#PublicSpeaking anxiety usually peaks in the moments right before starting a speech. A WELL-REHEARSED INTRODUCTION enables you to keep your anxiety under control precisely when you are otherwise likely to feel most nervous. #PainlessPublicSpeaking

#PublicSpeaking is a skill that everyone will need at some point in their life, whether it’s to offer a toast at a friend’s wedding, to advocate for a new policy at a school board meeting, or to thank family & friends who attend a birthday celebration. #PainlessPublicSpeaking

@Public_Speaker_ Hear hear!!

If you're nervous when you take the stage, look out at your audience, find the first friendly face you see, & deliver the first few lines of your speech directly to that person. Then find someone in another part of the room & do the same. #PainlessPublicSpeaking #PublicSpeaking

That’s why, dear students, that sentences are NOT allowed on your notecards…ever.

You might devote extra practice to a portion of your presentation, but primarily a speech should be practiced in its entirety – beginning to end. This gives you a feel for the ebb & flow of the presentation, as well as its length. #PainlessPublicSpeaking #PublicSpeaking

AND….this is the FATHER giving birth!

Omg don’t do this!

Write on only one side of your notecards. Avoid the possible confusion that can occur when having to flip notecards over while delivering your speech. #PainlessPublicSpeaking #PublicSpeaking

All my students @TheColonyHS listen up!!! This goes for EVERY event where you use your voice!!

My student placed FIRST in Prose interpretation at the @JasperWolves tournament! She is going to transition her piece into a Dramatic Interpretation and compete in NSDA Nats qualifiers! So proud of her!!

I love this and many RWE quotes! Do you have a good source for them? I’m always checking Amazon for posters of his quotes for my classroom. He truly cared that people used their voices for the greater good.

When two of your @TheColonyHS stidents used their voices at a competitive tournament and placed 6th in Poetry and 5th in Prose!

Truth!!

A student found this quote and I LOVED IT. Amazon had it and I got it up on the wall of my classroom yesterday. I pray it inspires my speech & debate kids to be more confident to use their voice!!

In an essay, readers can reread a passage in which an idea was covered quickly. In a speech, the audience relies on you to PRESENT your material at a PACE that allows them to FOLLOW, UNDERSTAND, and REMEMBER the ideas covered. #PainlessPublicSpeaking #PublicSpeaking
