Emphasize Key Words
To emphasize a word, speak it in a different way from the others words that surround it.
In other words, if you were speaking at a normal volume, raise your voice when you speak an important word. Or, if you have been talking loudly, utter the emphatic word in a deliberate whisper–and you have intense emphasis.
If you have been going fast, go very slow on the emphatic word. If you have been talking on a low pitch, jump to a high one on the word you are emphasizing. If you have been talking on a high pitch, take a low one instead.
Sometimes, for big emphasis, you can stress every single syllable in a word.
