4 Steps of Voice Production
Respiration – breathing
Vibration – expelling air over your vocal chords
Resonation – amplifying sound
Articulation – changing sound to intelligible speechSlide4

Articulaton
Avoid weak qualities: breathy, raspy, shrill, nasal, husky

Vocal Effectiveness
Volume – speaking loudly or softly
Intensity – showing emotion; expelling more air from you diaphragm
Emphasis – stressing certain words
Rate – speaking quickly or slowly
Pause – placing silences between words, phrases
Framing – placing a pause before and after a word or phrase
