Modulation
Transcript of Modulation
When we think of these expressions we
naturally assume they will be accompanied
with a specific tone in the voice…..
A tone that indicates:
Sorrow! Excitement! Joy! Anxiety! Surprise!etc
This is where once again we must
remember our voice is an INSTRUMENT!!
We must adjust the volume… The pitch…
The pace…
The results?
Vis Lets take a look at a
good example!!
Take note of words and
expressions where the
speaker changed his
pitch… Pace… and
added more power to
his voice!!!
• Ask yourself: What is my goal?
Is it to motivate?
Greater volume or a warm tone
Is it to inform?
A steady and clear pace is
necessary
Allowing your material to dictate the speed and tone can be very forceful!
To highlight main
point: Slower more
precise pace, lower tone!
Excitement: Speak
more rapidly and with higher tone
If you’re a fast speaker (over 150 words per minute), take a
full two seconds to say each of the following words:
droopy roar lovely glimmer rustle lonely crash
grumble snowflake
sluggish stroll fluffy gloomy luscious merry passion
hush happy
sputter murmur stretch moan lover delicious grisly
rumble
If you’re a slow speaker (less than 120 words per minute),
say each of the following words rapidly:
flick glib tip snap clip nit flip chip
pip blip fib flit dip glint bit snit click
Write a one-page composition describing your daily activity.
Then read it aloud. If you are a slow speaker, read it as
rapidly as you can. If you are a fast speaker, lengthen the
time you spend saying each word.
