6. Volume Volume is how loud or soft your voice is. You should speak loudly enough so that everyone in the room can hear you, but not so loud that it sounds like shouting. Adjust your volume depending on the space and the size of the audience.

7. Tone Tone is the feeling or attitude in your voice. It helps show how you feel about what you’re saying. For example, a friendly tone can make the audience feel comfortable, while a serious tone can show that your topic is important.

8. Pitch is how high or low your voice sounds. Changing your pitch helps you avoid sounding flat or boring. A varied pitch can highlight key points and keep your listeners focused, making it easier for them to follow your speech. Pitch

9. Pace Pace is how fast or slow you speak. If you speak too fast, people may not understand you. If you speak too slowly, they may lose interest. A good speaker uses a steady pace and pauses for effect to give the audience time to think.

10. Gestures Gestures are hand and arm movements that help you communicate your ideas. Using natural gestures can help emphasise important points and keep your audience interested. Avoid overusing them.
