Good Speech

It is possible to have good speech and to speak with charm if one truly desires to correct un- lovely speech habits. You must frst study yourself and listen to yourself speak. Then you should listen long to a person who speaks very well enunciates clearly, rhythmically, uses correct gram- mar, and has something to say! Use that person as a model and improve your voice and delivery.

In a new book, "Sing Your Way to Better Speech," Miss Gertrude, Walsh stresses the importance of. good posture. She writes: "There is a close relation between a flexi- bly erect posture, and good speech. It is impossible to produce a full rich tone when your body is rigid or when you slump in the chest, or at the waistline. Your chest should always be held easily up and forward, as this helps to establish right conditions for the incoming breath, the very sub- stance of which voice is made,

Then, too, this posture suggests health and mental alertness, whereas slumps, either at the waistline or chest, may indicate. indifference, carelessness, or ill ness. If you establish a line of balance in your body, keep your back straight, and your chest up and forward, your vital organs will have more space for correct. functioning and a vacuum will be created for incoming breath. Such conditions, combined with free- dom of the muscles around the. throat, chest and shoulders, basic for good voice and speech." How To Breathe Correctly

If you find your words stumbling out one after the other îna gibberish manner you might try to memorise these suggestions:
