When something becomes predictable, we stop paying attention. When a speaker’s tone of voice or vocal rhythms aren’t unexpected, they sound like they know what’s coming next. When that happens, we don’t expect any surprises to look forward to and we stop paying attention.
Now imagine a speaker who is impulsive and almost sounds surprised by what’s coming out of their mouth.
Being unpredictable is dangerous. When someone is dangerous, people pay attention to them, because they don’t know what’s coming next. When people pay attention to you, you have them in your presence, right here, right now.
And that is compelling speaking.
