more dominant and confident.
@@Cal.18any tips on how to improve sentence structure?
Bro higher or lower pitch make no difference only thing is make different is accent
@@Cal.18 ok you’re right on that. Sentence structure is more important than tone. But this is how tone can impact how people can react to your speech, infinitesimal as the change is
It’s very annoying that I don’t see this much in public. Especially when working at McDonald’s, it prevents me from knowing when they’re done with their side of the conversation, so I have to guess when they’re done to try and talk

In Finland, we end our monotonic speech with no pitch and the other people think there is something wrong with us, especially when they don't know are we serious or not. 😁

Can confirm as a fellow finn.
"Say it with confidence and people will believe you" basically what this is
That is the goal of marketing, which is the reason the majority of attendees are likely there
I use exactly this to portray uncertainty or disbelief lol. "So, you want me to do this?" versus "so you want me to do this."
That’s because it makes every sentence sound like a Question rather than a Statement! 😊😄😁
The biggest speaking lesson I can share is to learn the power of the pause. It can emphasize Soo much. It also gives people a chance to catch up and others who were waiting to want to see why you stopped.
And for you to think about what to say next and prepare better speech.
Also a pause signifies confidence you won't get interrupted. If they try to interrupt on pause, raise your hand to signal wait, i'm not finished
Damn that editing
That's art right there
cleanest edit ive seen in a short
fr cuzzoh was the whole flash n the pan there for a sec
Finally someone says this. I've tried to share this with college students...explaining that it makes them sound uncertain, and as if they are asking for approval of every statement they make ....as if it's a question.
So undermining of their position.
Hope all who do this learn and stop it.
As an American, I can agree with the, “Even when there not…”
"If you can't enthrall them with excellence, bewilder them with bullshit."
I cant remember his name, but this was the advice given by my public speaking prof and I remember it to this day.
“If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.”

“Even when they’re not”
No truer fact has been spoken 😂
You probly are born in the US and resent real americans because you arent one, so you express your anger by posting crap like this on the internet.
Im american and i naturally gravitate to ending my sentences on an upward pitch. I sat here and tried out ending on a lower tone and WOW my mind is blown. I need to practice this and start applying it to normal conversation.
Itll change your life man. It also sounds alot more manly and confident.
GLad to see someone is addressing this issue because more and more people are using the high pitch to end their statements making them sound like a question. And more and more are speaking in a Sing Song pattern - both are difficult to tolerate.
In America, we have a very common flow of this, which is opening low pitch, neutral pitch mid, second to last sentence high pitch, last sentence low pitch.
I always pointed this out with even some British people as well. Honestly I love these accents so much. No one knew what I was talking about when I said that their voices usually go at a higher pitch at the end of their sentences. Everyone acted like I was crazy, but I could always hear it. I think it’s such a beautiful accent
The only Brits that end a sentence on a high pitch are Brits who are asking a question.
@@meghanh2511Scousers usually end with a high pitch

@@MrSlowrolla
Interesting because as a native Hungarian speaker I specifically remember when they taught us in elementary that you should lower your voice at the end of the sentence so that it's clear where the end is.
I guess it gives a sense of certainty and firmness.
they taught us that cuz in hungarian grammar everything could be a question cuz we do not have a set word order
I'm actually learning Hungarian now as a foreigner, I asked that question yo my teachers and they told me what you said,
Hungarian places a higher emphasis on tonality compared to other languages I know a statement could be a question depending on the tone, so I'm training myself to look for that, I find Hungarian very interesting a beautiful language

