why are you speaking? then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. spend plenty of your time doing your research. then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. never forget your audience. dont talk over their heads, and dont talk down to them. treat your audience with respect. they will appreciate your thoughtfulness.just remember: be prepared. know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. be brief. say what you have to say and then stop. and be yourself. let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.if you follow these simple steps, you will see that you dont have to be afraid of public speaking. in fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! youre not convinced yet?
