In general the following will also help:
- Put your speech on numbered cue cards for professional presentation.
- Speak clearly and distinctly. It's no good giving a fascinating speech if no one can hear it!.
- Make sure there is enough light for you to see you speech
- Take some deep breaths before you start to calm your nerves.
- Personalise your piece. Everyone likes to hear a true story. Then practise, practise and practise!
- If you use a microphone hold it about nine or ten inches away from your mouth. Don't swallow it! Make sure the microphone is free-standing so your hands are free for your cue cards.
- Leave them laughing. A funny incident is always popular.
- Make it short. Your audience should want to hear more not less.
