Welcome to Young Orations, language elocution contest to recognise excellence in oratory skills of young Indian learners of three foreign languages.
Being able to speak clearly is back in fashion - suddenly people are realising that we all need to be able to talk clearly. We all want to feel confident when we talk. Although we can now communicate using emails or WhatsApp or Facebook or simply texts - the spoken word is still the most effective way of communicating and mumbling is not acceptable.
Not communicating clearly can prevent us from getting on in life. This skill is one of the most important skills you can master.
Talking with expression doesn't mean being dramatic, it means using your voice to sound interesting and exciting. If you sound expressive, people will want to listen to you.
Good articulation (saying the ends of words and correct vowel sounds) and accent reduction can also be achieved with practice - but a lot of people love their accent so it's worth remembering that you can sound clear and confident with an accent as long as you speak clearly, and that usually means not talking too fast!.
