Give one example of a situation in which speech performance may be impaired.
I was going to say background noise, but I believe that the teacher is looking for a performance error. Thanks!
A foreign accent
Poor grammar
Voice that doesn't project
Monotone
Looking at the viewing screen or the laptop/powerpoint instead of the audience.
Not having a good opening and ending.
Talking too long.
I had to give a talk in a hall at Georgia Tech and the acoustics had a nice echo in the room, I cut my remarks short. No one could stand it...and it couldn't have been ME.

However, since you only need one, you have a wide choice. I hope this helps a little more.
One example of a situation in which speech performance may be impaired is when an individual experiences a speech disorder or a condition that affects their ability to communicate effectively. For instance, someone with a stutter may struggle with fluent speech, often experiencing repetitions, prolongations, or blocks in their speech sounds. Another example could be a person with a speech apraxia, where there is a disconnect between the brain and the muscles involved in speech production, causing difficulty in coordinating the movements necessary for clear articulation.
In such cases, individuals may face challenges in expressing themselves clearly, which can impact their speech performance. It is important to note that speech disorders and impairments can vary in terms of their causes and severity, and it is advisable to seek professional help from a speech-language pathologist or a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
