are all around us, from the day we are born
until the rest of our lives. How many times have you seen communication
skills required for a job in the classifieds and wonder what it actually

One communication skill is speaking, by far one of the most
important skill we posses. To be a good speaker one must be able to convey
ideas clearly and briefly. One must also have a clear and pleasant tone to
his or her voice. This makes the person you are talking to more attentive,
thus, more interested. The speaker must also be aware of his environment
and the people he is speaking to. Environment plays a lot with what you say

you're talking to even more comfortable with what you are trying to convey
with your thoughts and ideas. This is how different things can effect one's
communication skill, speaking.

whole conversation without even saying a word. Sign language is an
excellent example of this, one can spend there whole life communicating

person is trying to express themselves. Speaking and body language goes
hand to hand, without gestures when talking one cannot truly explain
certain things to someone. Also there is no visual effect for the person
listening. When there is sound as well as some kind of visual movement one
is more interested in what someone is trying to say. Through body language
one can tell if a person is ...
