How the message is delivered, paraverbal (voice language) is also an essential component of the communication process, which can include:

• Tone/pitch (e.g., monotonous or emphasis on a certain word),
• Speed/pace (e.g., fast, slow),
• Volume (e.g., loud, soft).

Suffice to say, nonverbal and paraverbal communication significantly influences the communication process and your career trajectory, despite the uncertainty of the 7% Rule.
