ABSTRACT
Speech communication involves the ability to understand and be understood. One of life's most important functions is the ability to communicate effectively with others. Communication, at its core, is an amazing process. In a current view, communication is similar to Bluetooth wireless technology between the speaker and the receiver of a message. Becoming a more competent communicator will increase our ability to create more vivid images in the minds of our audiences, coworkers, or bosses. Five elements are involved in the speech communication process: a speaker, a message, a channel, an audience, and a response. In order to ensure that the listener attends to the message and understands it, the speaker must encode it in a language that is both interesting and clear. Communication breakdowns occur because of some failure in the communication process. Communication breakdowns occur at some point during the speech situation. The success or failure of a communication is determined by audience response.
