14.People can't see you when you're speaking on the phone,but they can hear you.So,the way you speak is especially important.In fact,researchers have calculated that 80% of communication over the phone is through your tone of voice,and only 20% is from the words you use.Here are out top tips on how to speak over the phone. Facial Expressions Your facial expression can influence your voice.For example,if you smile,your voice will sound warm and friendly,just the opposite,if you have an angry look on your face,it can make you sound unpleasant. Volume If you speak too loudly,you could sound angry.And if you speak too softly,it'll be difficult to hear you.So,speak loudly enough to be heard clearly,but not so loud that you're shouting.

Pauses(停頓) Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down.This will make you sound more confident and in control.Also,if you pause after giving some new information,it'll give the other person time to understand it.At the same time,listen to how the other person uses pauses.They could tell you something about the speaker's feeling.For example,when a speaker is really angry,he might uses pauses and says, "I...am...so...angry."