I’m American and end on a high pitch. I fear coming off as mean or grumpy and that’s why I do it.
As a public speaker and MC, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS I’VE LEARNED
Great notice for the pitches. A high pitch can be great for peaking interest while ending low makes you sound confident.
high pitch ends like sounding norwegian as their ending is like ski jump.
Had to watch this like 10 times, I can confidently say I still cant tell the difference.
Canadians going super high pitch and then low at the very end automatically
I did feel much more interested with the higher pitch. It made him seem much more excited and passionate about the subject, as well as making him look much friendlier
Uptalk is as important as ending your sentences on a low pitch, just don't do it too often.
He didn’t change the ending, he changed his entire pitch.
Try it for yourself
Ending on a lower pitch (for me) helps mark when they’re ending a sentence or about to start a new one. High pitch endings make it seem like there’s more to the sentence, or they’re not done talking
We are the best at everything we do even when we’re not is one of the funnier descriptions of America I’ve heard
Lol this is true. As an American Woman, this is learned when we get older for most women because as girls, we do the same thing to signify that we're nice and non-threatening. I learned this when I started working with men.
Yeah, it's important to point out gender differences when talking about speech skills. His heart's in the right place, but his tips are a great way for women or people who are perceived as women to come off as combative and threatening to men. They think we're trying to start an argument and need to be put in our place, even if we're trying to be friendly or conversational.
I’m a tall and big straight male fighter and I do this. Just to offer some contrast here. I also choose to talk in my higher octave vocal range, not too high but very different to the guys who try to sound tough and talk deep. The higher octave out of the 2 that I can easily access is more welcoming and friendly. If you hear a super deep voice from a male it genuinely is somewhat forced, after some time it stops becoming forced but at some point they chose to exercise that lower octave once they got access to it from puberty, it could be from being self conscious or just wanting to seem intimidating or I guess to sound more manly, I was never worried about that. I can voice act and go very deep if I want to so the capability is there but our voices manifest themselves and provide some insight to our true personality. I’m not going to change it for anybody. Of course if I’m disrespected it goes out the window, (ending sentences upward) but I won’t change being welcoming loving and nice to people through actions and my voice unless it’s in a business setting and I need the sale.
"They think we're trying to start an argument and need to be put in our place, even if we're trying to be friendly or conversational." Not all men want to "put a woman in her place" sounds like you're attracting the wrong types of men to you.@@chrisashtonlightell-west1189
Depends on the culture I'm the area. Some offices care how confident or how much conviction you have. Some care less. Some men don't like this and other men and women in the office talk deeper and rough em up a bit. In terms of competitiveness, men are overtly competitive to other men as well. Some offices are competitive and antagonistic by default.
@@chrisashtonlightell-west1189 I never thought about this but I can personally say I only look to the word choice and my perception of their immediate intention to determine how someone is treating me.
I can say however I’m gonna try to recognize if I have that kind of initial perception/reaction to this kind of speech pattern from women/ a woman. I like to think I do not and I’d hope and feel like I believe that other men can think logically in that way too. A very interesting topic and point that you brought up here. Definitely worth consideration and thought

I always wondered why Australians sound so upbeat and positive
Aussie living in the US here; and something about that high pitch inflection that we (unconsciously) love to add seems to give me super powers here! The Americans love my accent, it’s not common where I live, so it gives a 0.5% understanding of being a celebrity! People get silly around me, but the best part is how more often than not, people are so nice/ helpful to me! I’m convinced it’s because of my accent and my higher pitch ❤ (also, I like to think I am a decent/nice person, I’m sure that helps too😊).
Americans are just generally nice/helpful people brother, despite what you may have heard.
Also, welcome home.
Agreed... That high pitch feels like a question rather than the declaration it is. Interesting stuff.
The uptalk at the end communicates a question to people, so it makes it feel like everything youre saying is uncertain
I believe the key is the combination of high and low end-pitches.
Canadians do this high pitch thing and it’s how I navigate conversations with them. They go up in pitch at the end of every sentence like it’s a question. Then when they finally go down in their pitch, that means it’s your turn to talk.
Mike Myers did that bit too
do we??
If Australians, Canadians or New Zealanders start ending on a low pitch then you know it's time to stop messing with them. They're lovely friendly peoples until they start ending sentences with a low pitch.
Being an American myself, believe me when i say we'll still trust your conviction and authority because you have an accent, and we find that neat lol.

Amazing advice - my mother always reminded me when I was younger to not uptalk. I sound much more confident when I give presentations now just from that small change.
Ending on uptalk makes you sound like you don't believe your own statement, and you are seeking validation from your audience. It makes people subconsciously not take you seriously as a reliable source of information.
@@carultch Exactly. Especially when you're giving a presentation in school or at work, if you sound confident in what you're saying, even if you aren't exactly certain, people will listen to you and trust you a lot more.

