Public Speaking Tips for COMM 1110 - Presentation Transcript

  1. COMM 1110 Barbara B. Nixon
    • Decide on your central theme
    • Carefully select your main points
    • Prepare one 3" x 5" or 4" x 6" notecard.
    • Practice your speech three to six times.
    • Tape record and critique one practice.
    • Practice using your visual aid, if you'll have one.
    • Time your speech
    • Never write out your speech word for word.
    • Do not attempt to memorize your speech.
    • Breathe.
    • Primacy Effect
    • Recency Effect
    • DO approach the podium with confidence.
    • DO establish eye contact with the audience before you begin to speak.
    • DO something to get the attention of your audience before you begin to speak.
    • DO have your introduction fully thought out and well prepared.
    • DON'T apologize.
    • DON'T be long winded.
    • DON'T antagonize or offend your audience.
    • DON'T use irrelevant material.
    • DON'T start out with, “Today I'm going to talk to you about...”
    • DON'T practice your introduction more than you practice the rest of the speech.
    • DO keep the style of your conclusion consistent with the style of the rest of your speech.
    • DO write out the first sentence of your conclusion on your notecard.
    • DO be succinct and to the point.
    • DON'T merely stop at the end of your main points and say, “That's all I have to say.”
    • DON'T stretch it out. Summarize your main points, then finish with something the audience will remember.
    • DON'T apologize.
    • DON'T introduce new points or material in the conclusion.
    • DON'T pack up early.
    • DON'T continue to speak as you leave the podium.
    • DON'T forget to signal the end of your speech by saying, “Thank you.”
