Note: The following few snippets are offered from listening to presenters on the radio or viewing them on television. There are parallels to be observed and appreciated in a live audience context.

STUDY OTHERS AND IMPROVE (Voice)

When watching television or listening to the radio, listen intently to what is said and how the presenter appears on the screen.

Consider their speech from the viewpoints of pitch, rhythm, tone and intonation.

Does the voice catch on and engage you, or is the style a turn-off?  How vocal qualities engage (or disengage) listeners is ever so important.

Think about what you are hearing and make mental notes about the example this presenter or speaker is offering. 

Studying others can help reflect upon the need for personal awareness and self-improvement.
