Though we speak frequently during the course of a day, a formal speech requires extra attention to detail in preparation of a more formal speech presentation. Voice, or vocal sound, is made when controlled air being exhaled from the lungs, passes over the vocal cords causing a controlled vibration. The vibrating air resonates in the body, chest cavity, mouth, and nasal passages. The vibrating air causes a chain reaction with the air in the room. The room’s air, set in motion by the voice, is captured by the listener’s ear. The vibration of the air against the eardrum is transferred to electrical impulses that are interpreted by the listener’s brain. Thus, the sounds we can make are predicated on the breaths that we take. Articulation We are often judged by how well we speak in general. A measure of perceived intellect or education is how well we articulate. That is: how well and correctly we form our vowels and consonants using our lips, jaw, tongue, and palate to form the sounds that are identified as speech. Diction and enunciation are other terms that refer to the same idea. For instance, saying “going to” instead of “gonna” or “did not” instead of “dint” are examples of good versus poor articulation. Consonant and vowels are spoken with standard accepted precision, and serious students and speakers will strive to practice the clarity of their sounds. Proper diction is as integral to the English language as proper spelling, but it takes practice. Modulation It refers to how you control your voice when speaking. When we speak, we are able to change the message by varying the tone, stress on words, pitch, and changing the rate of speech. TRY THIS! Talk without breathing. It cannot be done. So if you are screaming (like a baby), you are also breathing! The first word of advice on speaking to an audience: BREATHE!
- 6. 6 Effective voice modulation can mean the difference between a boring speech, and an audience captivating speech. However, modulation is not easy, and needs to be practiced. Focus on how you speak to people in an individual setting, the shift in pitch and the tone of your voice. You can modulate your voice by: a. Varying the pitch of your voice: Females tend to have a higher pitch of voice, due to different anatomical structuring. When delivering speeches, tend to stick to lower pitches. Microphones are deceiving, as you may think it amplifies your voice. They do amplify voice, as well other articulatory mistakes, higher pitches and breathing! So next time you have a speech using a microphone, practice with it first. b. Speaking slowly: When you pause, you are able to catch your breath. Your pauses will also make your audience lean forwards in their chair, and wait eagerly for your next message. Pausing is the best way to improve audience involvement and attention. c. Stress on certain words: When you increase emphasis or stress on certain words, you draw your audience’s attention. Choose powerful words to stress on, so that your message is captivating and clear. d. Speak quietly: Use this effect when you want your audience to calm down, or to hang to your every word. A certain way to grab the attention of someone, is through an assertive voice, rather than a loud authoritative voice. e. Copy others: Look at videos of powerful orators, politicians, celebrities etc. Observe the way they modulate their voices. Practice, practice, practice! According to Stephen Lucas (2011), author of The Art of Public Speaking, a good delivery means you are capable and able to present your message in clear, coherent, and interesting way. Types of Speech According to Purpose 1. An informative speech provides the audience with a clear understanding of a concept or idea. The lectures of your teachers are the best examples of this type. 2. An entertainment speech amuses the audience. The humorous speeches of comedians and performers are the best examples of this type. 3. A persuasive speech seeks to provide the audience with favorable or acceptable ideas that can influence their own ideas and decisions. The campaign speeches of the running candidates for government posts are the best examples of this type. Types of Speech According to Delivery 1. Extemporaneous Description Speaking with limited preparation Guided by notes or outline Delivered conversationally Most popular type

Memorized Description Speaking with advanced preparation Planned and rehearsed speech Reciting a written message word-for-word from memory Speaking Situations When you perform in a stage play When you deliver a declamation, oratorical, or literary piece When an actor or actress in a scene performs a script from memory Advantages Exact repetition of the written words from memory Free to move around the stage Disadvantages Speakers might end up speaking in a monotone pattern.
