Back when Pauline Frederick was the only woman in TV news, studies showed that viewers preferred authoritative delivery. This, along with societal factors kept women off the air and out of exec jobs. Along with Title IX and Equal Rights Amendment frenzy in the 70s came workshops and college offerings on women’s public speaking. Low and slow.
Interesting to learn of a corporate source of such training, or perhaps The Source.
Let’s never forget that memorable ‘gay’ couple, Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick.
