    EP24 - Speech Pacing - Keeping Things Interesting

    Your speaking pace is an important key component of engaged, entertaining communication. Mastering your speaking pace and knowing when to slow down versus speed up is important in ultimately communicating your message clearly. I've said it before but it's not what you say, but how you say it that is important.  Practicing this skill is helpful to communicate certain ideas and knowing which ideas are best delivered slowly or fast is helpful to your listener. Your job as a speaker is in packaging the content in the correct context. 100 word stories Speech rate guidelines: Slow: Less than 110 wpm Conversational: Between 120 wpm and 150 wpm Fast: More than 160 wpm Radio hosts and podcasters: 150-160 wpm Auctioneeers: 250-400 wpm Calculating your Speech Rate = # words / duration of time About the Show: AccentOutLoud is your weekly source for English  communication, insights, experimentation, and inspiration.

    EP23 - Engaging Speech: The Trifecta of Loudness, Pitch and Length

    Loudness, Pitch and Length are the trifecta of engaging speech. Mastering each of these suprasegmental aspects of English communication presents a speaker with the capability to communicate nuance and command attention. Without it, you may be understood in content but the delivery may be lackluster, monotonous and ultimately fall on deaf ears. These aspects of English communication are not consistently discussed in language learning schools to the degree that I think is necessary as compared with grammar and it can communicate (even unconsciously) lack of confidence.   About the Show: AccentOutLoud is your weekly source for English  communication, insights, experimentation, and inspiration.

    EP22 - Native English Speaker Learns Hard-to-Pronounce Words

    Stumbled upon 31 Commonly Mispronounced Words and figured it would be helpful to hear a native English speaker struggle, think and learn pronunciations of words. A key insight is that native English speakers aren't crippled by the incongruencies between a word's pronunciation and its spelling. Non-native English speakers focus very heavily on this mismatch and at times, are paralyzed by it rather than being able to move on.  Native English speakers will naturally encounter new words that they have never heard before. As the language adopts new words, there will naturally be new words or old words that become popular. Native English speakers will extract the value by hearing the pronunciation and associate it with the visual representation of the word, but are NOT crippled by any mismatch that occurs because there is ALREADY an acceptance of exceptions to the spelling. Being comfortable with that mismatch is the key to being comfortable with English.
