and

Both concerned with how
you produce sounds and
words.

and the jaw to accepted standard.

producing sounds
• INTELLIGIBILITY
 How clearly a person speaks so that his/her
listener will understand his/her speech.
 HOW?
• a. Enunciate clearly. Be careful with omission
errors, substitution errors
•Ex. wanna instead of want to (omission errors)
• peybor instead of favor ( substitution of /f/ to
/p/)
b. Avoid filler words.
- These are filler words: um, like, er, uh,
ah, and ok.
c. Control your rate.
• Rate - the speed at which you speak.
- 150 words/minute
(conversational mode)
d. Vary your pitch and intonation
• When you deliver your speech,
varying your pitch and intonation keeps
you from sounding monotonous – that is,
there is no rising or falling pattern in
your speech.
e. Master the pause.
*PAUSE - used to create suspense when
you briefly stop talking before a key idea
or a climax in the story
- helps audiences to digest what you
have said and helps you to think of what
you are going to say next, but be careful
that your pauses do not last too long or
else it will result to dead air or to
awkward pauses.
MODULATION
• The goal when you deliver a speech is
projecting your voice so that the people at the
back of the venue can hear you without the
people in front feeling like you are shouting at
them. This involves modulating your volume or
how loudly and softly you speak.
•Consider the size of the room or speaking

venue, size of the audience, the noise in

the environment, and the reaction of the

audience in adjusting the volume of your

voice.
•Varying the volume of your voice at

certain points in your speech helps

engage the attention of your listeners.


FACIAL
EXPRESSIONS
NO RESPECT
GESTURES
a. Keep hand movements descriptive.

- Do what comes naturally. If you're talking


about a small thing, pinch your fingers. If
it's a really big point, don't be afraid to
gesture your hands in the air.
b. Use open palm gestures to build
audience's trust.
- If a speaker shows open palms, it signals
to everybody that he/she got nothing to
harm the listeners, and that he/she is
exposed. Outstretched gestures to the
audience with open palms, therefore can
help the speaker gain their trust and build
rapport with them.
c. Do not point. Just don't.
One of the few repeated “NO-NO’S” we
heard was to avoid pointing. It can look
aggressive, unwelcoming and off-putting
to many in the crowd. Audiences hate it.
• Activity 1: Gestures Speak

• Memorize the following excerpt
from one of the motivational
speeches given by Bryan Dyson,
the former CEO of Coca Cola, as a
commencement address at
Georgia Tech in 1996 .

• Deliver it in front of your family
members/friends. Make sure to
have proper gestures and facial
“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling
some five balls in the air. You name them— work,
family, health, friends and spirit…and you’re
keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber


ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the
other four balls—family, health, friends and spirit
—are made of glass. If you drop one of these,
they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked,
damaged or even shattered. They will never be
the same. You must understand that and strive
for balance in your life.
