Speech Guidelines Environmental Issues
What NOT to do… • What could this student have done to improve the delivery of this speech? • Create a list of ideas while you watch the speech
DO THIS!!!! • Create a list of what makes this speaker AMAZING!!! SPEECH
PRACTICE!!! • Practice your presentation until you are sure you know It well. Ask friends or family members to listen to your speech and suggest ways to make it better. • Stay calm and confident. • Use body language. • Eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, posture • Use your voice effectively. • Pronounce words clearly and speak so your listeners can understand you • Rate/tempo-make sure you are speaking slowly enough that you can be understood • Volume- even if you normally speak quietly, you will need to speak loudly in a formal speech. Listeners in the back of the room should be able to hear you
Talking points • Tell them what you are there to discuss with a brief overview of your remarks. It is easier for an audience to follow a presentation when they know generally what to expect. • Choose specific points to make, and discuss these items clearly and concisely. Speak about one point at a time and make clear transitions as you move from point to point. This should be the longest portion of your presentation. • Conclude, reiterating all of your points very briefly. • Thank the audience and/or organization that invited you to speak and, if appropriate, take questions.
