hypnotic speech and voice modulation

http://changingminds.org/techniques/language/modifying_meaning/modulation.htm
"Repetition and modulation is a common element of hypnotic speech. The modulation pulls people in with the impression of something worth listening to, then the repetition sends them into a trance. This can be a deliberate method for public speakers that can be used to lull a whole audience into a suggestible state before the real message is slipped past the weakened cognitive defenses."

Don't know that I believe that, but I do know that I hate the "Conference cadence". Even hated it as a kid.

I'm sure I'm not the only one but I do a kick ass "Confernts talk" impersonation. It's starts with "Seistersssss, it's lovely to see all of yew taday." :-)

I do believe in this concept, as I have seen it work many times. But I don't think that general conference succeeds at all. They succeed with repetition, but without the modulation you just fall asleep.
