Write down your
speech, but try not to
read from it. If you
have written it down - if
you dry up, you will be
able to pick it back up
again.
Effective Delivery
Be active - move
Be purposeful - controlled gestures
Variations – vocal (pitch, volume, rate)
Be natural
Be direct – don’t just talk in front of the
audience talk to them
