POWER SPEAKING FOR PRESENTATIONS (PART – 2)
Using your Voice, Breath and Body effectively while Presenting
A few things you should be aware of while you present:
Take a few relaxed breaths before you start speaking
Align your spine and centre your body before you start speaking
Avoid holding your breath when you are planning what to say next
Learn to make effective use of pauses. Don’t use vocal fillers like ‘Uhm, Uh’. Breathe whenever you pause
Avoid using long sentences that will strain your breathing. Your audience will also find it difficult to understand you
Speak at a pace that is not too fast or slow. Vary your pace depending on your content
Make yourself interesting with vocal variations, often referred to as voice modulation in India
Avoid wearing high heels and waist hugging clothes so that you don’t squeeze your body and breath
