COMMUNICATION SKILLS UNIT 2 
“Modulation”
REPEAT THESE EXPRESSIONS…
“I don’t believe it”
“It wasn’t me!!”
“I’m so sorry!!”
“Stop or I’ll shoot!!”
“Congratulations!!”
When we think of these expressions we 
naturally assume they will be accompanied 
with a specific tone in the voice….. 
A tone that indicates: 
Sorrow! Excitement! Joy! Anxiety! Surprise! 
etc
This form of speech is summed up in one 
word: 
MODULATION!!!
Lets take a look at an example….
OMG HOW BORING!!!
This is where once again we must 
remember our voice is an INSTRUMENT!! 
We must adjust the volume… The pitch… 
The pace… 
The results?
Vis Lets take a look at a 
good example!! 
Take note of words and 
expressions where the 
speaker changed his 
pitch… Pace… and 
added more power to 
his voice!!!
What are your thoughts on his use of 
modulation….?
HOW TO MODULATE….
• Ask yourself: What is my goal? 
Is it to motivate? 
Greater volume or a warm tone 
Is it to inform? 
A steady and clear pace is 
necessary
Used skillfully, a lower tone 
followed by an louder tone 
can be effective and create 
anticipation.
Allowing your material to dictate the speed 
and tone can be very forceful! 
To highlight main 
point: Slower more 
precise pace, lower 
tone! 
Excitement: Speak 
more rapidly and with 
higher tone
Allow the emotion 
we want to convey 
and the material we 
are using to steer 
our use of 
modulation!
Check this out….
24 
STEPS TO SUCCESS…. 
STEP 1 ADJUST VOLUME 
STEP 2 
CHANGE PACE 
STEP 3 
VARY PITCH
Lets Practice….
If you’re a fast speaker (over 150 words per minute), take a 
full two seconds to say each of the following words: 
droopy roar lovely glimmer rustle lonely crash 
grumble snowflake 
sluggish stroll fluffy gloomy luscious merry passion 
hush happy 
sputter murmur stretch moan lover delicious grisly 
rumble
If you’re a slow speaker (less than 120 words per minute), 
say each of the following words rapidly: 
flick glib tip snap clip nit flip chip 
pip blip fib flit dip glint bit snit click 
Write a one-page composition describing your daily activity. 
Then read it aloud. If you are a slow speaker, read it as 
rapidly as you can. If you are a fast speaker, lengthen the 
time you spend saying each word.
