Techniques
What
you are speaking is not the only key to an important speech,
it is also about how you speak it.
Volume
Volume may be the most important detail in how to make a speech
go off smoothly. You should control your volume according
to the level of intensity of the subject you are talking about.
Stress
You should only stress crucial points of your speech. If you
make everything seem of the same importance (unless it is)
then people will get bored with your speech and just tune
out.
Pronunciation
Say you have a word that is hard to pronounce, 'antidissestablishmentarionism'
for example. All you have to do is find the word in a dictionary
and there should be a pronunciation key along with the word's
definition.
Pacing
Pacing. This is the hardest action to know when to do. If
you do not time it right and just pace the whole time, your
audience will think that you are trying to busy yourself or
that you forgot the words and are trying to distract them
from your mistakes. However, if you time the pacing right,
you can have a positive effect on the audience. It is hard,
though, you have to pace at just the right times to emphasize
your point.
