Most folks in the music profession know that there are tricks of the trade when recording music to lay down multiple tracks, which make it sound like the drummers or guitarists are abundantly talented, and able to do things that are nearly physically impossible. Well, did you know that often politicians' speeches at certain points have been modified to do the same thing? In doing so you will note a slight rattle in the voice of the politician when they are speaking about a very passionate topic.
Interestingly enough this triggers certain brainwaves in the listeners to become more attentive. This is because when someone is very passionate about something, people tend to listen. And when people believe in something very seriously with all their heart and soul, they exhibit naturally, this slight rattle in their voice. If you listen very carefully you will hear it. If you are not cognizant of this fact, it may go right by you, but that doesn't mean your mind will not be affected by it.
Voice reverberations and multi track Speech Modification for Politicians is a very valuable and powerful tool. Unfortunately it's been totally abused by some of the top politicians in the country. Those who work behind the scenes and do the modifications on the audio files know exactly what they're doing, "they know good and well" how powerful these techniques can be and the effect that they will have. This is of course why they use them.
In a way, it's similar to the challenges previously with subliminal advertising, which as you know has previously been banned. If and when folks wake up and realize what's being done, it is hard to say if they will request or demand that these tactics stop.
It does give a politician the unfair vantage, but I imagine in the future all politicians will use by using this audio trick. So, therefore there will not be an advantage. However there is a problem with this in that the candidate becomes more believable, even when they are lying, which politicians often do to get elected, and therefore it has an effect on the voting public, and it changes the way they vote and will give them false hope for change.
Not because the candidate is great, or lousy, but rather how the information was presented using psychological tricks of neurological function. If this doesn't concern you as much as it concerns me, then forget I mentioned it. But I see this as a problem in our future, and I already know of one candidate which used this strategy to get elected, and I noted this technique done on several of his speeches.
If a candidate is that great, they can stand on their own merit, they do need not to use trickery. I believe these techniques are unacceptable, and they will be abused in the future. Please consider all this and think on it.
