Public Speaking Tips

The web site I linked to gives ten steps to help make someone a better public speaker. Here are a brief description of each step:

1. Make eye contact with everyone in the audience
2. Put the audience at ease.
3. Use visual aids.
4. Give the audience handouts.
5. Remember that the audience has a responsibility also.
6. "Don't think how I can survive this?, think how can I do this brilliantly?"
7. Work out what you want done with the speaking to avoid a panic.
8. Change voice tonality and speed during speech.
9. Repeat previous exercises until the thought of public speaking can be relaxing.
10. Read a good book on public speaking.
