• Watch the time- Don’t go over or under

• *Hand gestures- Can be good for expression, but may be distracting [triangle hands]

BEEHAVIOR


Engage the audience- Talk TO them, not AT them

Eye contact- don’t have a staring contest, but take a look at those lovely eyes in the audience

Interactive-bring up volunteers, ask audience questions, make it FUN

World is your stage- utilize the space that you are given


Project! - If the front row can’t hear you, then the back row is sleeping

Vocal inflection - Monotony is NOT the answer [brown bear]

*Enunciate - Speak clearly so information is not misunderstood; don’t trail off [pencil trick, tongue twisters]

Speed - Not too fast, not too slow, but just right
