Teaching Tip 361 | “Plain Speaking - Speak With an Interesting and Clear Voice” | Malcolm Cox
Introduction
Here is your 2-minute tip based on the book, “Plain speaking: How to preach and teach effectively" by David Bercot.
It is crucial to know what we are talking about and present it with confidence and conviction. However, what difference does the quality of our voice make? Bercot makes this observation:
“In daily conversation, we seem naturally to know how to make our voice pleasant and interesting. We rarely speak in a monotone when talking to friends. but somehow when we’re in front of a congregation we forget to do what comes naturally. That’s why every speaker needs to consciously speak with modulation.” 85
What does this look like?
What are your thoughts on cultivating an interesting and clear voice?

Has today’s tip been worth two minutes of your time? I hope so.
