Smile with your voice..!

Many, many years ago when FM first came into my city, crowds gathered outside the radio station after a particular program. The reason? They all wanted to have a glimpse of the girl who hosted the show. "She must be so beautiful!" they said to each other as they jostled one another to have a look of this beauty queen. They were so busy trying to find her they hardly noticed a wisp of a girl, ordinary and hardly very attractive, making her way out through the gates. They didn't know she was the one, who with her voice enchanted her listeners day after day. I knew her well. "How d'you do it?" I asked her once.
"I smile with my voice!" she told me.
"You do what?" I asked puzzled
"Bob," she said, "just say, 'How d'you do?' the way you normally do. Now stretch a smile across your face, no Bob, not a grimace, a nice happy, pleasant smile and say the same words. There's a big difference isn't there? You feel like stretching across and hugging me! That's what happens when you smile with your voice. You become different: A difference Bob that's helped me up the ladder of success!"
After that little talk I've realized how important voice is for any sort of communication; email and cell messaging won't ever achieve what a smiling voice does.
I don't know what your job is, but lets pretend for a few moments you're either an executive or a businessman, shall we? Okay Mr Hotshot you need to make an appointment to meet Mr Bigger Hotshot. You pick up the phone, dial Mr Bigger Hotshot's number and with your best foot forward and tongue stiffly in place tell his secretary who you are.
"Who?" she growls and you fumble, flounder and become flustered. "Who?" she snarls again, and before she can put the phone down, you squeak out your name. "Mr Bigger Hotshot is busy," she says and cuts you off.
Ah Mr Hotshot! Let's give it another try. Give the 'smile in your voice' theory a try. Smile as you call. Smile as you dial. That's just not enough, not enough at all! Grin; a happy smile, yes that's it, a nice whammy of a stretcher! Now speak to her, yes that same hag, that witch who cut you off. Put a smile in your words. Let her feel your lips stretching out to bursting point. She's listening! She feels your attitude, senses your joy, there's a feel good factor at work my friend. You ask for her boss and she puts you through. Just like that, and if she doesn't do so at once it's because she wants to feel your warmth a few moments more!
A smile in your voice always works.
And here's something more. There's a small bonus after you use such voice: You start feeling good. You begin to feel a deep sense of happiness, a pervading sensation of peace and contentment. There's a spring in your step and lightness in your walk. There's joy in your heart!
A smiling voice makes a smiling you..!
