The Impact of Pace and Pitch in Public Speaking

Effective public speaking requires adjusting pace and pitch to engage different audiences. Slowing down and speaking with a steady pace can help individuals be heard and understood by those who think differently. However, speaking slower can reduce excitement levels. Varying the pacing and pitch can alternate between energetic and impactful delivery, while also allowing time for the audience to absorb the message. A skillful public speaker knows how to naturally transition between different tones and utilize range, volume, and pace to engage and captivate the audience.
