Be energetic

Always be energetic when you are delivering a speech to an audience. Vary in your voice in pitch and in the speed at which you speak. Slow down for a dramatic point and speed up to show excitement. Pause from time to time for effect. Don’t just stand behind the podium, but move a step away to make a point. When you want to encourage your audience, take a step toward them. Gesture to show how big or wide or tall or small an object is that you are talking about. Demonstrate how something works or looks or moves as you tell about it. Show facial expression as you speak. Smile when talking about something pleasant and let your face show other emotions as you tell about an event or activity. Whatever your movements, they should always have a purpose.
