What is wrong with the sentence words of puppeteers must be speak clear for all to hear?

The sentence "Words of puppeteers must be speak clear for all to hear" has a few problems:

* Incorrect verb tense: "Speak" should be "spoken". The sentence needs a past participle to form the passive voice.

* Word order: "Speak clear" is awkward. It should be "clearly spoken".

* Redundancy: "Clear" and "hear" are somewhat redundant. The idea of hearing implies clarity.

Here are some ways to correct the sentence:

* The words of puppeteers must be clearly spoken for all to hear.

* Puppeteers must speak clearly so everyone can hear them.

* The words of puppeteers should be clear enough for everyone to understand.
