Term
things needed to produce sound
Definition
force, vibrator, medium
Term
processes in producing speech sounds
Definition
innervation, breathing, phonation, resonance, articulation
Term
innervation
Definition
many nerve impulses to body working together to produce speech
Term
breathing (def)
Definition
process of respiration (inhaling & exhaling)
Term
Are lungs active or passive?
Definition
Passive
Term
Inhaling
Definition
diaphragm contracts
chest muscles help lift/separate ribs
creates space for lungs
air pressure changes (lower in lungs)
Term
Exhalation
Definition
muscles relax
everything goes to original place
lungs are pushed
air pressure changes (higher in lungs)
Term
breathing to live
Definition
passive
smooth flowing
shallow
inhale & exhale same rate
involuntary; reflexive
Term
breathing to speak
Definition
active
rough/broken; inconsistent
deep
inhale quickly, exhale slowly
voluntary; controlled
Term
power & energy source, for speaking
Definition
air
Term
Components of breathing
Definition
Diaphragm (MOST IMPORTANT), Lungs, Chest muscles
Term
types of breathing (ways to breathe)
Definition
Diaphragmatic, Clavicular
Term
voice (articulation)
Definition
vocal expression, utterance; manner of producing speech sound
Term
diction
Definition
choice & use of words in speech; distinctiveness of pronunciation
Term
bad speech habits
Definition
sloppy, slurred
artsy, affected
Term
factors affecting speech improvement
Definition
motivation, objectivity, definition of goals, rationalization, avoiding problems, defensiveness
Term
Good speaking voice must have:
Definition
pleasant quality, clear articulation, appropriate loudness, expressiveness, unobtrusive pronunciation
Term
errors of quality
Definition
breathy, thin, strident
harsh, nasal, denasal (stuffed)
throaty, vocal fry, glottal shock
Term
means of expressiveness
Definition
ease & flexibility; NOT forced or labored, monotonous or dull; variety
Term
errors of pronunciation
Definition
overdone, reversals, omissions
substitutions, intrusions, misplaced stress
Term
dialect
Definition
variety of language, within a language
Term
accent
Definition
sound of speaker's 1st language carried into another language
Term
Pyramid to proper speech
Definition
relaxation, posture, breathing, production
Term
relaxing helps with:
Definition
topophobia, glossophobia
Term
how to produce speech
Definition
exhalation, phonation, articulation, resonation
Term
phonation (def)
Definition
making of sound as air converts to energy
production of sound using the larynx

not necessarily intelligible (ie gasp, yell)
Term
pitch (def)
Definition
high or low of voice
Term
how pitch is determined
Definition
length of vocal folds
Term
what resonation does (notes def)
Definition
increases & enriches intensity of sound by increasing rate of energy output over shorter period of time
further modifies energy
Term
resonation (book def)
Definition
amplification & modification of sound by vocal cavities
Term
resonators
Definition
nose, mouth, pharynx
Term
what affects resonation
Definition
physical makeup, using the pyramid, vocal quality
Term
Quality is determined by:
Definition
contact of vocal folds, degree of tension, force of sound release, use of resonators
Term
cognate
Definition
sounds produced in same place, same way, with same articulators; but only 1 is voiced
Term
vowels of Spoken English
Definition
speech sounds produced without breath obstruction
Term
place
Definition
part of tongue primarily responsible for producing vowel
Term
Volume tips
Definition
too much is better than too little
increase volume, not pitch
Term
errors of volume
Definition
constricting muscles, allowing pitch to rise, keeping jaw too tight, practice space too small
Term
intensity (def)
Definition
degree of force applied to individual sounds occurring in thought sequences
Term
purpose of intensity
Definition
tells listeners what parts of one's speech are important, no matter the volume
Term
uses of intensity
Definition
compare/contrast, subordinate, strong feeling
Term
how to develop projection
Definition
proper pitch, max resonance, increase breath pressure, vocal quality, rate control, clear articulation, energy
Term
why study speech?
Definition
learn to communicate well, have an effective Christian testimony
Term
factors effecting speech improvement
Definition
