K E Y C L U B Public Speaking By: MRS Information and resources provided by the District Members Relations Committee 2011-2012
K E Y C L U B APPEARANCE • Dress Up-appropriate attire for appropriate audience • Confidence-the way you stand, the way you walk • First Impressions- entering the room, greeting audience • Smile!
K E Y C L U B BEHAVIOR • No ‘pee-pee’ dance- you may be nervous…but once you start dance…you’re making other nervous • Magnetic Wall- you are not attracted to the back wall, move around • Watch the time- don’t go over or under • *Hand gestures- can be good for expression, but may be distracting [triangle hands]
K E Y C L U B BEHAVIOR • Engage the audience- talk TO them, not AT them • Eye contact- don’t have a staring contest, but take a look at those lovely eyes in the audience • Interactive-bring up volunteers, ask audience questions, make it FUN • World is your stage- utilize the space that you are given
K E Y C L U B VOICE • Project!-if front row can’t hear you, back row is sleeping • *Vocal inflection- monotony is NOT the answer [brown bear] • *Enunciate- speak clearly so information is not misunderstood; don’t trail off [pencil trick, tongue twisters] • Speed- too fast, too slow, just right
K E Y C L U B CONTENT • Repeating KEY points!- more likely to remember • Professional language • No fillers-‘um,’ ‘err,’ ‘uh,’ ‘okay,’ ‘like’ • Stutter- Practice! [James Earl Jones]
K E Y C L U B Q & A • Repeat back the question- for clarification • Take your time- gather your thoughts • Be honest- Don’t know? It’s OKAY. • Never say ‘I don’t know, next.’ • Be respectful and helpful, ‘I am not sure, however, I’ll get back to you.’
