  3. Breathing • Breathe control = Quality vocal tone Three Part Breath • Sitting comfortably, exhale completely. Inhale through the nose and expand the abdomen and kidney area. Hold the breath for a count of four. Continue to inhale, expanding the ribs. Hold the breath. Inhale all the way up into the chest and collarbones, expanding fully. Hold the breath. Slowly exhale through the nose. The exhalation should be long, slow, and controlled. Repeat for five rounds. This technique expands the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, allowing fuller breathing.

  4. Volume & Projection • Volume- the degree of loudness & intensity • Projection- directs the voice to a specific target Exercise • Inhale deeply, and with an abrupt action of the ab­dominal muscles explode the voice upon be, ba, baw, bah, bo, boo. Avoid using much force at first. • •  The following should be combined with the same vowel sounds, first in loud whisper, then in loud voice, ex­hausting the breath on each sound: P, t, d, v, k, bl, br, ch, dr, dw, fl, fr, gl, gr, hi, kr, pi, pr, si, sm, sn, sp, sq, sk, sh, st, sw, tr, th, tw, wh.

  5. Pitch & Quality • Pitch- high, medium, low=Melody • Inflection • Quality- Clarity of pitch

  6. Rate & pause • Rate- speed with which sounds are used • Pauses- purposeful breaks between words or phrases • Exercise • The 180 Word Statement by Pennsylvania Bell Company •  "Most experts agree that the real rate of speech is between one hundred and eighty to two hundred words per minute. At this rate, people who are listening to you will be able to hear and understand what you are saying. In the United States, there are different patterns of speech that are product of geographic areas. In the northeastern part of the country, people tend to speak faster than others while people from the southern states speak slower than the ideal rate. However, people in the mid-western states will tend to speak the one hundred and eighty word rate. To test yourself, note your start time and finish time. Use the second hand of the clock to do this. If you read this statement in less than one minute, you are speaking too fast and should make an effort to slow down. But, if you read this statement in more than one minute, you are speaking too slowly and should try to speak faster when talking on the phone."

  8. Intelligibility of Speech • Pronunciation- The correctness of sound • Articulation- the shaping of sounds • Dialect/Accent- the melody, use and way sounds are formed
