Does Sound Affect Communication? A Conversation with David Tyler - Part 1

“Communicating is something at surface level: we're communicating, here's the words, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, go, see it. That's the message, right? But what you want is meaningful interaction. There's a quote in my book, and I could read it for you in a minute, but the idea is to shift from transaction to transformation. I could give you all kinds of data, but it's not going to transform you. It's not going to inspire you to do something different.” – David Tyler This episode's guest is a media and communication coach who's passionate about helping people connect. He believes communication is the key to breaking down barriers, building relationships, and solving problems, whether at work, home, or in life. His mission is to inspire others to communicate with empathy, understanding, and respect while keeping it practical and actionable. He's also a sync music composer and a voice talent widely recognized as the network voice of CTV News in Canada and dozens of other brands worldwide.His name is David Tyler, and what he has to share about communications is particularly important, especially now. If you're looking for ways to make a deeper connection with the people around you, both in business and your life, this is definitely a conversation you'll want to tune into. As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

Both those things really help – and I'd love to feature your review on future podcasts. (0:00:00) - Journey From Music to VoiceoverWe start the conversation off with a look back at David's early memories of sound, and the surprising comfort he found in the sound of thunder as a child. “As the storm was coming,” he recalls, “the wind started pushing into the house and as it was going, the wind would be gushing out, but I would hear that sound of thunder, and that is the answer to your question. That sound of thunder, you know, to me means safety.” He tells us about his start in music, and what inspired his career in radio. “We were writing songs and stuff and my music teacher at the time,” he says, “had these things on the wall. It says careers that you could do as a musician and one of them was radio DJ. So that's when I started to think maybe that would be a way to still use my love of music, but make a sort of living.”(0:14:43) - The Role of Brand VoiceOur discussion turns toward voice branding and “signature” voices, such as David's work as the voice of CTV News over the past fourteen years. “In the old days, there were guys, [and] fewer women now that I think about it, but there were people who were signature voices, and when you got that signature voice to be the voice of your brand, it was a major coup.” We talk about such iconic signature voices as Mason Adams as the voice of Schmuckers and James Earl Jones as the voice of CNN, and David shares his seven “colors” of the voice. “I think most voice teachers only teach four,” he explains, “but I teach seven and I'll go through them quick. These are the colors of the voice: pitch, pace, prosody, timbre, and tone, which are often confused together, volume. And the best one is silence.”(0:24:14) - The Art of Transformative CommunicationThe first...

Well, that brings our look at the launch of The CBS Radio Mystery Theater to a close. We've spent the past five months making our way forward in time from 1957, to 1963, to 1973, and finally 1974. But, next month on Breaking Walls we'll head back to the middle of radio's golden age and focus on one of the most successful comedians of all-time. Next time on Breaking Walls, it's February of 1944 and between entertaining troops, smashing box office numbers, and notoriously carousing, the man jokingly referred to by friend Bing Crosby as “ol trowel nose,” Bob Hope, is radio's top comedian. For the first time in six years of Breaking Walls episodes, we'll focus on the man who always reminded us to say, thanks for the memories.

Dimension X was first heard on NBC April 8, 1950, and ran until September 29, 1951. Strange that so little good science fiction came out of radio; they seem ideally compatible, both relying heavily on imagination. Some fine isolated science fiction stories were developed on the great anthology shows, Suspense and Escape. But until the premiere of Dimension X -- a full two decades after network radio was established -- there were no major science fiction series of broad appeal to adults. This show dramatized the work of such young writers as Ray Bradbury, Robert (Psycho) Bloch, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and Kurt Vonnegut. In-house script writer was Ernest Kinoy, who adapted the master works and contributed occasional storied of his own. Dimension X was a very effective demonstration of what could be done with science fiction on the air. It came so late that nobody cared, but some of the stories stand as classics of the medium. Bradbury's "Mars Is Heaven" is as gripping today as when first heard. His "Martian Chronicles" was one of the series' most impressive offerings. Dimension X played heavily on an "adventures in time and space, told in future tense" theme. Actors who worked regularly on the show included Joe Di Santis, Wendell Holmes, Santos Ortega, Joseph Julian, Jan Miner, Roger De Koven, John Gibson, Ralph Bell, John Larkin, Les Damon, and Mason Adams. It was directed by Fred Weihe and Edward King. The deep-voiced narrator was Norman Rose. The series played heavily on the "X" factor in the title, as did X Minus One a few years later. The signature was boomed out of and echo chamber as "DIMENSION X X X X X x x x x x . . . "

This week, we're airing an encore episode of Inside Appalachia. We'll meet a man who makes wooden turkey calls, not ordinary turkey calls. Painter Brian Aliff doesn't call himself an artist, but he intricately paints his turkey calls, which are now collectors' items. We'll also meet people who make wooden paddles by hand and custom-decorate each one, and a man who repairs cuckoo clocks. Finally, we'll travel to some of the most beautiful spots in Appalachia to find wildflowers, like Dolly Sods and the Canaan Valley of West Virginia. And we wonder -- are these areas becoming too popular? Those stories and more this week Inside Appalachia.  Welder Keeps Old Clocks Ticking When you need to check the time, where do you look? Most people turn to their phones or digital watches. These days, it seems like every electronic device has a clock function in addition to whatever it's supposed to do, but it hasn't always been this way. Not all that long ago, marking the passage of time was the job of one device — a clock. Folkways reporter Zack Harold spent some time with Carl Witt, a man in Fairview, West Virginia who learned how to repair clocks after crossing paths with the late Charles Decker. Witt, a welder at the time, decided to retire and went on to start his own clock repair business — Curiosity Clockworks.  Dolly Sods Hosts Wildflower Pilgrimage Dolly Sods is federally protected public land — full of rocky ridges, soggy bogs and beautiful views. It's also the site of an annual nature walk called the West Virginia Wildflower Pilgrimage. This weekend will be the 60th time that wildflower and birding experts descend on the area for the event. Inside Appalachia co-host Mason Adams made the pilgrimage from his home in Floyd County, Virginia to Dolly Sods last year for the pilgrimage. Paddlers Design Their Own Gear Appalachia has several huge rivers: the Gauley, the Youghiogheny and the New River, just to name a few. Whitewater paddling is popular in the region, but it wasn't that long ago modern paddlers first started exploring these rivers, designing their own gear and even building their own paddles. Some of those DIY paddle makers are now master crafters and their work is in high demand. As part of our Inside Appalachia Folkways Project, Clara Haizlett learned more. Handmade Turkey Calls Like many Appalachian traditions, turkey calls go way back. Historically, they've been used as a hunting tool, but one West Virginia artist has taken it to the next level. Brian Aliff makes hand-crafted, prize-winning decorative turkey calls. These pieces are functional and they're becoming collector's items, but it took a while for Aliff to think of himself as an artist. Hear Folkways reporter Connie Kitts talk with Aliff on this week's episode. Increase In Tourism Puts Strain On Local Infrastructure Tucker County, West Virginia, has seen a surge of new visitors from Washington, D.C. in the years since U.S. Route 48, also known as Corridor H, opened.  The growing number of visitors is good for business, but it's also straining the resources of a county with just one stoplight and 7,000 year-round residents. Mason Adams visited the towns of Thomas and Davis in Tucker County, West Virginia and has this story about managing growth and resources against the backdrop of expansive natural beauty.
