communication. People hear the words
instead of reading the words. With a
speech, listeners have to get your
points the first time. It's a good idea to
explain quickly what your main point is
going to be. That helps the audience
know what to listen for.

End With a Bang!


After you've laid out your plan for the
speech, it's a good idea to end your
speech with a rousing conclusion.
Leave people feeling excited and that's
what they'll remember about you.

 Say It Out Loud
 Mark Up Your Script

Here are a few pointers-
Slow It Down
Try to speak slowly and clearly in a
voice that is loud without shouting.

Keep It Lively
Practice speaking with conviction.
Include some pauses and emphasize
your key points with your voice.

and make them feel as if you are
addressing them personally.
