  14. Delivery of the rollo/talk • Be yourself –do not sound like someone else • Language that you are comfortable with • Be mindful of the first 90 seconds • Deal with nervousness • Body language/eye contact • Voice variety • End strongly • PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE

  15. Critique of the rollo/talk • Better written • Stress positive • Suggest areas for improvement • Contents—only if you know • Delivery from the point of view of candidates • Clarity • Voice • Facial expression • Gestures • Eye Contact

  16. In the end, remember always that: • You are not doing this for yourself. • Your service is a visible presence of God’s love. • Your rollo/talk is an encounter with Christ. • You are sacramental!! • Not to worry—be joyful!!
