THE TIPS
   Know your material. Pick a topic you are interested in. Know more
    about it than you include in your speech. Use humor, personal stories
    and conversational language  that way you wont easily forget what to
    say.
   Body language is important. Standing, walking or moving about with
    appropriate hand gesture or facial expression is preferred to sitting
    down or standing still with head down and reading from a prepared
    speech. Use audio-visual aids or props for enhancement if appropriate
    and necessary. Master the use of presentation software such as
    PowerPoint well before your presentation.
   Practice. Practice. Practice! Rehearse out loud with all equipment
    you plan on using. Revise as necessary. Work to control filler words;
    Practice, pause and breathe. Practice with a timer and allow time for
    the unexpected.
   Do not read from notes for any extended length of time although it is
    quite acceptable to glance at your notes infrequently. Speak loudly and
    clearly. Sound confident. Do not mumble. If you made an error, correct
    it, and continue. No need to make excuses or apologize profusely.
   Know the audience. Greet some of the audience members as they
    arrive. Its easier to speak to a group of friends than to strangers.
   Relax. Begin by addressing the audience. It buys you time and calms
    your nerves. Pause, smile and count to three before saying anything.
    ("One one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand. Pause.
    Begin.) Transform nervous energy into enthusiasm.
   Add humor whenever appropriate and possible. Keep audience
    interested throughout your entire presentation.
   When using audio-visual aids to enhance your presentation,
    be sure all necessary equipment is set up and in good
    working order prior to the presentation. If possible, have an
    emergency backup system readily available.
   Realize that people want you to succeed. Audiences want
    you to be interesting, stimulating, informative and
    entertaining. Theyre rooting for you.
   Dont apologize for any nervousness or problem  the
    audience probably never noticed it.
   Concentrate on the message  not the medium. Focus your
    attention away from your own anxieties and concentrate on
    your message and your audience.
   Gain experience. Mainly, your speech should represent you
     as an authority and as a person. Experience builds
    confidence, which is the key to effective speaking. A
    Toastmasters club can provide the experience you need in a
    safe and friendly environment.
