Stand erect.
You want to make your audience have confidence in you, make them
listen to every word you have to say. But they won't do that if you

Don't rush.
Remember to speak slowly enough so that everyone can hear all your words
ara won't get just a jumble of sounds, The larger a room is, the longer
it takes your words to reach all the people =~ so don't run your words
cher so that they sound like this:
Rrothersandsisters Ithinkpoliticalactionisimportant.
Eveak slowly, clearly, distinctly.
Use variety and emphasis.
Pon't speak in a monotone so that you sound like a motor droning on
ondlessly. Your audience will be bored, and so would you if you
could hear yourself.
Don't say: "Brothers and Sisters, we must all vote,"
SAY: “Brothers and Sisters, we must all yote!"
“less you uss emphasis, everything in your speech will seem equally
pv. vadii, Stress the points you want your audience to remember.
And don't always speak at the same speed. If you have something to
sey that you especially want everyone to hear, slow up just before it.
Your audience will be curious; they'll be waiting amciously for your
next word.
