  2. Voice • Paralanguage – vocal qualities “assist” language • Disfluencies – disruptions in the flow of words • Verbal Junk (um, uh, like, and um)

  3. Voice and Meaning • Emotional Tone • Quality of voice that conveys emotions • Volume • Loud vs Soft (space, sentence endings, mic) • Fluency • Smoothness of language delivery, how words and sentences fit together (silent pause, verbal junk) • Articulation • Clarity of individual speech sounds (mumbling, saying the wrong word, lose word endings)

  4. Voice and Meaning cont… • Pace • Speed at which language is produced (slow vs fast) • Pitch and Inflection • Pitch = high or low (musical scale) • Inflection = manipulating pitch for meaning • Avoid (monotone, high/squeaky, repeated inflections)

  5. Ta-whin-tea-too

  6. Body • Eye Contact • Shows you want to communicate, are prepared, sincere etc... Also allows feedback • Can get lost in notes or visual aid, look at only one person (evaluator), favor one area, move eyes too quickly, or look too high or low • Facial Expressions • Use authentic and familiar expressions

  7. Body cont… • Posture • Rigid vs relaxed, don’t use objects as crutches, don’t fidget with arms-hands-legs-feet • Gestures • Illustrators – movements of the hands, head, and other body parts that accompany speech • Emblems – movements or positions of the body that have precise meaning and are immediately understood by others (culturally bound) • Personality and the message play a role

  8. Body cont… • Physical distance (proxemics) • Pay attention the messages you send, room layout, objects in room, elevation, movement • Body Orientation • The direction your body is facing in regards to listeners
