Expressividade vocal e corporal para falar bem no telejornalismo: resultados de treinamento

Abstract

Purpose: to describe the changes of vocal and gestural features a story crossing simulation for television after speech training journalism students. Methods: longitudinal study, which was attended by 23 students of the Social Communication course, of both genders, with a mean age of 22 years. A theoretical and practical training of vocal and gestural expressiveness for presentations in television journalism was given to the students. The volunteers were randomly divided into two groups -training and control groups. To evaluate the effect of training two procedures were used: general self-assessment of expressiveness and of the speech therapist assessment of the vocal aspects, body and overall expressiveness. Results: of the 12 participants in the training group, nine (75%) showed positive changes, especially in the general expression and in the parameters melodic curve, emphasis and pauses (75%). The parameters that were less modified were loudness (5.33%) and resonance (25%). In the control group, 70% of participants had the general expression and the specific parameters considered as similar pre and post training. After the training the participants of the training group self-rated general expression as positive (average grade 8.2) and pointed out that the training contributed to the professional training (average grade 9.8).Conclusion: the training "vocal expressiveness and body to speak well in television journalism" causes changes in the expression of Journalism students. The improvement is significant to the overall expression, emphasis, melodic curve and pauses. The self-assessment showed greater change in the overall expressiveness after training in relation to the speech therapist assessment.

Mapeamento do eixo condutor da prática fonoaudiológica em expressividade verbal no trabalho de competência comunicativa

“…The participating speech-language pathologists also considered that the work in communicative competence is composed, mainly, of expressivity exercises that aim to foster communication consistent with the context and intention of discourse, develop self-perception, and improve communication. The approach of oral expressivity has been part of SLP practice for approximately 40 years, both in rehabilitation and intervention with the voice professional (4)(5)(6)8,9) .…”

“…Exercises with connected speech, simulations, and oral reading of texts with different emotions were mentioned as strategies of expressivity work. Proposals for expressivity exercises involving the use of pause, intonation, emphasis, speech rate, and articulation of sounds are available in the specific scientific literature (4)(5)(6)8,9,12) . Such resources are often stimulated in situations where text interpretation is previously programmed and the way of using resources such as emphasis, pause, and modulation is pre-established, which may fail to mobilize the exercise of comprehension and construction of the meaning of discourse by participants.…”

“…This theme deserves further reflection and debate, but it is not the focus of discussion of this study. It is worth mentioning that most surveys in this area have adopted the terms and expressions most frequently found in publications (4)(5)(6)8,9,12) . While the use of a common terminology is not well determined, it seems important that authors ensure that the expressions and terms used are always accompanied by their definitions and conceptualizations in search of a better understanding among peers.…”

“…Speech-language Pathology (SLP) training in communicative competence fosters enhancement of oral communication. It is a set of strategies with the main objective of offering individuals better conditions of voice production and oral communication (2,3) , and include guidance and vocal and verbal expressivity exercises (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9) .…”

“…In Brazil, the work with verbal expressivity is an approach that has permeated the main SLP strategies used to improve the oral communication of voice professionals for many years (10) . Although studies have demonstrated the positive effects of vocal training with promising results (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9) , the experimental designs, methodologies, and procedures employed differ greatly between them. Lack of detailed description and standardization of used procedures hinders comparison between studies and a more robust data collection (2) .…”
