Tips for Public Speaking

     Prepare the goals of your speech and the content well ahead of time. Create the framework for your speech. Write down the topic, general purpose, specific purpose, central idea, and main points.

     Make sure to grab the audience’s attention in the first 30 seconds. Grab attention at the beginning, and close with a dynamic end. Conclude your speech with a summary and a strong statement that your audience is sure to remember. If you have your speech coming up, make time every day to practice.
