What is “how to speak in a way that communicates”? We asked a current announcer!

Hello!
This is Inoue, a Persian cat from Beyond Shikoku Office.

, I participated in an online training course on

[How to communicate effectively] taught by current announcers as part of the Satellite Office's next leader development training I would like to share with you the valuable content I learned in this training.
The instructor is Yukiko Miura, an active announcer from Aomori Prefecture who is active in Tokyo.

Just practice! Vocal practice is important

■ Roasted ribs (repeat 5 times)
``Roasted ribs'' This phrase is very difficult to say because I can't get my tongue around it.
You don't have to say it too quickly. It's important to convey this to others.
Everyone reading this blog, please try saying "broiled ribs."
What do you think?
I think there were many people who couldn't say it well. ?
■ Licensing Director, Tokyo Patent and Permit Bureau Rejection of leave permission
Contains many pronunciations of ``kyo'' and ``ka'', which are also difficult to pronounce in a way that conveys them to the other person.
Now, let's take on the challenge of "Tokyo Patent and Permit Bureau Permit Director Rejecting Leave Permit"!
What do you think?
Did you say it well?
I'm kind of good at pronouncing this phrase! (I served it lol)

What is more important than being able to say things smoothly?

What is more important than being able to say things smoothly is being able to convey what you want to convey to the other person.
By adding
[high and low accents]
to this grilled short ribs Pitch accent is when you pronounce a word with a high accent at the beginning and gradually lower the accent.
Therefore, the first pronounced "a" has the highest accent.
The last "bi" is the lowest note.
If you have trouble imagining things or can't get the pitch accent right,
try
``speaking from a distance.'' During my practical training, I imagined a scene called ``Yahoo!'' when I climbed a mountain.
``Speaking into the distance'' doesn't mean raising your voice, so it might be a good idea to imagine it like I did.
It will sound more lively if you add an overly high and low accent.
A low voice will not be smooth and will sound mumbled.
Also, if you speak in a quiet voice, you will speak faster, making it even more difficult for the other person to understand you.
On the other hand, speaking loudly will give you a brighter impression and make you sound more energetic.
■Tokyo Patent and Permit Bureau Licensing Director Leave permission denied
This is difficult to pronounce because there are similar phrases lined up.
However, by separating each word and adding pitch accents, you can make your pronunciation easier to understand to the other person.
For example,
Tokyo/Patent/Permit Office/Permit Director/Vacation/Permit/Reject
, and pronounce the beginning of each word with a high accent.
Phrases can sound confusing if you don't break them up into individual words, but
with a little awareness, you can make it easier for yourself to pronounce it and for the other person to understand it.
Also, one thing that can be said in common ``expressionless'' does not make you look like you are working hard .
Therefore, speaking with your mouth in the shape of ``i'' or ``e'', you will no longer be expressionless, and your voice will also have more expression.
It's similar to the way I often say "lol".
It seems to be difficult to speak naturally in the "i" or "e" shape without putting too much force into your mouth, unless you are conscious of it on a regular basis.

Presenting is the same as choosing a present.

Don't you think it's a nice word?
When I heard this word, I understood that it meant speaking and pronouncing with the other person in mind.
Points to keep in mind when speaking in public:
- When speaking, it is better to keep sentences short

- Honorific language that is simple and conveys the message, such as "desu" and "masu", includes "honorific language," "kenjogo," and "polite language." There are many different types of words, but it seems that polite words are the easiest to convey to others.
Also, when you speak, don't you find it difficult to understand if the sentences are too long?
I think this is true not only when I speak, but also when I write blogs like this.

Miura said, `
`When speaking in public, it's important to use the language you're used to. I think it will still take some time to feel like I've made it.
This is because I have a complex that I have a bad tongue, and I'm really, really bad at speaking in public. . .
However, there will come a time when you will be able to overcome this feeling of weakness by
accumulating successes I want to take on challenges so that I can accumulate success experiences that make me feel like I was able to do it.

Finally

I like participating in this kind of training.
I met new people and learned new things.
The encounters and learnings I have had are precious connections and assets to me.
Will a Persian cat become the next leader of the satellite office? !
That may never happen, but
when I have a junior in the Shikoku office, I want to be someone they can rely on as a person.

Growing every day, moving forward every day.
I have to update myself every day! ! !
Thank you for reading to the end.
