Volume is generally appropriate for the listener and the occasion.
Articulation is distinct and clear, and pronunciation for the most part is correct, but an occasional lapse in one of these characteristics is noticeable. The speaker sounds interested in the topic and shows some vocal variety. Notes may assist but do not interfere with delivery. Vocalized pauses cause occasional minor distractions. Volume is generally too loud or too soft for the listener and the occasion.
