1.5. Voice Volume

Voice volume refers to the degree of loudness or the intensity of sound. What you need to know is how to control the volume of your voice so that it is appropriate for the situation in which you are speaking. In general, voice volume must be adjusted to fit these situations, namely

1. speaking face to face;

2. speaking to a group;

3. speaking with electronic equipment.

We would like to point out here that voice volume /loudness/ is classified into normal, increased a) being either louder than usual or b) shouting at the top of one’s voice, and diminished a) speaking in a soft voice or b) very softly indeed.

This is how voice volume is marked:

normal –	is left unmarked
i ncreased	a)
	b)
d iminished	a) -----------------
	b) ……………..

Focus on:

Try these stretches to observe variation of the voice volume. Keep to the marks and practice over the examples to be appropriate for the phonetic style of communication. Remember to use the appropriate rate.
