HEAR THE DIFFERENCE… in you.

Tone can be an elusive ingredient in any communication.
Misused or misplaced, it can destroy any sense of connection.

Tone is everywhere. It is the snapshot and snap judgment of a song, a look, or a feel.

It is also a snap shot of our voice.

In 1/10 of a second our speaking can make an impression.
That's a tiny window. This window sets the tone.

We’re going to explore how to use it.

  • Amplifying one's voice and message can be a challenge in a world with more and more voices vying for dominance. And, doesn't the world need a few more great listeners? This little book helped me to see how important tone is in speaking, listening, and conversing. A must read!

  • The tone we take with others makes all the difference in our relationships to ourselves and others. Marshall offers tiny steps to bring tone into our lives in a meaningful way. Tonal influence blends awareness, intention, and practical action to allow anyone the ability to create their own reality while leaving others touched, moved, and inspired.

  • Marshall Davis Jones is a poet and a friend. We should all learn and listen to his 'sound' advice.

  • Marshall is a rare bread and talented expert in the pursuit of real, meaningful engagement. His innate ability to combine research, body physiology, tone and communication technique is something of magic. As someone who has dedicated the past 30 years to understanding engagement, I am continually inspired and grateful for what Marshall brings to our community to drive better human connection.

  • Each of us has a gorgeous instrument, capable of virtuosic performance, trapped inside our mouths and bodies. Our speaking voice is our constant companion and our primary connection to others, yet how often do you consider it? Unlocking the beauty of our own personal tone doesn't come naturally, like all of the best things it requires cultivation. Marshall Davis Jones is one of the old world masters of this craft, and his incisive and delightful new book will rewire how you think about communication and human connection.

  • Your words matter. How you use them, is as important as what you say. In Tonal Influence, you'll learn to harness your truest embodied voice. Let Marshall Jones share his mojo with you. It will open new doors to your power, presence, and persuasion.

  • Marshall Jones brilliantly and artfully uncovers the pillars of vocal mastery. His book is a must-read for anyone seeking to move an audience and spur others to act.
