Active speaking is the release of inner motives, suggestions and perceptions with an effective use of gestures, mime, signs, pantomimes and voice conveying a chosen message live to a listener (audience). This communication does not always have to be live or face to face, but it can be through other kinds of media. When someone is speaking on the telephone; the way he/she uses his voice to convey the message(voice moderation), how he/she responds with clear explanations, how effective he/she understands the points, confidence and readiness to communicate…show how he/she is actively speaking. Active speaking is taking out the whole of you. This may seem complicated to understand, but remember when you are listening to a speech and the speaker says sentences like: “what can I say!” or you can’t see his/her face because he/she has made the whole concentration on reading; this is not an active speaker and it doesn’t demonstrate that he/she is confident about the topic.
