   51: Real Talking Tips - What Are Your Speech Problem Areas?

   Successful speech communication is easily received by the listener and engages the audience's attention. - 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 deliver the message, and own the results as a voice actor, podcaster, public speaker, sales person, or presenter. Episode 51 is a review of the topics we worked on in Real Talking Tips season 1 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.   What areas of speech do you need to improve? Clarity, Resonance, Breath Support, and Power. Natural Talking Speed and Use of Tempo Changes. Storytelling, Emotional Opinions, and Creation of a 3-D World. Emphasis on Key Words and Voice Placement Locations. Motivation, Action, Through Line, and Story Arc. Authority, Logic, and Emotion. Consistency and Confidence Practice along with the Real Talking Tips videos, audio podcasts, this blog, my Elaine Clark apps - Adding Melody To Your Voice and Activate Your Voice plus my best selling Elaine A.

   50: Real Talking Tips - Create A Story Arc

   The purpose of a story arc is to ENGAGE the audience's attention and effect a CHANGE. A story arc is needed in every speech, presentation, audio recording, and series episode. For the story to go somewhere, change must occur from the beginning of the speech, to the end of the message, and beyond the spoken words. 'Flat lining a message' occurs when a speaker fails to take the audience on a journey. Story arcs can be from avoidance to acceptance, confusion to understanding, boredom to action, disconnection to support, disappointment to success, etc. The story arc style can be simple, complex, dramatic, or comedic. So remember, the speaker's narrative story arc takes the audience on a journey, which is the foundation of good storytelling.
