David Price explains that confidence doesn't require a loud voice. Respected speakers project gravitas by speaking at normal volume, slowing down, and using pauses. This measured delivery creates presence without volume.

Hello, David Price here, the short guy who helps you walk tall. This is confidence tip number 36, and that is strong voices aren't always loud voices. Have you ever been in a meeting where a person who has gravitas, has presence, everyone knows and respects them, they speak, but they don't speak loudly? They don't speak softly enough for people not to be able to hear them. But they don't speak loudly. A lot of people who don't have confidence think they need to be loud to be confident, and you don't. Speak in a normal voice, speak slowly, pause a lot, and you'll come across as confident.
