Voice Analysis Two: Transcription of Portfolio Four

For this quiz, you will be working on evaluating your voice applying the components we
have been working on recently: Content word stress (prominent), Function words
(non-stressed), and identifying speech units.

Task 1:​ Using your Pitches or the last Audio we did and transcribe the first 1:30 minutes of
recorded audio and paste it into the document here.

Task 2:​ ​On the transcript, mark all the speech units and (use the slash (/) as we practiced in class)
and mark the stress in the ​CONTENT WORDS​ in the first 1:30 minutes of Portfolio 4 AS YOU SAID
THEM IN PORTFOLIO 4. Listen a few times so you can capture each of them.

Task 3:​ Paste your transcript in the box below a second time. On the transcript, mark all the speech
units and mark the stress in the CONTENT words AS THEY SHOULD BE. Use a dictionary and the
VOICE ANALYSIS materials used in class.

Task 4:​ Listen to your recording and use the analysis chart below to grade your voice. Write
strengths and areas to improve accordingly.

​ rite a paragraph to compare the two analyses. Use the following questions to help
Task 5: W
you.

● How did you improve between the first analysis and the second?
● What did you do differently in the second analysis?
● What have you learned through the process?

When I checked the first Voice Analysis, I took all my failures in account to make this time a better
one. In the last Voice A. I had issues with the organization of my speech, I thought a lot about what to
say next and used a lot of crutches. This time, my idea was more clever and straight to the point, I cut
off the problems that I had before, and developed the pitch in a way that I could catch my audience
with every word I mentioned. I've learned how to be a good speaker, and how to develop my speech
in a concise and accurate way.
