5. Speaking Tips The best way to practice your speech is to present it aloud—again and again. Try speaking in front of a mirror so you can evaluate and improve your posture, gestures, eye contact, and use of visual aids. You might tape-record a practice session so you can critique your voice quality and effectiveness.

6. The Full Package 1. Use your voice effectively. Speak loudly enough to be heard, but vary your pitch and tone. 2. Maintain eye contact. Look directly at a member of the audience while you speak, moving your eyes from person to person.

7. The Full Package 3. Incorporate gestures and facial expressions. Let your emotions show in your face—particularly in your eyes and mouth. 4. Use visual aids. (AKA YOUR POWERPOINT)
