Public Speaking - giving a speech!
Write down one idea on each card.
Put the cards in order.
Experiment with giving your speech a number of different ways.
Practice giving your speech.
Read your speech to yourself.
Repeat this, seeing if you can not look at your index cards all the time.
Practice in front of a mirror.
Try different expressions, hand movements, tone of voice, etc.
Practice by recording your speech on a tape recorder.
If you have never heard your own voice on tape, this could be very interesting!
Are you speaking loudly enough? Too loud? Are you saying the words clearly? Are there any improvements you can think of?
Time the length of the speech. Is it too long? Too short?
Practice by giving your speech to someone you know.
Ask them what they think.
If they make a suggestion , think about what they have said.
When the time comes to give your speech - it will go smoothly no mater how much you do not like public speaking because you are ready which makes you feel confident!