Thanks for this video. I was never aware about the pitching ending. Now it's just stuck in my head...the high pitch that is.
moral of the story: ending with a low pitch turns you into tom scott
Oh, he's the master of engaging audiences with a low pitch

Its not a crazy difference, its a subtle difference that most wouldnt notice but it makes a crazy impact.
They do it in New Zealand too. One of my coworkers is from there and it’s how they talk. Granted, I’ve just had casual conversations, haven’t seen them in sales pitches or anything where they had to show authority
I think the humility you speak of is better than an overbearing tone that at its base comes from a manipulative place. Talking to me this way in recent years has tought me to double check the work as half the times someone's talking out thier ass. With the higher inflection it's open to questions and even when your wrong feels like I can engage with a higher tone over the guy trying to be confident.
The true difference between good and great communication, is knowing when to use both... Its not about being humble, its about being open and fun when you should, and being authoritative and commanding when you should.
You're not asking a question. You're making a statement.
there is an endearing quality about higher pitching, less determination and control can be comforting but not necessarily convincing
Sorry I’m late but yeah this always happens,in primary my teacher always told us “high for humble and nice.low for power,authority to put on a show”
Love in Sydney 🇦🇺and NZ 🇳🇿
And when you mix the two it shows humbleness but also control, knowledge and confidence in the subject
I think the main gripe I have w ending sentences in a high pitch is that ppl tend to make it sound like they're going to keep talking, and they don't. One of my fav teachers was a history teacher in high school. He said talking is like a roller coaster. There are times where you need to bring your voice up, times to let it down. Times to make the audience anticipate, and times to let things simmer.
High pitch reminds me of a cruise ship worker trying to convince me of something that i don't truat they would so themselves. Lower pitch slower candence is deliberate. Hearing lower pitched voices helps you to read people better. Never know if its a conman or a genuine offer of knowledge.
First one sounds like a question and the second sounds like your getting scolded by a teacher
I noticed this about the way Australians speak some time ago, but I’ve never heard this tendency explained before. Very interesting.
Ending on an higher pitch make you sound nervous. Ending on a lower pitch makes you sound unbothered.
Especially in songs when they're singing and end on an awkward high pitch it makes it feel like the song isn't complete

Yea I would be salty too if my country was a hundred years behind America in technology. You know the “UFOs” that fighter pilots have been seeing on their radar? The ones that seem to defy the laws of physics? The ones that hover, then break the sound barrier within a fraction of a second, then go straight into the ocean? That’s US military tech. Maybe some day the rest of the world will send a man to the moon. By then the US will probably have already colonized Mars.
Stay salty. And you’re welcome for moving mankind forward. Make sure to thank an American next time you see one. 👍
It is also about the pace at which you speak. When he went into higher pitch he also startes talking faster. That increases the effect he talked about even more. Talking slower makes you seem calm and not in a rush to get to the end of your talk.
It's the most annoying habit when people do that. So nicely put out there. Lower pitch all the way
Yo I actually needed this I've been learning to speak more authoritatively and not shrink.
Now I notice that my mother does the low-at-end thing. She is a very good speaker! Sometimes, my relatives would stay up till 4am to listen to her. It makes you feel like you are into something.
When I was a patient in Maryland, most of them spoke like they were asking questions.
Remember that just like other countries, there are many areas that have their unique accents. So not every American ends their sentences on a downward slope.
Also, when you spoke, it wasn’t just the ending that changed. You spoke the entire first sentence with a higher voice than the second sentence with a low voice. Most words you spoke began medium and ended high in the first example. In the second, you spoke most words from medium to low. Go back and listen.
But you are making some very interesting points. Thank you.
i had the reverse impression on this video. im gonna high pitch everything now
Very interesting! It’s amazing how something so small can make a huge difference! I’ll try it
I’m pretty sure Americans think high pitch sounds condescending. Like “baby talk”.
No, we typically reserve high pitch endings for questions, so when always ended like that it just ends up sounding like they aren’t confident in a word they’re saying.
No we dont
As an Aussie, I trusted the lower pitch way less 😂
I personally prefer uptalk. Because for me a low pitch end is associated with conmen trying to be respected. Where uptalk is associated with a more relatable genuine speaker trying their best.
In a roundabout way, trying to be seen as respectable makes you seem unrespectable.
im attending community college and i often give this advice out to other students who have that issue when they do presentations or speeches, and every time they end up sounding far better for it. wish i had the thought to tell people that in highschool because most of the students there have this sort of "computer generated voice" syndrome, and getting rid of uptalk is really half of the fix to the problem
