In what area of vocal delivery does Brittany need to improve and what advice might you provide?
What will be an ideal response
Brittany needs to improve on her articulation, the enunciation of sounds. Since she wants her audience to clearly understand her message, she needs to clearly pronounce her words. She must distinguish between which parts of her nonstandard articulation may be due to a dialect and which simply are due to a habit of slurring or mumbling. Good advice would be for Brittany to pay closer attention to the words and phrases she tends to slur or chop and to practice saying them correctly and distinctly.
