Clear Speech: Practice
- Every time we converse we have an opportunity to practice
- Speaking properly was in part based on pronunciation. It’s the proper use of vocal cords, mouth, tongue, lungs and your head
- Indistinct speech can result from slurring words, talking inside a muffled voice, running words together, dropping endings and just failure to enunciate phrases or groups of words
Tense Voice, Good Pitch
- It is when you communicate with the throat muscles tensed and the voice is projected from lower in the neck. It happens when there is not enough air in the lungs to make the speech organs work properly.
- The speech as opposed to resonating in the mouth, comes from the throat and sounds deeper, raspy, and forced. So even though you have clear speech, it is indistinct
- What does it sound like? What does it feel like? That is a distressed voice. The solution is simple, just breathe. Breathe adequate for your speaking. Clear speech requires adequate lungs
- Speaking too fast could likewise result from nervousness or from habit. It will make speech difficult to grasp. Unlike playing a recording at a faster speed, it inhibits the ability to enunciate the words and speak clearly.
