<p style="text-align:justify;">The objective of this study is to evaluate whether managers’ tone of&nbsp;voice of Brazilian companies that publish the results in the presentation phase&nbsp;of the conference call is influenced by the personal characteristics of these&nbsp;agents. A total of 10 Brazilian companies were traded on the New York Stock&nbsp;Exchange (ADR) between 2002 and 2016, which made voluntary disclosure. The&nbsp;sample was limited to the companies with negotiations in North American market,&nbsp;that make the voluntary disclosure of the results by the necessity of the&nbsp;availability of the conference calls in English. To calculate the tone of&nbsp;voice, the dictionary developed by Loughran and McDonald (2011) was used. The&nbsp;tone was calculated based on the conference calls of quarterly disclosure of&nbsp;the results of the companies and related to the characteristics of the managers&nbsp;like gender, position and academic formation. The results verified in the&nbsp;Brazilian companies confirm the same ones found in international surveys, which&nbsp;find evidences that the personal characteristics influence the tone of voice&nbsp;used in the phase of presentation of the conference calls, controlling other&nbsp;factors like the performance of the company.</p>
