Nothing Lost in Translation: Japanese Edition of Voice-Training Book

“The trade secrets in Voice Power apply universally, whether you speak Japanese, English or Urdu,” said Grant-Williams, a leading voice coach and communication skills expert. “From client meetings to interactions with co-workers and important telephone conversations, often it’s not just what you say, but how you say it that makes the difference. There are no language barriers when it comes to the basic voice-training techniques I offer in Voice Power.”

“A lot of Japanese business people would like to improve their ability for speeches and negotiations,” said Madoka Asakawa with publisher Diamond, Inc., emphasizing the high level of interest in Voice Power from business leaders, sales representatives and consultants in Japan.

“The Japanese are savvy business people,” says Grant-Williams. “They seem to see an opportunity in this Japanese translation of Voice Power to enhance the effectiveness of their already-successful business transactions.”
“Your voice is an immensely powerful tool if you use it properly,” says Grant-Williams. “In today’s competitive, global business climate, the difference between people simply hearing your thoughts and actually remembering and acting on them, is the result of having a dynamic, evocative voice – one that ensnares the listener the way a Broadway star would captivate an audience.”

The Japanese edition of Voice Power: Using Your Voice to Captivate, Persuade, and Command Attention is published by Diamond, Inc. and may be ordered from Amazon.co.jp. The English edition is published by AMACOM Books, New York and is available on Amazon.com and at leading book stores.

Voice Power: Using Your Voice to Captivate, Persuade, and Command Attention was selected by “Soundview Executive Book Summaries” as one of the best business books of 2002 and endorsed by Paul Harvey.
