Some might think they are doing it just for show, to rile up an audience.
They go through a process that any profession requires. A lot of people are surprised when they find out that auction schools exist. They have to handle a lot of administrative work that often involves hundreds of pages of contracts, depending on how many lots are assigned to them each day. If you happen to walk by an ongoing auction, chances are you will hear the auctioneer going off like a machine gun, counting off bids left and right.
It draws you in, heck, you might even be enticed to participate! It all centers on the goal of attracting possible buyers, and keeping those who are already present engaged. The longer they have them engaged, the higher the chance of them bidding. According to Slate , auctioneers talk in a specifically monotone voice to lull possible bidders into a pattern of call and response. This method of speaking conditions the person into responding periodically to whatever calls the auctioneer is making.
This helps reinforce any biases that may lead them to increasing their bid cap for a certain item. Your information is safe with us, we hate spam, phishing, and malware as much as you. We will not share your information.

Take brief, shallow breaths at regular periods in between the bid calls. Avoid difficult sounds that strain your throat, like K or a hard G. The pros keep their vocal cords loose by chanting in the shower or in the car on the way to a show. Tongue-twisters are a great way to stay in shape. Try this one: A big black bug bit a big black bear. Say it faster and faster, but keep a steady rhythm, holding the final syllable for an extra beat before starting again. A professional must also learn how to squeeze out every last dollar from a sale.
If two people are bidding each other up, for example, a good auctioneer will start talking directly to them, cocking his head back and forth and gesturing to them as he urges them on. The sense of competition is thought to move people past their predetermined price limits. No one knows exactly when auctioneers started talking that way although the National Auctioneers Association has made a serious effort to investigate the question. Public auctions have been around since well before the nation's founding but became very common during the Civil War, when military officers unloaded seized property to the highest bidder.
That's why today's auctioneers sometimes bear the title "Colonel. Some speculate that tobacco auctioneers, still known as some of the most skilled practitioners , might have developed the style when the public leaf auctions spread from Virginia into other states after the Civil War. But let's be honest: It's the loose-lipped quick speaking of auctioneers that's the true hallmark of any self-respecting sale. So, have you ever stopped to wonder why they talk so fast?
While you may think that speaking quickly has do with the fact that auctioneers are trying to save everybody's time, the real reason they speak so fast is to get you to buy more stuff. By creating a rhythm, it becomes easier for people to fall into a pattern of behavior, and this principle applies to almost any phenomenon.
Great fighters will create a rhythm in a fight and then break that rhythm accordingly, adjusting it to catch their opponent off balance. The same applies to folks at an auction. By creating this response with their fast talking, people will be more inclined to lift their placards up in a back-and-forth of bidding.
Slate reports: "They talk like that to hypnotize the bidders. Auctioneers don't just talk fast—they chant in a rhythmic monotone so as to lull onlookers into a conditioned pattern of call and response, as if they were playing a game of 'Simon Says. The article continued, "The speed is also intended to give the buyers a sense of urgency: Bid now or lose out.
