‘Throwaway’ delivery
Symptom: When your voice trails off on the last word or two of a sentence. This makes them sound unimportant and sometime unintelligible and can be another pattern of talking that you don’t realise you have adopted.
Prescription: In news and commercial scripts, the last words may be vital to the item. A pay-off, a punchline or a kicker, as discussed in episode 309, complete with a joke!
· Review the sense of the sentence and ensure you know what the point is, of what you are being asked to say, and what words to lift or subdue.
· Be careful (and this may sound obvious!) to sound the complete word and not drop off the last syllable.
· Concentrate on what you are saying before being caught up with what you are going to say next and throwing away words in the rush to get to it.
