A. In the Spotlight

• Your first speech will be an introduction to yourself.

• Great opportunity to “get your feet wet” speaking on a subject well-known to you.

• Also to practice listening skills and learn about your classmates.

• Your speaking ability will not be graded.

• I promise you will survive.

• You are an expert about you!

• We will introduce ourselves using a humorous method designed to make everyone feel comfortable about self-disclosure.

• You will decide whether you want to welcome questions after your speech.



C. Ice Cubes in the Stomach

• Glossophobia (the fear of public speaking) affects 75% of adults (Gaines, April 19, 2013).

• “…most people at a funeral would prefer to be lying in the casket rather than giving the eulogy” (Gupta-Sunderji 2004).

• Four fears associated with glossophobia: Fear of being stared at Fear of failure Fear of rejection Fear of the unknown



C. Ice Cubes in the Stomach

• Nervousness can be positive energy to help you focus.

• Strategies for coping:

Be prepared with good research; Practice; Control and slow your breathing; Discuss your anxiety with your classmates; Visualize a positive experience; Your audience wants you to succeed; Your audience is interested in your topic-YOU!



D. Front and Center

• When you are called on:

Walk, talk and breathe slowly;

Find focus spots at all four corners of your audience;

Know that the pounding heart, shaky legs and trembling voice usually subsides within 60 seconds. Earlier if you can find a way to laugh!



E. Be Sure to Use Correct English Grammar

• Your textbook includes this section but we are not covering or requiring you to incorporate this information into your speeches.



F. Say It Without Words

• Before you even say a word, you transmit impressions through nonverbal communication.

• Nonverbal communication is the conscious or subconscious transmission and reception of unspoken messages.

• Examples: your walk, posture, facial expressions, eye contact, hand gestures, proxemics, appearance.



G. Platform Etiquette

• To portray confidence, use good posture and location.

• Avoid distracting habits: Playing with your hair; Touching your face; Putting hands in pockets; Fussing with jewelry; Covering your hands with long sleeves.



H. Take Note

•Many people use notes while speaking.

• Notes should only include main points (bare outline).

•Whether you use notecards or full-page notes, transition smoothly (no throwing the cards/papers over your shoulder!)



I. Question-and-Answer Session

• At the conclusion of your speech ask, “Are there any questions?”

• Answer honestly and admit when you need to conduct more research in order to answer.

• At the end of each answer ask, “Did I answer you completely?” Then ask, “Are there additional questions?”

•When all questions are answered, thank the audience and confidently and quietly take your seat.
