into being prepared

backwards and forwards to knowing
exactly how you're gonna present it step
by step in your webcast worksheet write

get across to the audience get the ideas
out of your head and onto the paper and
the next column to the right start
ordering these points in a logical
manner arguing your point to the
audience and wanting them over is like a
boxing match first start with some fancy
footwork a fact or an anecdote that will
hook the audience in and get them to pay
attention to you then throw a couple of
swings supporting evidence for your
argument stance personal stories
something that will
start to convince the audience that
you're taking control and finally the
knock out a landing blower statements

your speeches position all right step
two posture and physicality a key part
of keeping your anxiety Abbaye while
giving your speech is knowing what to do
with your body before your speech avoid

make you feel like you need to clear
your throat incessantly bring a bottle
of water onstage if you're allowed don't
be afraid to take sips throughout your
speech it'll keep your voice natural and
it gives you a moment to pause and
regain your composure if needed stand
