Fluency and pace of speech A skilled speaker will talk at a speed which allows listeners sufficient time to process what is said, while also avoiding excessive pausing or hesitation.
Tonal variation Especially in a public speaking situation, a speaker should be assessed on how they use variations in emphasis, volume and pitch to enhance the meaning of their speech.
Clarity of pronunciation A skilled speaker will pronounce words with suitable clarity and precision, without muttering or slurring them, so that the speaker is understood by their audience.
Voice projection This means speaking loudly enough to suit the needs of the situation. So a skilled speaker would not whisper when addressing a whole class or other similar large audience, or shout in a small group situation.
Gesture and posture Especially in public speaking situations, a skilled speaker can use gestures to enhance the meaning of their speech. These should not be exaggerated or distracting, but appropriate to the nature and scale of the situation. When making a formal presentation, posture should be upright and ‘open’, reflecting the speaker’s awareness of the demands of this kind of speaking as public performance.
Facial expression and eye contact One of the most important ways in which a speaker or listener can demonstrate engagement with those they are communicating with is through their facial expression. Eye contact can also help maintain good interpersonal communication, if used appropriately in any situation.
