Explain how you can pitch your voice properly during a speech.
What will be an ideal response?
Pitch is the highness or lowness of your voice on a tonal scale; it is your voice’s upward or downward inflection. Like a pitcher varies location and speed when he throws a baseball, hoping to make it difficult for the batter to anticipate the coming pitch, we vary our voices to avoid talking in a monotone and to add expressiveness to our words. Audiences judge a speaker who varies his or her pitch to be more lively, animated, and interesting. You will need to learn how to vary pitch and also consider the effects of stereotypes.
