Remember, no tension please.
7. CONCENTRATION: While speaking or listening, you must concentrate well on your surroundings .This means you must be able to attract your listener’s towards yourself and make sure that they are silently following you. You must have the potential to catch their attention to the maximum extent.
8. AUDIBILITY: Please ensure that you are perfectly audible to everyone present. One should neither speak too slowly nor at a very high pitch.
9. QUICK QUESTIONNAIRE: To involve the audience you can frame some interesting general awareness question related to the topic, but the question must not be too difficult otherwise the response won’t be very good and the motive would not be fulfilled.
10. NEW INNOVATIVE IDEAS/THOUGHTS: Your speech must involve same dynamic ideas and creative thoughts so as to ignite the audience but for the good.
11. BODY LANGUAGE: Your body language plays an important role. Check that you maintain a posture, your eyes and head must keep on slowly moving so that you can attract the attention of maximum people. Don’t move your hand or body too much as it distracts others.
