That is to say,
how
we say something is more important than that

Thus, we can influence whether or not our speech will be well received.
We just always have to pay close attention to how we speak.
This applies to our body language as well.
It must be authentic and fit with our personality.
The voice also plays a role, because it is always assessed too.
With men, for example, a deeper voice is advantageous.
It makes the speaker appear confident and competent.
On the other hand, a variation of voice has no effect.
Particularly important however, is speed when speaking.
The success of conversations was examined in experiments.
Successful speaking means being able to persuade others.
He who wants to persuade others must not speak too quickly.
Otherwise he gives the impression that he is not sincere.
But speaking too slowly is also unfavorable.
People who speak very slowly come across as unintelligent.
Therefore, it's best to speak with average speed.
3.5 words per second is ideal.
Pauses are also important in speaking.
They make our speech more natural and believable.
As a consequence, listeners trust us.
4 or 5 pauses per minute are ideal.
So just try to control your speech better!
