Explanation / Answer

My voice, tone of the speech has sometimes a confusing impact on people. It tends to give mixed signals when I get awkward and nervous. The message is not communicated effectively and it tends to be a problem.

The platform of communication through use of power point presentation is very effective. It helps to provide clear message and the message is well enhanced.

The pitch and tone of the speech can be improved by paying attention to the clarity of the message. There can be focus given to understanding what the good benchmark for effective speech is like. It is important to speak slowly and follow a speech speed which helps to communicate message effectively.

It will be useful to pay attention to breathing to control the way speech is delivered. If the posture is awkward then it does not draw the audience. Straight posture also helps to provide clarity to the speech and gives strength to voice.

The vocal chords need to work without any pressure and this is effectively done when a person is well hydrated. It is also important to watch pitch as I tend to have nasal quality sometimes when I become nervous and awkward. The pitch needs to be controlled and paid attention to.

It will also be useful to do voice exercises and make sure that the sound comes from the stomach instead of the throat. This will ensure that the voice is well projected and it is also clear. It will also ensure that a person does not get tired too easily by screaming through throat.

I tend to sometimes yell and the pitch gets messed up. It is necessary to pay attention to that and make sure that the message is communicated well with attention to good speech. It is necessary to be consistent with the tone and pitch of the voice. I tend to be inconsistent with it and there needs to be focus to fix that. The sound of the speaker and the content of the speech is also an important factor in this case.
