Pace, Pause and Passion


Improve your presentation delivery by varying your delivery. Practise your presentation delivery with this phrase.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

Voice drills are most effective when you preform them several times and exaggerate individual aspects. That way you hear and feel the differences.

Speed
First - say that phrase as fast as you can - even running the words into each other. Don't emphasise any words. Just concentrate on speed. Do it three times and try to be faster each time.


Slow
Second - say that phrase as slow as you can. Draw each word out as long as you can. Do it three times and each time slower.


Pause
Third - say that phrase with an exaggerated pause between every word. State each word clearly and draw out the pauses between each word as if you were reading a death sentence for your loved one. Do it three times - each time with the pause longer.


Passion
Fourth - say that phrase injecting passion into every second word. Contrast is important. Play with it and do it three times.


After this warm up - say it as if you wanted to enthrall your young children or grand children.

Hear and feel how powerful you sound.


Merry Christmas
