better
Pointers When You
Deliver Your Talk
• Consider your appearance before facing your audience. Try
to convey a look of competence, preparedness, and success.
• Focus on your listeners rather than yourself.
• Talk loudly enough for everyone to hear you.
• Avoid leaning over your notes or the podium for you to be
able to project yourself.
• Look at your audience while you are delivering your talk.
Establishing eye contact with the audience can help you read
their reactions.
 Pointers When You
Deliver Your Talk

• Use gestures for the purpose of emphasizing your point.

Aside from gestures, you can even use visual aids or props to
help you explain your fully ideas.
• Project confidence and enthusiasm by varying your pitch.
Speak at a rate that normal mirrors normal conversation-not
too fast, not too slow. Vary also your volume to engage your
listeners and to emphasize important points.
 Pointers When You
Deliver Your Talk

• Pronunciation and word choice are important. Wrongly and

poorly articulated word, a mispronounced word or a misused
word can quickly destroy your credibility.
• If there is a question-and-answer portion after your talk, be
ready to answer as this activity can encourage you to think
and learn the art of managing unexpected events.
 Pointers When You
Deliver Your Talk
When your classmates ask questions during or after the
presentation that confuse you, consider the following strategies:

-Ask for the restatement of the question

This can provide you hint to help you respond to the question
-Say "I Don't Know"
If you are not sure of the answer, be honest to admit that you
really Do not know the answer.
-Ask the questioner for an opinion
Many people who asks questions have their own ideas of what a
satisfying answer should be.

a nearly incapacitating fear.
• Some of the most common symptoms of speech anxiety are;
shaking, sweating, butterflies in the stomach, dry mouth,
