Vocal Emphasis or Vocal Inflection: Practice • “Her name is Sally and she’s my friend” • “Her name is Sally and she’s my friend” • “Her name is Sally and she’s my friend” • “Her name is Sally and she’s my friend” • “Her name is Sally and she’s my friend” • “Her name is Sally and she’s my friend”

16. Articulation and Pronunciation • Articulation, or enunciation, refers to the crispness, the distinctness, which we say the syllables in a word • Avoid “mushmouth syndrome” • Pronunciation refers to saying the sounds of a word properly and stress the correct syllable

17. Articulation and Pronunciation Practice • Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked? • D-A-T-A • M-A-T-U-R-E • M-A-R-T-I-N • What other words that have multiple ways of pronouncing them?

18. Additional Aspects of Vocal Delivery • Pause Before Starting = Pause and gather yourself before starting the speech. Not pausing or pausing for a very short time can make the speaker appear nervous, eager, or unpolished. It is more effective to pause for 2-3 sections before starting. • Avoid Fillers or Vocalized Pauses = The speaker should not utter vocalized pauses (Um, Ah, and You Know). Vocalized pauses are sounds or expressions used by many speakers to fill silence instead of using silent pauses.

19. PRACTICE: Put it all together! • (Simple, honest statement, or perhaps sarcasm.) "I appreciate the kindness you have shown me, and I hope to return the favor when I can." • (Resentment, anger, unfriendliness) "Kindness! Do you call that kindness? I wouldn't treat a stray dog the way you've treated me! • (Deep feeling of earnestness and conviction) "If we all show a little kindness, a little concern for others' need as well as our own, we can help make the word what it should be.“ Delivery Notes!
