A forte for describing how speech is delivered (5)

I believe the answer is:

aloud

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'describing how speech is delivered' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'a forte' is the wordplay.
'forte' becomes 'loud' (similar in meaning).
'a'+'loud'='ALOUD'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aloud that I've seen before include "Audibly" , "Take part in, link" , "Not silently or in a whisper" , "At some volume" , "it is said" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
