Articulating English word and phrases with Confidence

Pay attention to the following variables in your speech habits and rate them all on a scale from 1 - 10. Place the most focus on and th

e areas you're weakest at the areas you're strongest:

1. Pitch Variation - Vary the high and low frequencies of your voice to keep listeners engaged and interested in what you're saying.
2. Voice Projection - You should be capable of talking with enough intensity so that anyone who's 15-20 feet away can clearly understand you. Practice talking at this intensity so that people can clearly understand you and follow what you're saying thereby drawing favorable attention to yourself.
3. Use of Pauses - Strategically pause before and after the words and phrases you want to emphasize.
4. Sentence Length Variation - Follow long sentences after short sentences and vice versa. If you say 3 or more long sentences in tandem, you may lose people due to the overload of information.
5. Determine How the Sound of your Voice Makes you Feel and Make Improvements- Listen to yourself talk in a recording and pay attention to how you feel when you hear yourself talk. Do you feel positive or negative? Pleasant or irritated,? Energizing or sleep-inducing? There may be a high chance that most people feel the same way when they hear your voice. Can you adjust the general tonality to something more pleasing and stick to that?
6. Speed Variation - Slow down your rate of speech when you want to emphasize certain words and phrases. Give people a chance to understand and follow what you're saying. Speed up your speech when you know they already understand the concept you're talking about.
7. Portray Confidence and Self-Assurance - Give people the impression that you're 100% sure of yourself, you're an authority in the subject matter you're talking about, and you believe wholeheartedly in what you're saying. Many people are disproportionately attracted to this quality even if it's specious. The impression of doubt and self-restraint tend to repel many people even when that's grounded on reasonable premises.
8. Vocabulary Usage - In most cases, speak at roughly the same vocabulary level as your audience. Also, don't bring up concepts that are too far outside their perceptive experience and the context of the situation.
9. Talk with a Harmonious Rhythm - Make your phrases and sentences harmonize with each other like notes on a music sheet. Time your high, low, long, and short pitches with each other succinctly and you'll have a natural flow to your speech that is pleasing to the ear.
