Abstract: This Investigation Focused On The Speech Profile Of Pre-Service Teachers During The School Year 2022- 2023 As Input For A Speech Enhancement Program And Innovations. Specifically, Attempts To Deter- Mine The Socio-Demographic Characteristics Of Respondents In Terms Of Gender, Age, High School Type Graduated, Parents’ Educational Attainment, Employment Status, And Estimated Monthly Income; De- Termine Speech Profile In Terms Of Vocal Mechanism And Diction; Identify Their Strengths And Weak- Nesses In Speech Production; Determine The Significant Relationship Between Speech Profile And So- Cio-Demographic Characteristics; And Determine Whether Speech Enhancement Program Or Innovations May Be Introduced To Improve Weaknesses In Speech Production. A Descriptive Survey Research De- Sign Was Used To Gather Information On The Basic And Speech Profiles Of 40 Respondents. Results Re- Vealed, That Respondents Were Generally Female, 20-22 Years Old, Graduated From Public Senior High School, With High School Graduate Parents, Unemployed, And Earned PhP 4,000- PhP8,000. Results Showed That Respondents Were Very Strong In Loudness, Articulation, Pronunciation, And Even In Read- Ing Rate. However, A Closer Examination Of The Data Reveals That At Least One-Third Were Slow Readers. Furthermore, An Analysis Revealed That Females Have Louder Voices Than Males, Demonstrating A Sub- Stantial Relationship Between Gender And Loudness Of Voice. As Evidenced By The Extremely Signifi- Cant Relationship Between Rate And Gender, Females Read Faster Than Males. Results Also Showed That Those With Working Moms Could Talk More Articulately Than Those With Jobless Mothers. Finally, Re- Sults Demonstrated That Pronunciation Is Unrelated To Any Demographic Characteristics. A Suitable Speech Enhancement Program/Innovation Was Designed To Improve Proficiency In Speech Production.
