Anger Tip # 15- Put a Smile In Your Voice
Forty-eight year old Charles had been employed at a local art institute for 35 years and considered a valued staff member. However, he was in danger of losing his job because of his” voice tone.” Turns out, he was reported to HR (human resources) of his company because he was seen as “yelling” at a security guard who was from a different culture. For his part, Charles hardly remembered the incident, denied he was even angry, and said he had no ill-feelings toward the security guard.
As this case illustrates, you may come across as angry to others even though you may not actually be feeling the emotion of anger at the time. This can occur in the workplace, at home, or in any setting where other people are in a position to interpret or experience your behavior.
Another possibility, of course, is that you may indeed be angry, but for some reason, you are not aware of how angry you actually are. (You are irritated, angry, or upset, but don’t realize it, or you don’t want to admit it)
Either way, it may be important for you to be more aware of how you are coming across to others. Start with your voice tone. Is it heard as friendly or threatening? Is it heard as intimidating? Pleasant or irritated? Is it loud to the extent it could be mis-interpreted?
Your voice tone communicates much about your emotions. Being more aware of how it is affecting other people is an important step in managing anger and also in becoming a more effective person. Try putting a “smile” in your voice and see if people don’t see you as less angry—and respond to you accordingly.
