Speech Making

Mastering the art of speech-making requires careful planning and practice. Always assume your audience is not familiar with your topic; explain everything in detail and provide definitions for unique terms. Organize your thoughts logically so that your audience can follow your ideas easily. Practice your speech to establish a smooth rhythm, and ensure your voice conveys confidence and interest. Maintain appropriate eye contact, use expressive gestures, and remember that authenticity is key. Avoid distractions and always aim to connect with your listeners.
