The noun modulation has several
meanings, including a change of key in
music or of the sound of a person's
voice.
It always involves deliberate modification
or slight change, like an actor adjusting
his pitch or volume depending on the
role he's playing or the mood of the
scene. The Latin root, modulationem,
has a musical meaning: "rhythm, singing
and playing, or melody”.
36. In simple words modulation is defined
as “manner of speaking in which
the loudness, pitch, or tone of the
voice is modified.”
It is rise and fall of voice pitch. Proper
intonation and voice modulation is key
for language fluency and etiquette.

listener to understand how the words are
being spoken in languages based on the
inflection patterns and emphasis on
certain words.

the emotion it is called as modulation.

changing the tone, stress on words,
pitch and tempo of speech while
talking.

into audience captivating one.
39. Elements of Voice modulation
Volume (Loudness)- It plays a vital role to
give clarity in speech. It is necessary to be
loud enough to reach the audience or the
recipient but at the same time it should
not end up in shouting.
Pitch (Rise and fall)- When we speak our
voice create high and low sounds.
Vary your speech by using high and low
sounds. Modulate to stress certain
keywords while speaking.
40. Pace (Rate)-
Determine your normal pace of speech,
slow down a little but do not speak in a
monotone. Speed up your delivery while
discussing fewer interesting facts.
Pause (Silence)- One way to achieve
successful pace is to use pause. Pause to
ask for and to answer question, to allow
idea to sink in, and to use references.
Pauses don’t lengthen the speech, they
improvise it.
41. Resonance (Timbre)- Resonance is
voice quality that results from sound
vibrations in the pharynx (throat), oral
cavity (mouth) and nasal cavity
(nose).
Intonation- It complements the rise
and fall of the voice while speaking.
The three main patter of intonation in
English are
42. ◦ Falling Intonation – Falling intonation
describes how the voice falls on the final
stress syllable of phrase or word. A falling
intonation is common in wh- questions.
e.g., Where is the nearest Post-office?
What time does lecture finish?
Falling intonation is used while saying
something definite.
e.g., ‘I think we are completely lost.’
43. ◦ Rising Intonation- It describes how the
voice rises at the end of a sentence. It is
common is Yes- No questions.
e.g., Are you hungry?
44. ◦ Fall-rise intonation – It describes how
the voice falls and then rises. While
making uncertain statements we normally
take help of this intonation pattern.
e.g., I don’t support any IPL team now.
(But I may change my opinion in
future)

reading extensively. The most
valuable words are those which you
can recall and reuse in your
conversation.

words effectively and correctly.
