Diction and pronunciation is very essential for any language. I had been to a beauty pageant rehearsals last night, the girls were great, ramp walk was quite okay and the brief introduction was also impressive but I was not happy with the diction and pronunciation of many contestants. Few had that Hindi accent, and some had Telugu accent and few had American way of pronunciation. Nothing wrong, but I feel strongly that in such contests, diction, pronunciation are paramount. Moreover, I feel British way of pronunciation is preferable over American way in such competitions. Some contestants were very formal with little expressions on their faces and some were very casual. Some were repeating their sentences in a rote manner and some were highlighting their negative points of their personality. Yes, you need to be casual, while answering but the gesture of casualness need to be deliberate. This was the contestants preliminary rehearsals, I am sure, they would be perfect on the D-day !!
