Meaning

Prosody covers patterns of stress, rhythm, intonation and phrasing that shape how speech is heard.

A practical example

A sentence can sound like a question or a conclusion depending on its intonation and placement of pauses.

What to check

More emphasis is not always clearer narration. Listen for meanings or certainty levels that the performance adds beyond the wording of the script.
