1ST PRINCIPLE:
ARTICULATION
- This refers to the speaker's skill in pronouncing the
words of the speech since clear diction effectively
transmits the message.

2ND PRINCIPLE:
MODULATION
- This refers to the speaker's ability to adjust or
manipulate the resonance and timbre of one's
voice. This also means fine-tuning the pitch or REMEMBER:

and speech delivered by a speaker.
Lack of modulation may give the impressions
that you have no real interest in your subject.
 ESSENTIAL TIPS TO
MODULATE A SPEECH
Always convey your message with the variation in the pitch

the right syllables 'Understand?', 'Clear?', "Was it clear?', etc.
3RD PRINCIPLE:
STAGE PRESENCE

- This refers to the speaker's ability to "own" the

stage, filling it with one's personality and projecting
it to the audience or group of listeners. This also
means the sum total of all the qualities that keep the
audience engaged while delivering a speech.
 ESSENTIAL TIPS ON MAKING A
GOOD STAGE PRESENCE
Appearance and comfort is our first sphere. You
1 must be dressed for the occasion.
Body comfort and attitude is the second sphere. Right
from the moment you step on that stage your body
language matters. The way you stand, your speaking
2
posture, use of hand gestures etc. everything counts and
hence must be well noted and taken care of.
The third sphere is the tone of the speech . You can play
with different styles, as is suitable to the topic of your
3 speech. Voice modulation, use of examples, a peck of
humor, etc. all this is important in engaging the audience.
The fourth sphere is the use of stage space. It is a smart
move on the part of a speaker to choreograph his speech,
4 that is, he must plan a speech to be delivered using
different parts of the stage at different levels.
5TH PRINCIPLE: BUILDING
AUDIENCE RAPPORT
-One of the keys to a successful presentation is to ensure that
you are in rapport with you audience. Rapport is the trust and
connection that a speaker creates with his/her audience. If
you are asking people to adopt a new way of thinking, an
alternate viewpoint or change their behaviour then it is
crucial to develop trust and connection and rapport.
 DIFFERENT STRATEGIES THAT
CAN HELP YOU QUICKLY
DEVELOP RAPPORT WITH YOUR
AUDIENCE
 1. Having accommodating body
language.

- This means body language that will help to build rapport

and trust. Have a smile when greeting people and a nice
handshake that matches and mirrors that of the other person.
 2. Use a lower rate of speech and use pauses
rather than umm and ahh.

- By slowing down your rate of speech and modelling

silence and pause, you are showing your audience that you
are relaxed and comfortable (even if you are a little
nervous).
 3. Talk about the audience and what you hope
to give them.

- This requires that you take the focus of your presentation

off yourself and make the presentation visibly and
emotionally about the audience. Make the presentation for
the audience and about their needs.
4. Listen to the audience

- At the beginning of your presentation ask the audience

what they want from you. What are their major concerns
and needs? Then address them. By asking questions and
then showing genuine interest in their questions you will
build rapport.
5. Manage your audience’s energy level

- As your audience tires and fatigues and when a speaker

goes on for too long, rapport can be lost. So as a speaker
you need to manage this energy level. Take breaks, get
people to stand up, and speak to the person next to them.
 Perhaps, the most important
tip before delivering a speech
is "to be prepared".
