Brainstorm Ideas:
- Should students be required to learn an instrument in school?
- Can introverts become good leaders?
- Should tipping in restaurants be mandatory?
- Importance of higher education?
Volume: Ideas and speech must be coherent as their purpose is to be heard by the audience. Not too quiet and not too loud, rather a comfortable conversational volume.
Variety of tone: Varying tone according to the different ideas being discussed disallows a monotone speech. Tone can also help emphasize specific points to help the audience remember important details.
Eye contact with audience members: Eye contact is a way to keep your audience’s attention. If my eyes wander, theirs might too.
Gestures and body movements that flow naturally and expressively: Gestures are also a way to emphasize specific points in a speech. In some cases, they can also enhance a description in the speech.
