Vocal Variety<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The human voice has a major\neffect on the audience. A good speaking voice is pleasant, natural, forceful,\nexpressive, and easily heard. So how can Kawmadee captivate her audience with\nher voice? According to her mentor, she should vary voice volume, pitch, rate\nand quality to add meaning and interest to her message. Further, she should use\npauses to enhance her points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Your Topic<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kawmadee has a presentation to do\nat the university as part of her coursework in about a month. Abishake sees\nthis as a good opportunity to get her to complete two more projects in the\nmanual. In this project, she must collect information about her topic from\nnumerous sources. Next, she must carefully support her points and opinions with\nspecific facts, examples and illustrations gathered through her research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Comfortable with Visual Aids<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For the aforementioned\npresentation, Kawmadee must make a slide deck to be displayed on the screen.\nSo, her mentor suggests that she gets comfortable with using visual aids by\ncompleting her 8th<\/sup> project in the manual. This project is about\nselecting visual aids that are appropriate for her message and the audience.\nAlso, she should use them correctly with ease and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Persuade with Power<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now that Kawmadee knows how to\nace her presentations at the university, she wants to move into something\nbigger. She wants to become an inspirational public speaker. Abishake teaches\nher how to persuade people with her speaking skills. He advices her to think from\nthe viewpoint of the audience, and to use logic and emotion to bring them to\nyour viewpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspire Your Audience<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is it – the pinnacle of the\njourney in Gavel to become a competent communicator. In this project, Kawmadee\nuses all the skills she picked up from the previous projects to inspire the\naudience. She needs to appeal to noble motives and challenge the audience to\nachieve a higher level of belief or achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
