Body Language/Mannerisms

• Proper posture
• Stand straight
• Hands either on the podium or at side
• Dont fidget or dance see my example
• And for the love of orange suits,
• DO NOT LEAN ON THE PODIUM!!!

Pronunciation

• Clearly pronounce each word if you do not know
  how to pronounce something, look it up!
• NO SLANG!
• Remember, this is a formal speech!
• Avoid fillers
• you know um like and so
• uh

4
Pitch

• Refers to the highs and lows of the voice
• Avoid a monotone voice at all costs!

5
Speed

• You are going to be nervous, and this causes you
  to talk faster
• Take a deep breath, relax, and start slower
• Dont speak too slow thats a sure way to create
  a crowd snoozer!

6
Volume

• Make sure the people in the back can hear you
• Do not scream
• You may want to try getting louder at some
  sections for emphasis

Quality

• Keep your voice conversational nobody likes to
  be talked at
• You need to practice your speech to gain fluency
• DO NOT waste our time with a speech you did not
  bother to practice

Stage Movement

• You should not be afraid to interact with your
  audience
• People view you as a confident speaker if you can
  step away from your notes and walk in the front
  of the room

9
Eye Contact

• DO NOT READ YOUR SPEECH
• Look at the entire audience, not just the left
  side of the room
• This is the best way to connect with your
  audience
• This will be heavily graded

It's not how strongly you feel about your topic,
it's how strongly they feel about your topic
after you speak. --Tim Salladay
