What is the difference between enunciation and pronunciation?

• Enunciation is making a visual connection with the audience and pronunciation is using movement while speaking.
• Enunciation is communicating ideas through facial expression and pronunciation is using our hands while we speak.
• Enunciation is clearly saying the sounds in words and pronunciation is speaking words as they were meant to be spoken.
• Enunciation is monitoring pacing while speaking and pronunciation is monitoring the volume of speaking.

How can nonverbal communication improve a speech?

• Friendly facial expressions and eye contact help make the speech more entertaining.
• Raising the volume level while speaking makes it easier to hear the speaker.
• Pronouncing each word clearly makes it easier to understand what is being said.
• Being a good speaker makes it easier to follow the entire speech from beginning to end.
