I have chosen volume, clarity, and expressiveness. Volume in public speaking is important because the volume rate determines how soothing one’s speech can be. The environment does play an important role here because in a small room a speaker should not deliver the speech in the same volume like in the large room (Gregory, 2018). A speaker needs to control the volume depending on the area where he/she is going to deliver speech.
