Answer 1

First of all, eye contact is KEY to stage presence- so have it memorized at least 75% (The best way is to read it over and over- in your head AND out loud). I repeat- ALWAYS make eye contact, and be sure to speak loudly and clearly (no gum in your mouth!). Practice saying it in front of family and friends. Thank your audience with a nod of your head and a polite thank-you, UNLESS you have a really killer ending that leaves off.

Answer 2

Don't talk at them talk with them share your thoughts and your feeling about what happened and they'll share your sorrow , people don't judge your delivery when your voicing they're own thoughts , your not speaking to them your speaking for them .

Break your paper into short paragraphs and leave a space between each one , then you'll only need to glance at the paper to make sure you haven't missed anything out .

While your speaking search the faces in front of you for those who really do care about 9/11 because it will help to distract you from what you are actually doing and so make you relax and seem more natural .

Good luck but you don't need it .

Answer 3

If you can look up without losing your thread, then definitely yes. You'll be more likely to keep the attention of your audience and it'll help your voice carry.

If you don't have a microphone, look at the person sitting furthest back in the room, and make sure you speak loud enough for them to hear you. Good luck!

Answer 4

Hold the paper quite low so you can see people over the top of it and they can see you. Look up occasionally if you are confident you can do it without stumbling. Take a breath before you start and don't rush it. Remember that people want you to do well and you'll be fine. A thank you at the end would be nice.

Answer 5

Doyour best to look confident, try to forget that the head is present as it would put more pressure on you; having notes are always good and a thank you at the end is enough. Good luck, you are going to be great!

Answer 6

I took a speech class in high school. When giving a speech you should look at your audience, speak clearly, maintain your posture, articulate and pronounce all of your words so that you seem like you know what your talking about even if you actually don't. Have confidence in yourself and in what you are saying. Good luck

Answer 7

They kick you out of school if you followed what impressions I think you should go for. Sorry had to get that out.
One thing you could do to give yourself Natural brakes would be to get magazines pictures that correspond with what you have written, and show pictures. School library most likely would let you use agazines for a day. You ending sounds good.

Answer 8

Try to look up as much as you feel comfortable with but don't try too hard. Saying thank you is a lovely touch. Good luck, I am sure you will be fine.

Answer 9

You have to speak NATURALLY ! Try to look at them often ; when reading don't relay
your comm. to the paper, but to them, so keep your mouth at their level . At the beginning break the ice, so you look relaxed and on end thank them alright!
Go for it!
Ciao.John-John.

Answer 10

Try to memorize as much as you can and refer to your paper only when necessary. Look at the audience as much as possible. Just say "Thank you" at the end. That's enough.
