Vocal Effectiveness • Volume – speaking loudly or softly • Intensity – showing emotion; expelling more air from you diaphragm • Emphasis – stressing certain words • Rate – speaking quickly or slowly • Pause – placing silences between words, phrases • Framing – placing a pause before and after a word or phrase • Pitch – speaking high or low • Inflection – varying your pitch
