How to show enthusiasm, show energy and use eye contact. The volume has to be louder than normal, and use a variety of tones, to avoid monotone. Avoid “ums” and any other, if you have to pause do it get on track and keep going. Pause after a main topic. Hands, gestures and body language will help have a slower pace. Look around the audience, be confident on what you say. Don’t do a repetitive gesture it will show you are nervous. Be outgoing, show your knowledge. Remember to understand the purpose and to keep the message clear and concise. Be prepared and have visuals. These steps will lead you to an outstanding presentation.

Be outgoing is very important for the audience because you don't want a boring person speaking up there. This is a great post and i'll be sure to keep it in mind for my future public speakings.
ReplyDeleteYou must also evaluate your audience beforehand. If you're giving a serious or persuasive speech, too much enthusiasm could be mistaken for sarcasm. Overall, great post! We're finally done, yay!
ReplyDeleteNice and concise, Michael. You might have considered more white space and using ennumeration rather than one big paragraph.
