The quality of vocal delivery is one of the key indicators for evaluating teacher enthusiasm, which has been widely accepted to be connected to the overall course qualities. However, existing evaluation for vocal delivery is mainly conducted with manual ratings, which faces two core challenges: subjectivity and time-consuming. In this paper, we present a novel machine learning approach that utilizes pairwise comparisons and a multimodal orthogonal fusing algorithm to generate large-scale objective evaluation results of the teacher vocal delivery in terms of fluency and passion. We collect two datasets from real-world education scenarios and the experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm. To encourage reproducible results, we make our code public available at \url{https://github.com/tal-ai/ML4VocalDelivery.git}.
