◦ Rapport with the Audience
- Articulation refers to the production
of speech sounds (Audiology and
Speech Solutions, n.d.).

ARTICULATION
- In speech delivery, articulation focuses
on how clearly the words are
pronounced by the speaker, making
them intelligible.
- There are two types of modulation in speech
delivery: voice modulation and speech modulation.

- Voice modulation is the ability to control or


maximize the vocal intensity (volume) of a
MODULATION speaker, making sure that the words spoken can be
heard well.

- Speech modulation refers to the placement of


the proper stress on important words, the proper
pacing of the speech and the assignment of the
appropriate pitch (Speech Mastery, n.d.).
STAGE PRESENCE
- This is the ability of a speaker to focus the attention of the audience on
him/her (Musician Port, 2019).

- Stage presence is not something that is purely innate. Stage presence is


something that you develop over time (Genard, 2019).

- The following are the usual tips for a good stage presence:
◦ Dress properly. When you look good, you feel good.
◦ Maintain proper eye contact. You have an audience, so talk to them
and not to the floor.
◦ Rehearse your speech. The more confident you are with the
material, the more confident you become about the actual
performance.
◦ MOVE. Do not stay in one place. Loosen up.
◦ Be yourself. The audience will respond to sincerity, and pretending
to be a different character will usually result to a performance that is
tense or superficial.
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
AND GESTURES
- In the same way that people do not appreciate a monotone
voice during speeches, a flat face (or poker face) is also not
helpful in getting the correct impact across (Lowenbraun,
n.d.).

- When your facial expressions and gestures change


according to the emotion that the different statements in
your speech require, then it enhances the effect of that line.

- It is also noteworthy that the appropriate facial expressions


and gestures should accompany the statements. You cannot
have an angry statement but a speaker who is happily
smiling.
RAPPORT
WITH THE
AUDIENCE
- Finally, it is also vital that you
create a connection with your
audience because after all, they
are the reason why you are
giving the speech.

- You can build rapport by


directly talking to a member of
the audience, pointing to them,
or by narrating a story or a
common scenario.
