Being good at telling a story is a skill. And that skill can be learned. In this episode, we’ll watch America Ferrera as she masterfully builds her speech, and learn how emphasizing operative words is key to a good speech. We’ll also pay attention to the way she uses her pitch and tone of voice to convey her feelings, and how the rhythm and the pauses she takes support her message and make her speech more compelling and engaging.
