Discussion
Important Aspects of Presentation to Keep in Mind
1. Body language - make sure that you have a proper posture. If your shoulders are
sagging and your legs are crossed, you will not appear as being sincere and people just will
not accept your message.
2. Articulation - articulation means how your total vocal process works. There are
several steps to this entire process. First, you need air from the lungs, your vocal cords in
your larynx must be working, your mouth and tongue must be in sync, and you have to make
sure that you have got some saliva in your mouth to keep things oiled. You should be aware
of your physical makeup to be able to understand how you speak.
3. Pronunciation - pronounce each word. Avoid slang, except to make a point, and
do not slur your words. Avoid saying, "you know."
4. Pitch - pitch refers to the highs and lows of your voice. Whatever you do, avoid a
monotone!
5. Speed - your speed, or pace, is an important variable to control. Between 140160
words per minute is the normal pace for a persuasive speech. Any faster and you may
appear to be glib; any slower and you sound like you are lecturing. The human ear and brain
can compile and decode over 400 spoken words per minute, so if you are going too slow
your listeners' minds are going to start to wander as the brains finds other ways to keep
themselves occupied.
6. Pauses - the pause, or caesura, is a critical persuasive tool. When you want to
emphasize a certain word, just pause for one second before; this highlights the word. If you
really want to punch it, pause before and after the word!
7. Volume - volume is another good tool for persuasive speech, but you should use it
with caution. If you scream all the way through your speech, people will become accustomed
to it and it will lose its effectiveness. On the other hand, a few well-timed shouts can liven up
the old speech! Try to "project" or throw your voice out over the entire group - speak to the
last row.
8. Quality - quality of voice is gauged by the overall impact that your voice has on
your listeners. Quality of voice is the net caliber of your voice, its character and attributes.
Try to keep your vocal quality high; it is what separates your voice from everyone else's.
9. Variance - variance of vocal elements is your most important consideration of all!

One of the most persuasive speakers in modern history was Winston Churchill. One of his
most remarkable qualities was his ability to vary the elements of his voice. He would start
with a slow, laconic voice and then switch gears to a more rapid pace.
