Welcome everyone to our Season 1 Episode Finale!

Teamwork is essential in almost every aspect of life, including work, sports, school, and relationships. The importance of teamwork cannot be overstated as it helps individuals achieve common goals and objectives that would be difficult or impossible to attain alone.

In today's podcast, we focus on the importance of impressions. Impressions can be lasting and powerful, and can shape how a person is perceived by others in both personal and professional situations. How do we create a great first impression? If the first impression wasn't very good, is there a way to fix it? How do you leave a long-lasting impression after your speech? All these questions and more are discussed!

What was the most entertaining speech you've heard? Was it your professor speaking in a monotone fashion or a comedian who could express their jokes in a memorable and exciting way?

The skill comedians showcase is called Vocal Variety, and this skill is just as transferrable into speeches to make your prepared speeches and everyday communication memorable. Vocal variety refers to the use of different speech elements such as pitch and tone, pace, volume, and pronunciation to make speech more engaging and interesting. This can be used to convey emotions, add emphasis, or to maintain the listener's attention.

Join us today in our podcast where David, Jay and Anson will share examples and their stories on how vocal variety makes their speeches pop out.
