Can you hear me now? (Allison et al. 2022) | FT50 JBV VSSER25

#VSSER25 #session4

🎙️ Welcome back to Revise and Resubmit — the podcast where fresh academic research gets a second life outside the ivory tower 🏛️ and into your ears 👂📚

Today, we’re tuning in — literally — to a research paper that might just change the way you hear ambition, hustle, and heart. 🎧❤️‍🔥

🔊 “Can you hear me now? Engendering passion and preparedness perceptions with vocal expressions in crowdfunding pitches” — yep, that’s the title, and it’s not just catchy, it’s cutting-edge.

📢 What if the way you say something matters more than what you say — especially when you're pitching your dream on a shoestring budget?

🎤 In this episode, we dive into the work of Allison, T. H., Warnick, B. J., Davis, B. C., and Cardon, M. S., published in The Journal of Business Venturing — one of the most prestigious journals on the FT50 list 🏆✨ (and yes, that’s kind of a big deal).

🧪 These scholars didn’t just listen to pitches — they dissected vocal tone, measured emotional cues, and revealed a wild insight: high-arousal vocal expressions (think hyped-up enthusiasm or intense urgency) boost how passionate you seem, but there’s a twist... 🤔

⚖️ If your tone is all over the place? Funders might question your preparedness — and that can cost you 💸.

So now the question is...
🎯 Is sounding too excited actually hurting your chances of being taken seriously?

🎉 Big thanks to the brilliant minds behind this research — Allison, Warnick, Davis, and Cardon — and to Elsevier, the powerhouse publisher behind this gem.
