wat should u keep in mind while saying a speech?

Answer 1

Every speach should have an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. What should you remember?

Tell the people what you're going to tell them.
Tell them.
Tell them what you told them.

Got it?

Answer 2

Jack is bang on for content.

For delivery - know your audience. Are they visual? Is it late in the day? Is it over 1 hour? These things matter when you are trying to keep the attention of your audience.

Do slow your speech down - talking fast is a good way to lose people.

Make it interractive - keeps the audience engaged and not asleep or checking blackberrys.

Wear a jacket - always dress better than your audience. You will have instant credibility.

Practice in front of people to keep the time right, and make sure you don't have words that you will flub up.

Answer 3

First, know the speech well, inside and out, so that you are confident speaking it. During the speech, pay attention to your tone of voice, the volume, and pace at which you are speaking. You want to have good voice projection so everyone can hear you, but not be screaming. Also you don't want to go to fast and rush through, or no one will understand you.

Make sure to make eye contact with the room. You don't have to look directly at someone, just occasionaly glance up and focus your eyes on a general area where people are sitting. Make sure to look in different areas througout the speech!

Answer 4

Relax. Eye contact, speak slowly and clearly. Position your body so you are giving off confident body language (if you are slouched and scared, it doesn't matter what you say--no one will think you know anything.) Pause, both for effect and to put your next thought together (pausing before a sentence is natural and actually draws the listener in--pausing or 'um'-ing in the middle of a sentence loses the listener.)

Use note card/cue cards with brief notes (not sentences or your speech) that cue you to where you were going next.

Finally, be as animated as you can manage when giving the speech, with facial expressions and body movement. If you aren't chained to a podium, move around the stage. Visual aids help--they give people something message-related to focus on instead of just focusing on you. Try to spread your eye contact around the room. Early in the speech, find one person who is paying attention and quickly check their expression to see if you are doing well or losing the audience. If you find you are losing them, change your rythem, raise the volume a little, and get some attention.

Answer 5

Answer 6

A good question.
The speaker has to ensure that he/she is able to deliver his/her point of view clearly and coherently. Clarity has to be of thought, deliverance and of proper language plus gesturization. Modulation of the speech makes it more effective.
To enable the audience attracted towards you, do use some lighter episodes, dramatise your ideas and use language which is understood by everyone rather that bombastic words.
Look into the eyes of at least one or two persons in the audience. But at the same time keep moving your head to see every one.

Answer 7

Never 'Say' a speech! If you truly have a clear idea of what you want to say, and BELIEVE what you are saying, then LOOK the audience in the eye (Whether one person you are talking with or a large audience) and speak to them with conviction ! Put a lot of enthusiasm and be convinced of the topic yourself FIRST, before you try to convince others!

Answer 8

Couple of things, assuming you have the topic of speech well researched,
avoid repetition of words like "ok"
avoid frequent hand movements - sometimes people keep using their hand
make sure you do scan the room as you speak so that it would appear that you are addressing the group but not few individuals
Use presentation materials if possible
Speak strongly but slow
Make sure you entertain questions
And please keep the smile - it shouldnt make you feel you are going thru torture. Good luck

Answer 9

Don't be monotonous, maybe use an overhead projector or power point to make it more interesting. Also, if you're nervous, using power point or an overhead will allow you to turn off the lights, which for some reason makes me less nervous. I don't know why but it does ;0)

Answer 10

You want to know your material and stick to your topic. Make it informative but not boring. Not to long because people can't focus for long periods of time. Eye contact is important. Identify with your crowd. And smile and look calm. Stay focused on your topic and and don't wonder with your thoughts.
