What Is Gravitas?

Gravitas comes from the Latin word ‘gravis’ meaning heaviness or weight. This is where the word ‘gravity’ comes from.

It’s been used in the world of business to describe a whole raft of qualities; confidence, poise, professionalism, respectability, executive presence.

But how does this relate to the voice?

As an executive voice coach, having worked 1-1 with 1000’s of clients globally, I know from experience that there has to be a balance when it comes to speaking with gravitas.

So, what does a voice with gravitas sound like? It’s a balance between:

– Authority & Authenticity
– Weight & Energy
– Confidence & Warmth

In short, being engaging and inspiring.

Is this teachable? Absolutely.

If you can master the science of the voice and vocal variety then you will be well on your way to being an engaging and inspiring communicator.
