Writing a Speech
There are three parts to a speech that you
should know:
• Introduction - “Tell'em what you're gonna
tell'em”
• Body - “Tell'em”
• Conclusion - “Tell'em what you've told'em”

It usually takes me more than three weeks to
prepare a good impromptu speech.- Mark

How to Handle Anxiety and
Other Problems
“I get lots of request....but i keep playing anyway!”
18

Common symptoms of anxiety, and
things you can do to deal with them:
Symptoms Solutions
Nervous Stomach Breathe slowly. Do not eat prior to speaking.
Vomiting, Nausea, or
Diarrhea
Avoid eating ahead of time.
“Jelly Legs” Move around. Sakung rarely shows to the audience, so
don't worry about it!
Trembling Hands Use rings to connect your 3x5 cards, or use a small
notebook, to avoid dropping your notes.
“Tongue Tied and
Twisted”
Don't apologize or make excuses. Instead, ust stop,
take a breath and begin the sentence again.
Shortness of Breath Slow down, swallow, inhale then exhale. Then smile and
make an eye contact with a friendly face.
Blushing Ignore it. If the audience can even see it, a blush will
just appear to a “healthy glow.”
19

Common symptoms of anxiety, and
things you can do to deal with them:
Symptoms Solutions
Extream Sweating Wear light colors, which shows circles less. Use
antiperspirant. “Dress shields” pinned under the
arms may help with appearance, if necessary.
Cold or Cough Take tissue and a cough drop to the lectern with
you.

Public Speaking: A Social Contract
Have you ever attended a speech
where the speaker was easy to
understand but clearly did not want
to be there?
22

• audience expectations
• role of the speaker
• social contract
• critical to a speaker's success
• knowledge
• violated
• knowing the social contract
23

• To understand the social contract, think back
to the best public speakers you've seen. As
you listened to them speak, you probably felt
that each speaker was
• Competent
• Approriate
• Relevant
• Appreciative
• Content
24

Fullfilling the Contract
Everything that you do as a speaker sends
a message, which may be recognized
consciously or unconsciously by the
audience.
25

Speaker Messages perceived by the audience
Good Posture You are confident.
You are in command.
You respect the audience.
Speak Clearly,
Slowly and Distinctly

If the audience listens, they will be able to understand.
Make Eye Contact You value the audience.
You care how they react.
You are confident.
You are credible.
Yo want to be there.
Sile and Have Fun You want to be there.

Enthusiastic

Your topic is very important.
You are credible.
Speak in the most
inclusive way

Don't Apologized for
Getting Tongue Tied
Apologizing can send the message that you believe
you're less than competent.
Apologizing can send the message that you don't want
to be there.
Apologizing can convey that you are unsure and asking
for their approval.
Please note that apologizing is a valuable skill in every
other area of your life!
