Be prepared :
ž Use
personal examples and stories in your speech whenever possible. Make sure your
stories help to emphasize or support your point .In either case be willing to give of yourself by
sharing some of yourself with the audience.
Stay relaxed:
ž Make
sure you have the right location(school , hotel, room & time). Make sure
you know how to get to where you are speaking . Ask
ž Being prepared is far the most important element .how many times do you practice your speech ? As a general rule , you should spend about 30 hours of preparation and rehearsal time for every you will be speaking use a tape recorder or videotape yourself. This will help you to get an accurate picture of how you speak.
Give of yourself:
ž Use
personal examples and stories in your speech whenever possible. Make sure your
stories help to emphasize or support your point .In either case be willing to give of yourself by
sharing some of yourself with the audience.
žTo stay relaxed you should be prepared.
Also, focus on your message and not the audience. Use gestures and walking
patterns. Practice the opening of your speech and plan exactly how you will say
it. The audience will judge you in the first 30 seconds they see you.
Use natural humor:
Don’t try to be stand up
comedian. Use natural humor by poking fun at yourself and something you said or
did. Be sure not to make fun of anyone in the audience. People will laugh with
you when you poke fun at yourself but don’t over do it.
ž
Plan your body and hand positions:
ž During the practice of your speech look for occasions where you can use a gesture. Establish three of your speech look for occasions where you will stand and practice not only how to move to them but where in your speech do you move. Pick three positions, one center stage, one to your right
Pay attention to all details
