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.
