Proper articulation, whether you call it projection or enunciation or 
modulation or whatever, is just speaking consciously with a knowledge and 
appreciation of how to use the voice for maximum intelligibility. People don't 
naturally do this; you have to think about it and learn it. Radio operators 
who know how to articulate properly get more complete contacts under difficult 
conditions.

It's really like using organic, brain-centric speech compression/clipping --  
you boost the amplitude-domain and/or the time-domain parameters of sounds 
that typically get short shrift in ordinary speech.
