Multimodality, Charisma, Charismatic speech, Voice qualityAbstract
Charisma can be described in terms of semantic pragmatic features related to trustworthiness, motivation, and persuasion. In this paper, we are concerned with the multidimensionality of charismatic speech because it depends on the production of the speaker and the perception of the listener. Our aim, in this study, is to compare the voice quality profiles of two YouTube communicators whose manners of speaking were judged as the most charismatic and the least charismatic in a perceptual test. Minimized Mandibular Range, Minimized Tongue Body Range, Nasality and Interrupted Speech were judged as less charismatic than Extensive Mandibular Range and Fast Speech
