RESUMO

The purpose of the present study was to analyze the characteristics of speech fluency, vocal production parameters, emotions/feelings and physical sensations, which precede, are maintained or follow a situation of speaking in public in a group of people that reported difficulties to speak in public. The study gathered four people that reported difficulties to speak in public. To meet the objective of this study, data were collected from participants in three different moments. Participants were taped when delivering a presentation in a seminar or speech. In the other two situations, they were interviewed some moments before the presentation, and then right after the presentation. Concerning presentations, collected data were described and analyzed relative to speech fluency and vocal characteristics - perceptual assessment. Concerning the interviews, they were transcribed and analyzed using the discourse analysis method proposed by Rosalind Gill (2002). Based on discourse transcription, it was possible to organize it in categories: emotional/affective status, context, physical dimension, judgment, and cope strategies. Based on each category, we have also defined repertoires that allowed the general overview of the tendencies used in the speech delivered by the participants. The results and final conclusions allowed us to conclude that these categories were used as a framework to identify which were the singularities in the difficulties of speaking in public displayed by each participant. We detected articulation between emotional status and context parameters, especially in what concerns speech, time and other elements. Speech was the most frequently addressed topic by participants. We observed a correlation between emotion and time. As to vocal parameters, the study suggested that abnormal emotional status might interfere in some parameters: respiratory-speech coordination, speech pace, speech intelligibility, language habits, stress pattern, and melodic curve. The five identified categories and the unique contents that were accessed may serve to guide the work of therapists
