This study had two main purposes: to analyze the oral expressivity, the linguistics and discoursive resources used by teleoperators; and to verify how this oral communication resources were related to professional performance and to the attitudinal sensation caused in listeners, probable clients. By understanding teleoperators´ oral communication we intend to contribute to Speech- Language Pathologists, Linguistics and professionals who deal with telemarketing, specially managers, supervisors and call center monitors. The contribution hoped is to enlarge the support to the teleoperator and to keep the search about efficient ways to help their employee to improve his performance, pointing to his best. Oral communication is socially built; therefore there are stereotypes and expectations about the communicative stiles used to telemarketing professional set. Based on this expectations the listeners/clients create an impression about these teleoperators, during theirs relationship. These listeners/clients feel teleoperator´s sensations and especially their attitude, making a judgment based on the caused impressions and inferences. To understand the impact of the oral communication in the client s deal, we searched for theorical presupposed in Linguistics, specificatively the scientists who studied language and work relationship, and also in the Theories of Politeness, and in Conversational-Maxim and Management of Face. To understand oral expressivity, we assumed that this came from dynamics sets and vocal quality used by teleoperators consciously or not-consciously. These sets are perceived by theirs listeners/clients. This process in telemarketing, by the symbolic content of voice, excites judgments of acceptance or rejection to the treatment given that could interfere in the relationship established. To this research a receptive call center from São Paulo city was chosen. Intending to verify the natural set of oral communication, with minimum interference as possible, the call center had to fit the following criteria: the supervisor team and teleoperators must never had former orientation about oral communication, there was no strict script to treat client, and there must be a monitorship system of performance s evaluation, however this monitoring must not go deep into oral communication orientation. Across the results of technical monitoring evaluation, two teleoperators were elected, being judged as constant technical performance in the three months before this intervention. The first one (OP_01) had a standard technical performance and the second (OP_02) one had a lower technical performance. An entire client s relationship (telephone call) was chosen of each one of this two operators, they were similar in time duration and client request. These two recorded telephone calls were submitted to linguistics-discursive resources analysis (statement evaluation), vocal expressivity (perceptual analysis done by three SLP-judgers, vocal dynamic was marked sentence to sentence and acoustical analysis of sentences with the same discoursive context), and judgment of the attitudinal sensation caused in the probable clients of this call center (125 listeners from São Paulo city, lately analyzed by sex, education level and age). The obtained results showed that the linguistics and discursive resources used by the OP_01 are the damage face-threatening acts to the own face and to the client, negatives conversational-maxims, and the oral expressivity is characterized by strain vocal quality, narrow fundamental frequency extension with occurrent linear prosodic curve or linear/falling prosodic curve during statements, less frequent proeminences by rising loudness or pitch, less frequent pauses. The OP_02 uses the conversational-maxims to minimized the face-threatening acts and protect the own faces and to the client, and the oral expressivity is characterized by neutral voice quality, wide fundamental frequency extension, frequent proeminences by rising pitch or vowel extention, a rising prosodic curve or rising/falling prosodic curve during sentences, more frequent pauses. The OP_01 was rejected by 93,6% of the probable clients mostly by the negative attitudinal sensation caused by her oral expressivity, while the OP_02 was accepted of the probable clients mostly by the positive attitudinal sensation caused by her linguistics and discoursive resources. The obtained results showed that the teleoperator s performance, were linked to the oral communication, being the teleoperator evaluated by SLPs, or by the company, or even by clients. The most qualified professional are the teleoperators that use specifics vocal quality and dynamics sets to compose their oral expressivity and specifics linguistic-discoursive choices
