Informative Speaking

Audiovisual TIP:

• Keep your audiovisual closely concealed until you are ready to use it in your speech

Example: Keep your poster turned around with nothing on the back

Audiovisual TIP:

• Incorporate your audiovisual into your speech…
• DO NOT say the conclusion of your speech and then explain the A.V. separately or…
• say “This is my A.V.” and point to it.

Remember:

• Everything in your speech will probably NOT go exactly as planned
• Stay relaxed and keep your sense of humor
• DO NOT freak out

FINALLY…

• Practice, Practice, Practice
• DO NOT say your speech for the first time when you get up in front of the class to be graded
• It WILL NOT go well…I promise
• “Winging It” will be disastrous… I promise

FINALLY #2…

• Rehearse to establish how long your speech takes to give
• Have your practice audience evaluate you by asking the questions on page 139/Note Taking Guide #2
