B 1.6 Students 10 tips for public speaking

Presenting Your Speech
Tips on Giving Effective Presentations:
1.Eye Contact: Using natural, direct eye contact helps your audience feel connected to you.
2.Gestures: Gestures can help you paint pictures with words, but make sure they don't get in the way, and they are natural.
3.Enthusiasm: Be enthusiastic. If you don't care, why should your audience? Your enthusiasm builds your audience's enthusiasm.
4.Articulation: Articulate your words clearly so the members of your audience will understand you.
5.Breathe: Breathing helps you control nervousness. It also gives you time to gather your thoughts. Remember that a pause can be used to provide emphasis.
6.Posture: Correct posture conveys confidence.
7.Tone: The tone of your voice can create or change a mood.
8.Dress: Dress for success. Be neat and professional. Don't wear loud accessories that will distract members of the audience.
9.Language: Use proper language and be careful not to use non-words and fillers such as "um" and "uh" too often.
10.Smile: A smile will not only make you look and feel better, but also make your audience more receptive.
