Develop your Telephone Speaking Skills. Tip #4: Speak Clearly
Have you ever spoken to someone on the phone who
spoke so softly you that you could not hear them? Was it frustrating? Often,
when we feel nervous or uncomfortable, we speak softly or quietly. This can be
very challenging for others on the telephone. To improve your ability to speak
clearly, practice! Practicing will help you to develop confidence and become
comfortable with the words and sounds in English.
A great way to do this is to record yourself and
listen to yourself speak. Yes, really! Use your smartphone or laptop to record
yourself. It is 100% effective in helping you improve your spoken English.
It will help
you:
– Perfect what
you want to say;
– Improve your
pronunciation;
– Correct
grammar mistakes;
– Become comfortable with your voice in English.
