1. Facial Expression
No matter how speakers project their voice or
dancers move their body, if they do not show
appropriate facial expressions, they fail.
16. Enduring Understanding
2. Eye Contact
Looking directly at the
audience will make them
feel that they are
significant part of the
presentation.
Effective eye contact will
establish connection with
the audience.
17. Enduring Understanding
3. Gestures
Too much gestures might
be an overkill; too little of
them might make the
presentation dull.
Hence, it is imperative that
speakers consider the size
of the audience.
18. Enduring Understanding
While putting hands inside the pocket
may be acceptable to project a casual
look, many successful public speakers
would still prefer the use of formal
gestures particularly in very formal
occasions.
With the hands inside the pocket, the
speaker might look uncertain or
awkward.
19. Enduring Understanding
4. Posture
Good posture does not
have to be very stiff nor
does it have to be too
relaxed that the speaker
appears lousy or even
arrogant.
20. Enduring Understanding
Standing straight and
tall, with both feet flat
and slightly apart, chin
up, shoulders relaxed,
coupled with that
charming smile can
make up a good posture.

5. Movement
Knowing when to move to and fro must
be clear to every speaker.
Moving too much and aimlessly can be
very distracting.
23. Enduring Understanding
6. Appearance
While people are basically there to listen
to what the speaker has to say, how
he/she looks can make the audience
interested and pay attention to his/her
presentation.
24. Enduring Understanding
Dress appropriately for both your audience
and the occasion.
Avoid flashy jewelry.
A little makeup for women and a clean
haircut for men will definitely be appealing.

Many, if not most, people have stage
fright.
Once they set foot on stage, their knees
and hands start trembling.
Where does such fear come from?
27. Enduring Understanding
According to BDO, Seidman & LLP (2009),
people who deliver speeches look at
themselves as the “center stage”.
Once they see the crowd, their anxiety grows
even stronger.
They are also scared of looking foolish
particularly when they stumble in their
delivery.

steps to overcome stage fright.
1. Be prepared.
2. Keep on practicing.
3. Relax before speaking.
