Four Tips/Pieces of
Advice I Gave My Children for Public Speaking
1. Deaf
grandmother- speak up, speak a bit louder than usual, slow your rate of
speech down a bit, slower than usual
2. Good dog!-
energetic tone, energy in your voice, animated, avoid monotone
3. Magic eye
– eye contact, right between the eyes
4. Wavy hands- hand gestures, be careful of pacing
It gets easier with practice.
If you see a presenter that you like, copy some aspects of
their style.
EXTRA TIP: Reframe in my mind- no group, just individuals
Everybody is on your side.
Memorizing-
Extemporaneous
speech- talking freely and naturally about a topic
Ad lib- making up things on the spot
** From homework**
