Effective Speech Techniques in Public Speaking: Phonetic and Rhetorical Approaches

This article discusses the significance of speech techniques in ensuring effective verbal delivery during public speaking. Based on practical examples, intonation and articulation issues were observed and analyzed through phonetic and rhetorical approaches, and speech techniques were examined. The research methodology includes theoretical analysis, comparative analysis, and empirical observation.

Fragments from well-known speeches were analyzed by comparing clear and unclear speech samples to highlight the importance of voice tone, pause, stress, breathing, and correct articulation. The study demonstrates that these elements are essential components of effective public speaking. Additionally, the influence of linguistic factors on speech technique was observed, showing that empirical observations can greatly contribute to the development of speech techniques.

The research further provides practical methods for enhancing speech techniques. It was observed that exercises involving facial muscle control and mimicry positively impact a speaker’s vocal management. Practice-based activities focusing on identifying appropriate pauses revealed that proper use of pauses significantly aids audience comprehension. Breathing exercises were also shown to improve both vocal quality and pacing.

In general, the rhetorical strategies explored abilities such as speaking clearly and accurately as a result of the content, the logical and psychological impact of speech, adhering to pronunciation norms, enhancing diction and vocal capabilities, enriching speech, and structuring it in accordance with logical principles. The article also presents the scientific analysis of speech techniques and their impact on the listener.
