15. Manuscript needed when wording must be precise but lacks spontaneity

16. Suggestions for making an effective manuscript presentation. Write like you talk, not like a term paper Print out the manuscript triple spaced, capital letters Underline words to emphasize Use stiff paper Number all pages/by hand and circle Rehearse until you can read whole lines without looking Take your time, vary speed, concentrate on ideas rather than words

17. Memorized – seems formal; Only one piece of advice – practice

18. Visual Guidelines: Appearance – Movement – try to move out of “action zone” Posture Facial expression Eye Contact

19. Auditory Guidelines: Volume Rate – between 120-150 words per minute Pitch – highness or lowness of voice Vary volume, rate, and pitch to add emphasis Articulation -
