PUBLIC MOVES

As you practice, imagine your audience in front of you. Begin practicing from your full outline, then move gradually to your key word outline as the other becomes imprinted in your mind. Maintain eye contact with your imaginary listeners, just as you will during the actual presentation. Look around the room so that everyone feels included in your message. Try to be enthusiastic about what you are saying. Let your voice suggest that you are confident. Strive for variety and colour in your vocal presentation avoid speaking a monotone, which never changes pace or pitch, Pause to let important ideas sink in. Let your face, body, and voice respond to your ideas as you utter them.
