What will be an ideal response?

- The overall impression a speaker's voice makes on listeners is referred to as vocal quality. Vocal quality is a highly accurate indicator of the presenter's sincerity.
- A speaker's intelligibility, the degree to which an audience can hear and understand words, is determined by vocal volume; distinctiveness of sound; accuracy of pronunciation; articulation; and stress placed on syllables, words, and phrases.
- The combination of rate, force, pauses, and pitch variations that add to a speaker's overall vocal quality is called vocal variety. Such variety gives feeling to your delivery and adds emphasis to what you say.
- Student's personal assessments will vary.
