TIPS: PREPARING A SPEECH Preparing for a speech is one of the best ways to ensure you give an effective presentation. Try these tips to help you properly prepare: Organize your speech in a logical sequence: opening, main points, summary. Practice and rehearse a speech frequently prior to delivering it. Ask friends to be your audience, or practice in front of a mirror. Be sure to use a timer to help you pace your speech. Become familiar with the stage or the setting where the speech will take place. Get a sense of the size of the stage, where any steps or obstacles might be, and where to enter and exit. Choose comfortable clothes to wear, but always maintain a professional appearance. Visual aids should fit a speech, whether they are funny, serious or technical. The main goal of visual aids is to help the audience understand what is being said, and reinforce the points of a speech in unique and interesting ways. Source: toastmasters.org/
