S1 Ep51: Real Talking Tips - What Are Your Speech Problem Areas?
Successful speech communication is easily received by the listener and engages the audience.
YOU have the ability to make people feel and take action.
You have the choice to offer a suggestion rather than a demand.
You have the ability to guide the listener into accepting and adopting your message as their own.
That’s the power of words, how you speak, and own the results as a voice actor, podcaster, public speaker, sales person, or presenter.
Let’s review the topics we worked on in S1: Real Talking Tips and in my Elaine A. Clark books, There’s Money Where Your Mouth Is and Voice-Overs for Podcasting, plus my two speech apps, Activate Your Voice and Adding Melody To Your Voice.
