This document provides information on principles of oral communication. It discusses five key principles: 1) Articulation, which refers to clarity of sounds and words; 2) Modulation, which includes rate, volume and pitch of voice; 3) Stage presence, the ability to engage an audience; 4) Facial expressions and gestures, which help set the emotional tone; and 5) Rapport, creating a connection with the audience. It provides examples and exercises to demonstrate these principles in practice, such as varying pitch and pausing to emphasize points. The document emphasizes that clear articulation, voice modulation, engaging presentation style and connecting with the audience are important for effective oral communication.

13. FIRST
PRINCIPLE:
ARTICULATION
Speaking with clear and distinct
sounds
Correct way of saying and
pronouncing words

14. FIRST PRINCIPLE:
ARTICULATION
Proper breathing techniques
together with the correct molding
of sounds that make up words
contribute to efficient articulation.

15. ARTICULATENESS
PRACTICE
I am a
glorious
Filipino – inheritor of a
past, hostage to the
uncertain future. As such, I must
prove equal to a two-fold task – the
task of meeting my responsibility to
the past and the task of performing
my obligation to the future.

16. SECOND
PRINCIPLE:
MODULATION
Pertains to adjusting or manipulating
the resonance and timbre of one’s
voice as one speaks
Modulating your voice catches your
listeners’ interest and attention.

17. SECOND PRINCIPLE:
MODULATION
High pitch sounds more exciting
and engaging. It is used when
referring for action, excitement, or
passion.

18. SECOND PRINCIPLE:
MODULATION
Low pitch conveys authority
and very serious tone of voice.
It conveys confidence.

19. SECOND PRINCIPLE:
MODULATION
Fast pace sounds more exciting
and engaging but must be clear
(not very fast). It conveys energy
and enthusiasm.

20. SECOND PRINCIPLE:
MODULATION
Slow pace emphasizes an idea or
concept and makes it land powerfully
in the ease of the listeners. It is used
for tricky and complicated statements.

21. SECOND PRINCIPLE:
MODULATION
• Adjust your modulation based on the
communicative situation. For example,
considering how one will modulate one’s
voice when speaking with a microphone.

22. MODULATION
PRACTICE
Across the centuries the memory comes rushing
back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to
sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were
stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon
the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried
upon the mighty swell of hope–hope in the free
abundance of new land that was to be their home
and their children’s forever.

23. THIRD PRINCIPLE:
STAGE
PRESENCE
Refers to the speaker’s
ability to “own” the stage,
fill the space, and project
his or her personality to
the audience.

24. THIRD PRINCIPLE:
STAGE PRESENCE
Overcoming stage fright, the opposite of
stage presence
No one is immune from stage fright. Other
people just manage it better and create what
we see as stage presence.

25. FOURTH PRINCIPLE:
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS,
GESTURES, AND
MOVEMEN
T
Nonverbal communication reinforces,
clarifies, and complements the
message of any speech.

26. FOURTH PRINCIPLE:
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS,
GESTURES, AND
MOVEMENT
Facial expressions
should change with the
content of the speech
being delivered.

27. FOURTH PRINCIPLE:
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS,
GESTURES, AND
MOVEMEN
T
Gestures should
emphasize only
certain points.

28. FOURTH PRINCIPLE:
FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, GESTURES, AND
MOVEMENT
• Movement should allow the speaker to carry the speech
around, forward, and to the audience, metaphorically speaking.
It should also direct the audience to follow the speaker and keep
them hanging on his/her every word.

29. FIFTH PRINCIPLE:
AUDIENCE
RAPPORT
Connecting with the
audience at a deeper level
Delivering a speech that
appeals to the audience

31. “ You can speak well if
your tongue can
deliver the message of
your heart ”

33. Struggle is the father of all things. It is not

lives or is able to preserve himself above
the animal world, but solely by means of
the most brutal struggle. If you do not
light, life will never be won
Adolf Hitler

34. A true teacher does not
terrorize ignorant students ,
because a true teacher

35. I have a dream that
one day this nation will

36. I have a dream that my
four little children will
one day live in a nation

37. Live as if you were to die
tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to
live forever.
Mahatma Gandhi

38. And so, my fellow
American: ask not what
your country can do for

for you, but what together
we can do for the freedom
John F. Kennedy
