WHY SPEAKING SKILLS IMPORTANT

Speaking is an important but often neglected skill in the job world — yet we speak to people
every day. Job interviews also require top speaking skills, whether you are trying to get your foot in the
door of a company, or are applying for a promotion.

ENUNCIATION

In phonetics, enunciation is the act of speaking. Good enunciation is the act of speaking clearly
and concisely. The opposite of good enunciation is mumbling or slurring. See also "pronunciation" which
is a component of enunciation. Pronunciation is to pronounce sounds of words correctly.

ARTICULATION

The word articulation generally refers to how the pieces of something are joined together; for
example, how bones are connected to make a skeleton or syllables are connected to make a word.
Articulation depends on what is happening at the beginning and end of each segment, as well as in
between the segments.

CORRECT PRONUNCIATION

English pronunciation varies considerably across the English speaking world. WordWeb only
provides a rough guide, concentrating on the “standard” American and RP (BBC English) varieties that
are widely comprehended. The correct local pronunciation will depend on where you are. In particular the
vowel sounds very widely; words that rhyme in one locale may not in another (though in many cases
vowel sounds change in a consistent pattern).

VOCAL VARIETY

Sometimes speakers and broadcasters are convinced that they need huge amounts of it to be
effective. While it is important to be interesting and keep your listeners' attention some people go too far.
They stress practically every third or fourth word, and fall into a repetitive pitch pattern. It almost sounds
as if they're singing.

One way to lessen this effect is by finding and stressing the main ideas and subduing the others.
It's also important to listen carefully for any habitual patterns. (Broadcasters, listen to/watch your
airchecks.) If you can hear it, you're on the way to fixing it.

However, the more usual problem is not enough vocal variety. A monotonous delivery gives
listeners the perception that you're tired, apathetic, bored. A rushed style, or one where the pitch gets too
high and tense makes people think that you're nervous, uncomfortable, "emotional."
