Talk, don’t read!
You have several choices for how you deliver your speech
Memorizing the Speech
+ allows eye contact
- difficult for long speeches
- room for precision errors
- no room for improvising
Reading From a Text
+ ensures precision
- does not sound natural
- no room for improvising
- hinders eye contact
Winging It
+ sounds natural
- has much room for error
Speaking From Slides
+ insures organization
+ allows eye contact
+ allows improvising
- some room for error

Don’t lose audience

– Smile, breath deeply, slow down and pause
