    PPT on 'How to give a speech'

    Use these notes when you practice your speech: 

    Just as words form the spoken language to communicate a message, the way we stand, where we look, how we move our hands and the tone of our voice form the body language.

    Eye Contact

    • Look at the audience for 3 seconds before you begin

    • look at several people throughout the audience (If you find this really difficult, look at the top of the heads of the people in the back row, then at least your voice will carry to everyone in the audience)

    Presentation Voice

    • Take a deep breath

    • begin speaking in a voice louder than your usual conversation voice

    Set Your Hands

    • Hold your cue cards loosely in one hand

    • Hold your hands together

    • Keep them about waist high in front of you

    • Set your feet

    • Place your feet & shoulder wide apart

    • Balance your weight evenly on both feet.
