Four Tips/Pieces of Advice I Gave My Children for Talking to a Class/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.

TIP/HINT: 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

 

 

 

EXTRA TIP #2 – mic usage, proximity to your mouth

 

Slips for giving feedback
