Answer Key
Enclosure 1:
The speech that you have written is not only to be read. It is also meant to be
spoken. How should one deliver a speech? Here are some tips for you!
1. Use conversational style more often. Audience do not like the speaker to
sound too unnatural or exaggerated.
2. Rapport with audience. Look at your audience in the eye so they will feel
that they are part of your speech. This will also keep their attention and you
will know who are paying attention. Use pauses when you emphasize the
most important words, phrases or sentences. Your pauses should not last for
three seconds.
3. Modulation. Remember to adjust your volume to the size of the audience and
venue. Modulate your voice but do not shout or yell. Vary your speed or rate
to avoid monotone pattern. This will avoid boredom.
5. Stage Presence. Start your speech by standing straight and balancing your
weight. This will give a positive first impression.
6. Gestures and Movements. Use precise movements. Move your arms with a
purpose. Avoid distracting mannerisms like swaying back and forth, leaning
on the podium, licking or biting your lips, playing with your wristwatch or
jewelry, scratching parts of your body, frowning, and others.
7. Facial Expressions. Avoid having a poker face or highly animated face. Just
smile unless you are talking about a sad subject. Your expression must match
what your message conveys.
Keep these tips in mind when you present your speech. You will do great!
