Say It Clearly

If you are a fan of American Idol, America's Got Talent or one of the other talent shows on television you don't have to be told that there is a tremendous resource of undiscovered vocal talent out there but did you also notice a common problem that many of the singers have that could interfered with their goal to become superstars?


That is poor enunciation. How many times have you heard a young woman or man go through their performance with a lovely, powerful voice, but you ended up asking yourself, " What did she say,?" What did he say?" Doesn't this bother you?

Often you can let it slip because of the performer's charismatic performance or rhythm of the song or beat of the music. And to be honest my favourite singers are people like Anne Murray, Kenny Rodgers, and other w hose words are crisp and clear even many veteran, and extremely popular singers are guilty of slurring their words.

They get away with this too because listeners are carried away by their personalities and the power of the song it self, but this type of thing will not work when you are trying to make powerful presentations in front of an audience of business people or other audiences.

You have to have good enunciation and finish up your words clearly or your audience will stop listening to you very quickly and you might as well just send everybody an e-mail and hope you can motivate them that way somehow.

It is essential that you become familiar with the words you plan to use in speech or presentation and then practice them so that they roll off your tongue crisp and clear.
