Answer 1

Answer: When you are giving a speech, don't stare down at your paper. You should make eye contact with your audience and help them understand your message. Any body movement, like rocking back and forth, will distract your audience and take away from your intended message. Keep your speech brief and concise or the audience will lose interest. Keep quotes to a minimum and only where it makes sense. Try to speak loudly and clearly so that your entire audience understands what you saying.
