I was taught by my parents that people who are loud don't have anything to say. I've found if you're suggesting quite big changes, a quiet style may be reassuring.

Some people think that you have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference. That is just not true. Often, the best thing we can do is turn down the volume. When the sound is quieter, you can actually hear what someone else is saying. And that can make a world of difference.
Quiet is better than loud.
I'm of the opinion that it's okay to be silent, to not speak if you don't have anything to say.
Quiet is the new loud.
Lots of people aren't comfortable with silences. They feel they've got to fill the dead air.
I'm naturally a loud person. It can be a bit overpowering.
Speech is the small change of silence.
There is a lot of silence in me, and I feel that silence is often better than spoken words.
One of the rules of the road is that if you want to create the sense of silence, it frequently has more pungency if you include the tiniest of sounds. By manipulating what you hear and how you hear it and what other things you don't hear, you can not only help tell the story, you can help the audience get into the mind of the character.
Something that I think I figured out slowly was if you're playing a show and there's a chatter or there is, you know, a lot of noise - people talking or something - I was never the one whose instinct was to try to be louder than them.
