Articulation is the key to successful and professional communication in the business world.

Articulation is the meat and potatoes, the bread and butter of speech. According to the dictionary, articulation is, "The power of speech ... divided into clear and distinct words."

Well-articulated speech calls for:

Energized consonants.

Sentences that flow smoothly, using pauses not gaps.

Pronunciation of all syllables.

Articulation at ending consonants.

Consistent pronunciation of vowels.

Energy maintained throughout the entire sentence.

It takes energy to speak with good articulation. You can have the most beautiful voice in the world but if the consonants are missing or sluggish, the beautiful voice will have little effect.
