Clear pronunciation
To make oral messages meaningful to receivers, words should be clearly and correctly pronounced. There should not be any lack of clarity, otherwise, the communication would be confusing.
Brevity

Precision

Natural voice
Any sort of unnatural voice may distort the message. Natural voice can do a lot to make oral communication effective.
Logical sequence
Ideas should be organized in a sequential way to make the message communicative and attractive. Unorganized ideas do not provide a clear sense while a logical sequence of ideas gives a clear sense.
Suitable words
