slide5. Breathing Breathing controls the quality of sound produced by the voice
Use Diaphragmatic Breath (breath from your diaphragm)
”Stomach breathing” – stomach is pushed out with inhalations
Produces full, supported sound
How to build muscle and practice
Lie down on a flat surface with a heavy book on your abdomen
Practice pushing the book up with your inhale
Practice extending how long you inhale and exhale
Count aloud as you exhale and stop when the voice trails off<br>
slide6. Volume Use a full, loud voice without straining your throat
Do not yell. Use your diaphragm to power your voice
Vary volume throughout the speech Prepare:
Visit speaking environment, ask friend to sit in the back to test if you can be heard
Practice diaphragmatic breathing
Mark intended variations on your speaking outline
During the Speech:
Watch for audience lens and ear turns
Visualize your voice as a ball hitting the back wall<br>
slide7. Articulation, Pitch, and Rate Articulation
How clearly the speaker pronounces words
Uses tongue, teeth, and lips
Practice: tongue twisters
TIPS
Mark challenging sounds in the speaking outline
Slow down Pitch
The degree of highness or lowness of a voice
Vary pitch to avoid sounding monotone
Practice: slide from highest pitch to lowest and back
TIPS
Use arrows noting to raise or lower pitch in speaking outline Rate
Speaking Speed
Nerves increase speed, so go slower than you feel you need to
TIPS
Take plenty of breaths and mark them in your speaking outline
Write ”Slow Down” on your speaking outline
Consider when to slow or increase your speed<br>
slide8. Emphasis and Pauses Pauses : using brief silences effectively
Replace vocalizations such as “oh, um, like”
Allows the audience to process information or emotion

Vocal Habits: Unfavorable speech patterns and habits
Filler Words
Um, uh, like
Vocal Fry
Voice creak or rattle when using the lowest vocal register
Upspeak
“Uptalk” ending a sentence with a rising-pitch, like it is a question
Breathy Voice
Voice sounds “light” because air escapes while speaking
Nasal Voice
Air is pushed out through the nose instead of mouth
Strident Voice
Harsh or strained sound from using your throat to speak, tensing vocal cords<br>
