Question

the day has finally come, and you’re ready to record. you and your guest speakers are finalizing the script before you begin filming the episode. as you’re discussing the conversation, you inform your guest speakers that you would like to maintain a formal tone. one of the guests mentions they only know a formal tone as being a presenter in a large convention center and asks what you mean by formal tone for the video.
how can you describe a formal tone to your guest speaker for an online presentation?
○ speak clearly and explain any technical or academic language the audience may not know.
○ incorporate jokes so the audience knows you have a sense of humor.
○ speak quickly so that you can cover as many points as possible.
○ use slang and casual language to relate to younger audience members.

Explanation:

A formal tone in an online presentation involves clear communication and ensuring the audience understands complex terms. Incorporating jokes (second option) is more casual. Speaking quickly (third option) can hinder clarity, and using slang (fourth option) is informal. The first option, speaking clearly and explaining technical/academic language, aligns with a formal tone.

Answer:

A. Speak clearly and explain any technical or academic language the audience may not know.
