When clear speech is heard it is appealing to the ear. It is the result of optimal use of the vocal cords. Attaining clarity is is crucial when giving a lecture. It’s also important in our every day conversation. To gain mastery of use of our vocal cords requires practice. Speaking clearly is a vary important thing to have while you are making a tutorial.

Clear Speech: Exercise

• Talking well is often more clever than talking cleverly. Unfortunately well-established, poor communicators legitimise bad communication. Poor communication in high places is copied by less experienced communicators who think that what they hear and see is “best practice”
• Talking clearly was in part linked to pronunciation. Its the correct use of vocal cords, mouth, tongue, lungs and your head
• Indistinct speech can result from slurring words, speaking inside a muffled voice, running words and phrases together, dropping endings and just failure to enunciate phrases or groups of words and phrases

Tense Voice, Big Pitch

• One is when we are tense; our vocal cords like other muscles in the body tighten up. The result may be a higher pitched voice. Although ours may be a technically clear vocalization, the pressure when felt by the audience results in distraction from your message.
• It is when you speak 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.
• Indistinct speech could be caused by failure to open the mouth enough or too much. Rigidity in the jaw muscles and or lips could contribute. This rigidity could come from nervousness or from habit
