2. Articulation is a process by which
consonants sounds are formed and
differentiated in speech. In this
restricted and specialized sense, the
term enunciation describes the
process by which pure vowel
sounds are produced.
A vowel sound is produced by an
uninterrupted and unmodified
vibration of the vocal bands; while
interruptions and modifications of
these vibrations produce the sounds
which are recognized consonants. It
will be observed that articulation is
achieved largely by movements of
the tongue, lips and jaws.
3. Needs and times demand that each of us
shall be able to make himself heard distinctly
over the phone, most especially among call
center agents and telemarketers. Telephone
operators and people assigned to answer
telephone messages should see to it that they
should have the training to speak clearly
Miscommunication or wrong message given
or accepted may be disastrous.
Other reasons for faulty articulations are:
1.Mumbling words, too far down the throat,
without projection.
2.Muffling words lazy inactivity of lips and
jaws.
3.Garbling words by careless interchange of
wrong for right sounds.

36. Practice to make sure you are not substituting
or omitting sounds when you
say a word, or adding sounds
such as needcessity for
necessity.
Practice reading and
recording passages with
the problem sounds.
Listen to the practice
recording with a
learning partner or
tutor.
37. Pronunciation is the way of saying the
ideas or feelings properly, So don’t be
shy to say your feelings for the person
you love Unconditionally.
