Expressing enthusiasm by giving an energetic delivery with an assortment of facial expressions, gestures, and the pitch of your voice contributes a great deal to effective public speaking. Enthusiasm does not mean a speaker has to jump up and down all over the platform. But if you deliver the speech with feeling, intensity, and put plenty of eloquence into your presentation, the audience will walk out of the auditorium feeling conviction and elation they were there. One caution with enthusiasm - don't carry it on a high level all the way through your presentation. This will leave your audience feeling exhausted. There must be a reason for your enthusiasm that is relative to the content of your speech. Match your enthusiasm with the points you want to stand out. If everything is presented at the same level of enthusiasm nothing stands out, and the impact loses its impact!
