If You Clip Your Words, Your Message Is Getting Lost

Recently I was talking to a woman on the phone and I was continually asking her to repeat herself. When our business was completed, I told her that because of the way she clipped her words, I had missed much of what she was saying. Admittedly, had I been facing her in conversation, it would have been much easier to understand her; however, on the phone where there is no visual support for speech, much of what she was saying was lost.

She was quite interested in my remarks and further questioned me about her speech, informing me that she was a percussionist. At that point, I knew how to make her understand what I was saying by explaining what she was doing in musical terms.

In playing an instrument or in singing, there is a term known as staccato. As my piano teacher explained this to me when I was a child, hit the note as if it were hot. If you liken speech to this term, it means that you are ending your words very quickly without drawing out your sound – almost as if you are bouncing off your words.

The opposite of this effect is known as legato. In music, it means holding the note down. In speech, it means enunciating the word and allowing the sound to last just a bit. It makes your speech very smooth.

It is also important to recognize that clipping your words and speaking too quickly are not the same thing. Fast speech is exactly what it says. Clipped speech, on the other hand, is shortening the articulation of the word.

If you are aware that you are a ‘clipper,' try this exercise.

1. Say the word brown and hold the own just a bit. Now say it again, clipping it. Could you tell the difference?

While it will take some practice and the breaking of some lifelong habits, it is definitely worth the effort to learn to enunciate your words more smoothly. Start listening to yourself when you speak as much as possible. Listen to professional broadcasters and take note of how they sound. Your ear can be your best friend in making legato speech a habit.

The reason for speaking is to be understood and the only way that is going to happen is if you begin to enunciate your words with more precision.

Shure Ulxs14/98 Clip-On Wireless Instrument System J1 $759 The Shure ULXULXS14/98 Standard Wireless Instrument System, includes WB98H/C Clip-On Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone, ULX1 Bodypack Transmitter, and ULXS4 Diversity Receiver.WB98H/C Instrument MicrophoneThe Shure WB98H/C is a premium cardioid condenser instrumental microphone that features transformerless preamplifier circuitry, which improves linearity across the full frequency range. The pickup pattern of the Beta 98H/C provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise.Its high maximum sound pressure level (SPL) enables it to handle the extreme demands of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments. The WB98H/C easily clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the microphone to be easily positioned and secured in place, and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument 'key noise' and other mechanical noise. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the microphone placement during more active performances.ULX1 Wireless Bodypack TransmitterThe low-profile, highly durable body-pack ULX1 has all the characteristics to meet the demands of high performance. For use with headworn, lavalier and instrument microphones, as well as guitars and basses. Attaches to belt, waistband or guitar strap with clip for hands-free mobility.Shure ULXS4 Standard Receiver The Shure ULXS4 Standard receiver offers an exceptional value in both performance and price, for both working musicians and sound installers.
