The Speech styles used by female and male guests on The 20 Under 20 Podcast

This study explores the use of speech styles by the two of the guests in two podcast episode series released by Raymond Chin. The videos analyzed are titled “Omzet 3.5m per Bulan di Umur 19 Tahun?! Ft. Faiz- 20 Under 20 Episode 11”, the male guest and “Bisnis Ratusan Juta Dulunya Di Cap “Gabakal Sukses” ft. Eva Alicia- 20 Under 20 Episode 4”, the female guest. Based on Baxter (2010) theory of speech styles, Baxter (2010) divides speech styles into two categories, the first of which is connected with female speech styles, namely: personal, compliant, polite, cooperative, and process-oriented. Second, male speech styles are connected with the following speech characteristics: matter-of-fact, assertive, aggressive, use of humor, ego-enhancing, and goal-directed. A descriptive qualitative approach was used by examining video transcripts to identify examples of speech styles. The findings reveal despite their gender both Eva and Faiz used all of the features of female and male speech styles. Therefore, in conclusion there are no differences in the use of gendered speech styles. Both of the male and speech styles used in a number are equally the same. This research contributes to the understanding of speech styles in corporate communications and offers insights for future studies of speech styles in various business-related contexts. Keywords: Gender, Speech Style, Female Speech Styles, Male Speech Styles
