Describing sounds is the same as sniffing artificial flowers: seemingly the same shape, the same colors, but something very important is missing. Telling another person about your own speech sounds like breathing in the synthetic scent of an artificial flower. Nevertheless, you can still describe your speech.
Instructions
Step 1
Sound characteristics
Determine the timbre of your voice, its tone. Indicate the volume at which you speak most often. Use images familiar to people for comparison: quieter than a cat purrs, loudly, like a spring stream, loudly, like a siren, and the like. Describe how clear your speech is to understand by sound, how clearly separate words in a sentence and letters in a word are distinguishable in it.
Step 2
Emotional characteristics
In writing, the emotional coloring of speech is formed by punctuation marks, while in oral speech, significant words or parts of sentences are highlighted in intonations. Determine how rich your speech is in intonation: do you often try to convey different moods with the help of your voice: joy, resentment, rage, or your speech is rather colorless and monotonous.
Step 3
Language constructs and style
Observe yourself and find out which sentences you use most often in oral speech: short and simple or long (complex, complex). Describe how correctly you pronounce the words, whether you put stress on the desired syllable or ignore the rules of the language. Whether your vocabulary is rich, how often professional terms or "parasite words" appear in speech.
Step 4
Distinctive features
Describe what distinguishes your speech from the speech of other people: are there any speech defects (stuttering, lisping). Perhaps you "swallow" the endings of words, or, conversely, draw out words. Determine the tempo of speech: you speak quickly, as if the words do not keep up with the thoughts, or, conversely, you are silent for a long time before continuing the thought. Determine how often you pause between words: your speech is smooth and continuous, or abrupt.
Step 5
Visual effects
Other details can help to complement the impression of what your speech is. Describe how mobile the muscles of your face are during a conversation, how expressive your facial expressions are. How often do you gesture, whether you do it all the time or only in extreme cases.
