Diction Exercises

DICTION EXERCISES

       Even if your speech contents are thoughtful and profound, you need to know how to deliver them effectively. Your Expressions need audience! The great leaders who have ruled and enlightened the world have all been great orators. Great Orators are lucid and flamboyant in their enunciation. It is not that all are born great rhetoricians. Never mind if you are not gifted, a certain degree of effort and articulation exercises can do wonders for your oratory skills. Most people believe that those who are born with speech impediments only require articulation exercises. It is not true though. Those who aspire to be voice over artists, stand-up performers or even great orators need a couple of simple techniques up their sleeve for greater success. 

      These techniques are what enables them to speak more lucidly and emphatically. Children make erroneous pronunciation at the initial stages, which are particularly amusing and frivolous. However if after a certain age, it doesn't change then the child is said to be suffering from some kind of speech disorder. In such cases, articulation exercises may be of immense help in overcoming and even eliminating the impediments. If a child is diagnosed with speech disorder, it is suggested that these techniques must be adopted and implemented by their parents at the very inception.

        Here are some articulation exercises, which will enable you to gain command on your verbal communications.

1. Try to gain a better control over your tongue. Talk to your self when you are alone or read aloud. It will allow your tongue to have a great deal of flexibility and agility. It will lead you to possess an absolute command over your tongue, and you will turn into a flamboyant speaker.

2. Articulation disorders are often due to inefficacy of the muscles involved. Running the tongue around the walls of the mouth and stretching the jaws are good exercises to start with. Chewing gum and sucking through straws are good for mouth muscles. Practice tongue twisters as frequently as possible. Try to be really fast while reciting tongue twisters and maintain clarity. If you falter, start again. While speaking publicly, speak slowly and carefully., putting desired stress upon every word. Sprout every word as clearly as possible.

3.Recite a poem or narrate a story and record it. Listen to it afterwards. It will help you to figure out the words or letters you need to put more emphasis on. Take note and amend the flaws. Keep repeating the process and keep comparing with the last results.

4. One must get an idea of how his or her mouth moves while speaking. Pick some dialogue from your favourite movie and try to mimic the style in which it was delivered. Stand and speak in front of a mirror. You will know how your mouth moves while speaking and consult an expert on how you should go about it in order to cure the anomalies, if any.

5. Collect some of the great speeches of great orators and listen to them over and over again. Notice where and when they pause. How certain words or phrases are stressed or emphasized on. Imitate and consider yourself for a moment to be one of them. speak the way they did and recalibrate your speech. For instance, Swami Vivekananda's great speech at the art institute of Chicago is an epitome of the art of oration. Listen to it carefully and practice.

6. Talk to your family members without the fear of being ribbed or mocked at. Talk as much as possible in order to overcome the obstacles you are facing regarding your speech. Recite a poem or read a story aloud in front of them even if you are facing difficulties in the process and faltering repeatedly at certain words or sounds. Do it on a regular basis. Don't be afraid. Your intimate ones won't ridicule you even if you are severely lacking in your oratory skills. However it will certainly give your moral a boost for public speaking. Let them express their opinions and help you know the areas where you are facing most difficulties and how they think it should be done.

Comparision of Radio with some other medias

Hey guys.. Lets Start the journey of learning from a brief overview of the Radio industry, its history and its Importance. So let me compare and tell you first why Radio is better media than other medias like TV and Newspaper.
Radio V/S Television
Traditionally a high cost medium, the downside with the TV is that the audience is now fragmented across many different channels, production costs are extremely high and viewers are increasingly avoiding add breaks.

What Radio can add:
In Planning

  • Radio's main contribution is a dramatic increase in frequency of exposures, either in the same period as the TV campaign.
  • Extend the campaign over time; radio can be used for regional or local exposure booster;
  • Radio can be used to reach light viewers; radio extends TV messages to key times of day when TV audiences are lower or when product relevance is higher (such as afternoon meal time for Pizza marketer);
  • Radio also allows tighter targeting against many audiences(ex- youths) thus reducing wastage.

In Communication
Given that radio is perceived as personal medium, radio can bring brand closer and speak to the consumer at their level (this is important for brands which do not wish to be seen as distant); radio has a culture of response where listeners frequently interact with their station which they see as accessible.

Radio V/S Newspaper
What Radio adds:
In Planning

  • Radio adds frequency, and this is real frequency in that exposure take place in real time;
  • Radio also reaches non-readers so it can significantly increase coverage; in most sectors,
  • Radio also means increased share of voice thus overcoming clutter


Radio V/S Magazines
High level of clutter, and the reader's inclination to simply turn the page.
In Communication

  • Radio brings intrusiveness to a magazine campaign, and there is less add avoidance;
  • Radio can bring to life many ideas which might seem flat on the page
  • Radio can more strongly convey the advertising tone of voice (important for service brands);
  • Radio allows brands to speak to consumers close to certain activities- driving, cooking, housework etc.
