Lesson details
Key learning points
- It is important to consider and present an appropriate tone for the topic of your speech.
- Tone is conveyed differently in spoken language, using facial expressions, body language and voice.
- Spoken language should feel slower and slightly louder than everyday speech.
- Meaningful pauses can help with pace and emphasise important parts.
Keywords
Tone - the emotional quality of a speaker's voice that conveys feelings and sets the mood of the presentation
Appropriate - suitable or fitting for a particular situation or purpose
Resonate - to have a strong emotional effect or connection with someone or something
Sincerity - being honest and truthful in what you say and feel
Common misconception
I can effectively practise my presentation in my head.
Although it is good to think about your presentation, you will need to practise delivering it out loud. This will give you a much better idea of timing and pace.
