Badly narrated.
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
No one. The narrators voice is uninspiring, his intonation is all over the place, and there are extended pauses in the audio which should have been edited out. This is inexcusable for a book concerned with improving communication skills as it makes for very uncomfortable listening. If anything, this an example of how NOT to communicate.
What could Ian Tuhovsky have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Chosen a better narrator. I also found the style of writing to be clumsy and at times plain weird - possibly because the book has been translated.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
He ruined it.
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
None.
Any additional comments?
Having listened to many audio books this is very amateurish and to be avoided. I am surprised Audible sell it. The high scoring reviews for this audio book raise questions as to their authenticity.

Great book!
I listened to this book few months ago, and I have just finished to listened it again. I find this book very interesting, some useful and practical tips, like how to remember names of people you just met, or the approach for networking.
I also find very pragmatic the summary of the principles to deliver a great presentation, I think I will listen to that particular chapter before preparing for an important presentation.
The book doesn't talk about new principles or anything that anyone has not heard before, however, the way how are presented makes the principles and the approach easy to remember, and can be put in practice in everyday life.

Narrator is terrible, book is above average
I liked some of the content in the book but it's nothing spectacular after reading it twice and listening once.
I bought both the Kindle ebook and the audiobook for Whispersync. However, the narrator has the same lazy tone throughout as if he just got out of bed with a cold and is reading it for the first time. He seems to make up the words as he goes along in places and keeps adding in silly filler words and says things backwards that is quite annoying.
The book does have a couple of good sections such as Chapter 18 Eye Accessing Cues. Would never listen to this narrator again though - sounded so terrible.

No ground breaking new info in this book
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The book is of to a good start, but it gets a little borring when the writer goes of into how wonderfull NLP is and goes on with NLP principles for a couple of chapters. I would have loved if the first hour was the benchmark because the rest felt like the writer was just telling you about different approaches from different areas.
Would you recommend Communication Skills Training to your friends? Why or why not?
If you new in the field this migth be good. If so buy the paper book, because there is ALOT of pulletpoint reading and it doesn't work in a audiobook
What three words best describe Wendell Wadsworth’s performance?
Good voice and good speed.
Was Communication Skills Training worth the listening time?

Very useful book
This book is a concentrate of many self-development books I have read. It contained some of the most helpful ideas and tips I have come across. The pace of the reader makes it easier to follow the content read.
