- Cleanliness- Applies to reducing the mouth’s noise, so there are no unwanted clicks and other noises.
- Consistency – The willingness, every time, to produce good results.
- Relevance – The delivery should be completely in line with what you are reading. That makes it sound real and credible.

- By diaphragm, inhale
- Pause (and frame your mouth to start vowel/line consonant)
- Offer the right projection line
- Deliver the line with the right intention and purpose etc.
