2
Keep in mind that the audience can't
remember many numbers or list items.
3
Try not to say Um''. It's okay to have
silences instead.
4
  • For a short talk, notes or outlines
    often do more harm
  • than good.

5
  • Ask yourself what information on a
    handout would be useful to your audience.

6
  • It may help to think of giving a speech
    as being like telling a story.

7
Try to look at the audience, not at your feet,
your notes, or the ceiling.
8
  • For some people (but not everybody), it is
    a good idea to keep your feet firmly planted, as
    if you have nailed your shoes to the floor.

9
  • Don't just print up copies of all your
    overhead slides in miniature and make that your
    handout.
  •     

10
  •   Realize that you will be tempted to look
    at the screen rather than your audience.

11
  • Decide in advance what you can you skip if
    you are short of time.
