Question # 4
How often will you pause?
The most powerful weapon in a speaker’s armoury is the pause.
Use a pause after a question, for example.
http://www.amazon.de/101-Tips-Speakers-prepare-tremendous-ebook/dp/B00S59KEY0
Use a pause to help people absorb what
you say and to get people’s attention.

A pause gives people time to think.

Question # 5
How slowly will you speak?
The average adult reads 300 words per minute, but people can only listen well to 150 words per minute.
Therefore, slow down.

Take a breath before you begin
speaking to avoid rushing and mumbling.

When someone asks you a question, repeat it. There are 2 reasons for this:
Reason # 1Some people in the audience may not have heard the question.
Reason # 2It gives you more time to think of your answer.

Avoid over-rehearsing.
That can be counterproductive.
When practicing, expect that your actual
talk will take at least 25% longer.
