Abstract

The effectiveness on the television communication is sustained on the handling of voice, which is the base of fundamental expression of the audio-visual contents. Consequently, the audience attention to the television message as well as under-standing and assimilating of it, will depend on a correct and expressive use of voice. These reasons guarantee the necessity to make an empirical investigation about the prosody form in which the news broadcasters on television use voice. Therefore, the actual communication is based on the results of a study in order to determine the intonation in broadcasters on television.
