One last word of Advice…
7. For our purposes, we are referring to the degree of loudness
or softness of your voice.
This can be used to gain or hold attention, illustrate an
important point, or simply add interest to your speech.
Volume
8. The BEST way to become aware of your volume is 1) your video
and 2) other people. Do people often ask you to “speak up”
or use your “indoor voice”?

10. Pitch
Pitch is the perception of relative highs and
lows in your voice. People perceived as
“monotone” tend to have fewer changes
then other people.
11. Pitch
One way to work on pitch is to work on vocal
scales. A perfect, simple song is the “Do, Ra,
Me” song from Disney’s The Sound of Music!
12. Doe a Deer…?
Lyrics:
Doe a Deer a Female deer
Ray a drop of golden sun
Me a name I call myself
Fa-r a long, long way to run
Sew a needle pulling thread
La a note that follows sew
Tea a drink with jam and
bread
And that brings me back to

For some sound advice on
clothing, I would read:
Presentations: What to
Wear!
20. Dress

Thespians have it right- Dress rehearsals DO
help reduce wardrobe malfunctions.
22. The
Podium
1. It is for your note cards. Don’t lean on it, hug it, balance
yourself or do other “odd” things with it.
2. If you like playing the drums with it- take a step back from
it to avoid doing so.
23. The

Are the eyes the gateway to the soul? Who

trust between you and your audience. Solid
eye contact is a MUST for most speakers.

Want to increase your eye contact. I
say PRACTICE! But here’s some

“As a mother of an active young
man, I’m really concerned about
second impact syndrome. This is
where two concussions occur back
to back. They can be severe, as I
found when I watched a CNN
report called Concussions Steal
Player’s Memory by Dr. Sanjay
Gupta this past week. He talked
about a young man named Max
Conradt who WAS a star football
player in high school but after two
concussions within a week of each
other, barely made it out alive.”
