Alise Isbell Discusses Upspeak

Communication expert, Alise Isbell, discusses the consequences of a bad habit called upspeak. In the English language, our pitch goes down at the end of sentences, unless we are asking a question. Always lilting the pitch up at the ends of words or sentences sounds like we are constantly questioning. Upspeak makes people seem unsure, less confident or sound dumb. When someone with expertise uses upspeak, it sends a mixed message to the listener. The audience knows the speaker is well educated, experienced and professional, but they don’t sound like it.
