Expressividade no rádio: a prática fonoaudiológica em questão

Abstract

Purpose: To analyze, based on speech-language pathologists reports, how oral expressiveness has been approached with radio professionals in Brazil. Methods: Six speech-language pathologists experienced in working with radio professionals answered semistructured interviews that were transcribed and categorized according to general performance characteristics and to the expressiveness concept. Categories were illustrated with excerpts of the participants' interviews. Results: Speech-Language Pathology intervention happens similarly in schools for announcers and within radio stations. The prevention of vocal disorders has considerable space in these practices, and mostly occurs in the form of orientations regarding vocal health. The term oral expressiveness is relatively new, and, at times the meaning of the message is conveyed by the speaker's individual characteristics, by the content of the text message, or by the style of a particular station. Intervention aims include strategies approaching pause, voice quality, resonance, articulation, pitch, loudness, speed and breathing. The most used strategy is the reading of texts of different genres, including radio subjects. Conclusion:The term oral expressiveness is not generally used by the subjects interviewed, due to the fact that its concept is new to them. The term comprises the conveyance of emotions and intention by the speaker. The following aspects were considered to interfere on oral expressiveness: listeners' judgment; adequacy of the speech to the context; style of the radio station; and textual content of the message, evidencing the dynamics between subjective and social. More theoretical studies in Linguistics may subsidize less conceptually diverse practices when considering speech-language interventions.

Fonoaudiologia nas práticas educacionais de formação de jornalistas – estudo de revisão

“…Há necessidades e dificuldades ainda a serem superadas na Fonoaudiologia, referentes às práticas de expressividade, identificadas em estudos anteriores 18,19 : as restrições no emprego da terminologia expressividade, as divergências conceituais e de nomenclaturas dos recursos que a integram, dentre outras que consolidam a idéia de que avanços são necessários, nos modos de se conceber, pensar e trabalhar a expressividade.…”

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

“…Other studies When analyzing the data in the general expressiveness after training, it is noticed that those changes happened mainly in the melodic curve, emphasis and pause (75%). These parameters are considered essential for a good voiceover 3,16 , because they are intimately related to the speaker's communicative intention as well as to the judgement of the listener; they interfere substantially in the differentiation between the professional emission and the spontaneous emission, so that the television reporters look for to develop them, in view of their influence on credibility and clarity aspects 17,18 . This fact is important, because such aspects are the most expected lines in the communication of the telejournalists according to the theoretical framework of the concept of vocal psychodynamic 3,16 .…”

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

“…Teaching-learning issues Small groups of participants Principles of andragogy Guided by a voice specialist Terminology used by speech-language pathologists Audiovisual recording of the training Promotion of oral communication consistent with discourse Self-perception and awareness in oral communication Exercises of oral reading and connected speech concepts and practices, making the necessary adjustments to their professional reality and enhancing their work strategies so that the group achieves an even better performance. Finally, since the publication of studies in this area became more frequent, the specialized literature presents a lack of terminology common to speech-language pathologists working with verbal expressivity (10) . This theme deserves further reflection and debate, but it is not the focus of discussion of this study.…”

“…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.…”
